Fic Recs!

[stoney321]

Oh, man, do I have some fic for you. From the "tee hee" to the "I'll be in my bunk variety." Pay no attention to the fandom or pairings. Pay attention to the deft writing. Srsly.

From entrenous88 comes a Gunn/Xander fic. No, wait! See, I think Gunn is as manly a man that ever manned. I'm not really a Xander slasher, either. So if you're like me, just...TRUST ME. This is dialogue you'd kill to be able to write. Hilarious and rather chaste. Did I mention dialogue to die for? Stake Out. (I need to just say how much I love the idea of an actual stake out. The buddy cop concept is one of my faves.)

From floweringjudas is another HP fic. We all know that fandom is insane. So I'll sift through the crazy and bring you absolutely terrific plot and porn. Laura is TIGHT with her storytelling, y'all. Dark, adult, incest, backstory as to why factions despised each other really . Severus, Regulus, Sirius. Sisyphus

From moosesal comes one of the raunchiest, naughtiest fics I've read. I have no idea who these people are. Trust me when I say I don't care. Het. Fisting. Good lord the smut. Such A Sweet Pussy. And good morning with that title! It's... about a cat. :D (In the words of Steve Martin: that cat was the best fuck I ever had.)

From slasheuse is more Regulus/Sirius, and really. I know. Incest Is Wrong. Holy crap, is it hot in fic. I mean wrong! Wrong. Sophie is ridiculously good at getting the nuances between siblings. Warning: Regulus is 14 at the time of this fic, and this is pure hatecest. O_O Pride.

Oh, hey! You probably need a palette cleanser of humor, right? Possibly some crack with a helping of crossover? Good thing I wrote two such things yesterday. (And again -I don't DO crossovers. Except for how I did.) Anakin Skywalker and Angel arguing over who has the worst love life while sitting in Sacred Heart (AtS/SW/Scrubs) and Charles Gunn and Chris Turk discussing their bosses, J.D. POV (AtS/Scrubs) (I prefer the second one, personally.)

I've got two more prompts I'm working on - because crack is fun. And cherusha wrote PotC!! I'll be on that like white on rice later. She can write snark like nobody's business, and her drunken Jack Sparrow is gleefully debauched. \o/

You're very nice to include me in such fine company! *smooches*

And now I go to read your crack fic (which for some reason I almost wrote as cat-fic, probably because you and Steve Martin are scarring me for life here).

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Puh. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I think you're one of the finest dialogue writers not being paid for your work. Which you should be. You're FANTASTIC at it.

And haha, CAT! I'm sending you an email about cats right now, ha! *squish*

[moosesal.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the rec. One little detail -- it's Fisting, not rimming. *g*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, whoops! I was going back and forth with Brandi in her journal, and had "rimming" in my mind. Heee! Fixing, and you bet - it was excellent. you write FANTASTIC porn. Raw and hot and MALE. Mmmm.

[moosesal.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks. The "Male" comment there really makes me laugh because several Due South fans joked about me "slashing" Stella in the way I wrote her here. What a great compliment. *g*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Puh, Stella is a chick that knows what she wants, is all. LIKE A LOT OF WOMEN, hello.

No, you really have a visceral quality to your words and descriptions that are very masculine, which is something I love about your fics. There's appreciation that men are different from women. Not... not a lot of slash writers out here understand that.

[moosesal.livejournal.com]

You're making me blush.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Aww, but you're so cute when you blush!

[serenelystrange.livejournal.com]

Waay too tired for any sort of fic today.. but I will be looking into that POTC and Ats/Scrubs stuff at a later date, lol.

Also, your icon reminded me that Coupling comes on tonight, hooray!

Thanks for that, :D

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Yay Coupling! Hit those fics up - the recs stay alive in my. :D

[sweetumms33.livejournal.com]

Thanks for all the recs. I listened to you about FNL so I know you have good taste!!! But I wanted to ask, is there a HP fanfic community here on LJ? Most of the ones I have seen are pretty dead, but maybe I missed the good ones. I really need some new fic to get me through the next few months!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

"is there a HP fanfic community here on LJ?" Ahahahaha! Omg, that's like the LARGEST fandom on LJ, seriously. You can't throw a dead cat without hitting at least fifteen. I'm not very active in that fandom - I mostly lurk with writers I know and trust.

Those fics I linked to are by writers that are actively involved in some of the elite writing comms for HP, so checking their user info would be the first place I'd look!

Posting this here in case anyone else was wondering. Sorry, M!

A n00b's guide to HP fic

Okay, first off, the essentials: The Pit of Voles (http://www.fanfiction.net) (quality: not so much, quantity: hell yes), Fiction Alley (http://www.fictionalley.org) (which makes me break out in hives), WitchFics (http://www.witchfics.org) (if you like novel-length Snape/Hermione), the Sugar Quill (http://www.sugarquill.net) for if you like a lot of Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny, and I'm not sure where to find Harry/Hermione but that's what you get for asking a Secret R/Hr Shipper how to find HP fic.

In this fandom, pr0n outweighs all other types of fic. It's what you get when your fanbase is largely twentysomething women. They like to make the characters kiss. ...At this point, I'd say slash beats out het in popularity, as well, but I think there's been a het insurgence (har) lately. As well as gen. People're reading more diverse things.

Probably your best bet is to go with watcher comms/journals. These are communities where people keep track of specific character-centric fic and art, and post digests of them weekly or daily for general consumption. There's my favourite, quibbler_report, which is a recommendation newsletter (so you know the quality's good) for anything gen or "rarepair" in HP fandom. There's also hd_prophet for Harry/Draco, sshp_prophet for Snape/Harry, harry_ron_recs for Harry/Ron, rhr_daily and rhr_ficrecs for Ron/Hermione, hg_daily for Harry/Ginny, and so on and so forth.

A few other ones that may be of interest: pornish_pixies and its het counterpart erotic_elves, for high-quality smut. weasleyworship for Weasley Family-related stories/discussions. percy_fans and percy_ficathon for specifically Percy Weasley discussion/fic (yay Percy! *pimp pimp pimp*). There's genfic_hogwarts for gen stories. There's hpslashnotsmut for worksafe slash stories.

There are also daily news digests like hogwarts_today and daily_snitch that link to fics, polls, discussions, etc. every day.

And I think that's enough to be going on with.
