more recs, yes, I know, but this is how I reward myself!

[seperis]

Recs! Yes, I know, but I am rewarding myself for twenty pages of editing, so I am allowed to procrastinate and rave about awesome fic.

I'm trying not to theme by author, since in general, if I like one story by an author, it's fair to say I'll like everything by them, so probably only one story by an author per rec set.

Star Trek Reboot RPS - Zach/Chris

Mancrush by withthepilot - my love for this is pure and giggly and awesome. Also, she totally had me at the title.

Hang Me Up to Dry by 1297 - this is delicious, delicious, delicious porn with a taste for exhibitionism. Yes, I know, I love this fandom. And this author, for that matter.

Take Me Out by winterlive - Zach/Chris/Zoe, Zach/Chris - this was a very clever plan. I love threesomes with bisexual epiphanies, and this one is smoking. I also love winterlive and am trying to set up a cult in her honor. Apply in comments for junior priestess positions, plz.

Inhabiting by gigantic - bar none, this is one of my favorite stories. It's slow and meandering and builds a relationship from the ground up and seamlessly translates to romance until it feels there's no other way this ever could have gone. It's even better in re-read.

It's a Bright Day (Even If You Stand in the Dark) by xsunnydayx - This is another in the re-read regularly category. I'm trying to think of a way to get across how pretty this one is, but just, you know, go for it.

Poll, As I Am Bored

Okay, so. Because I like to please, and also, because I can't think of what to do next, pick two fandoms you'd like to see me rec from and if I have stories from them, I'll do a rec post on the two most checked.

[Note; I haven't updated my rec page in like, a year, so believe it or not, I have like, five hundred unsorted recs, some not even marked yet. This is getting intimidating. This will help me hunt them down!]

[Poll #1435948]

even though I only occasionally write or read it anymore, and if I do write it, it's almost always just for myself, I can't imagine ever NOT defining myself as in LOTRIPS. it wasn't my first fandom, it wasn't my last, but it's the one that I have never fallen out of love with.

edit, after re-reading the post more carefully: I don't actually expect recs in this fandom. I was just going to accuracy. :)

[the-emef.livejournal.com]

It is a teeny tiny fandom, but I love The Big Bang Theory. cereal writes some great stuff, and of course annakovsky's story for last year's yuletide was made of yay.

[lexii314.livejournal.com]

I picked Merlin. Star Trek Reboot and Atlantis (non Shepp/McKay)

[roga.livejournal.com]

I suck at choosing only two.

[burnishedvictory]

I chose 3, but I think Star Trek Reboot and Star Trek Reboot RPS can appear in the same recs list. Maybe that makes me a heathen, but I'm okay with that. :)

Thank you for the awesome recs. I have dishes to do, but they can wait. Or maybe I'll copy your example and use these stories as a reward. Hmm. Spock voice: "This idea has merit".

[percysowner.livejournal.com]

Although canon is making it hard right now, I am a Supernatural fan at heart.

[illariy.livejournal.com]

Apply in comments for junior priestess positions, plz.

Now, the question is: do these positions require an extended knowledge of yoga? If so, I'm unfortunately out. :P

[aurora]

Inhabiting by [info]gigantic - bar none, this is one of my favorite stories.
Right!? My favorite part is where Zach grabs Chris' wrist in the air balloon and doesn't let go.

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

Other - Merlin rps. :D

Your last set was helpful since I had missed a couple of Merlin stories. Thanks.

[calligrafiti.livejournal.com]

I've finally fallen for Merlin, and I'd love to find whatever good fic has been written for it.

[lillian13.livejournal.com]

Criminal Minds, NCIS, Supernatural...if it's a good story, it usually doesn't matter what the fandom is.

[jamesinboots.livejournal.com]

Damn, it was so hard to choose because I read ALL of those fandoms, except SGA!! MRPH.

[mardia.livejournal.com]

I might not have read closely enough, and so I basically clicked, like--four fandoms instead of two. Whoops.

[aliciajd]

In addition to Merlin and the New Star Trek, I read in the following fandoms. Harry Potter, Stargate1, The Sentinel, Highlander, Pet Shop of Horrors, Good Omens, The Man from Uncle, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek TOS, Star Wars - Master and Apprentice.

Harry Potter is my main fandom, but I keep up still with many of my older ones.

[moojja.livejournal.com]

This is all your fault. I had no interest in Star Trek RPS until you started to rec stories. Now I find Chris Pine incredibly hot. (Which is strange, since I like Spock better than Kirk, but Pine better than ZQ.)

This is my way of saying thank you for all the recommendations, and kept them coming.

[ghfan-98.livejournal.com]

My current fav fandom is NCIS (Gibbs/Dinozzo). I started out with X-Files (Mulder/Skinner)and(Skinner/Alex) then went to Smallville (Clark/Lex), Stargate Atlantis (Sheppard/McKay), QAF (Brian/Justin). I unfortunately can barely string two coherent sentences together so I would not dream of subjecting anyone to my writing, so I depend on the great authors found on the web to feed my slash addiction.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose you read in Gossip Girl or Criminal Minds? Or Live Free or Die Hard?

*pounce*

[bratfarrar]

So, I checked off four, hit submit, and then noticed the bit where you wrote "two fandoms", but by then it was a bit late. Sorry about that. Of course only two of the four are actually in the running at the moment, so it probably won't matter anyway.

[cleito.livejournal.com]

I'm currently on a horrible Supernatural kick. Wincest and RPS. Scary.

[drlense.livejournal.com]

Heroes because I'm having SUCH a hard time finding fic I like- I've read all the Crack Van recs and liked some of them, but I feel like there have to be tons of good fics I'm missing.

It does not help that I'm joining the fandom two years late.

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

My usual rec sources are failing me on ST:Reboot and Merlin, which are incidentally the two fandoms I'm most interested in at the moment. Would be thrilled!

Though I only voted for those, I'd be interested in Due South or SGA recs as well . . . the one because I've only recently gotten interested in much fic involving RayK, and there's so much that I've no clue where to start; the other because I've been out of the fandom for about two years and am quite out of touch. ;)

Anyway, it's really lovely of you to offer, in general. :) I love recs, and the fandom I've spent most of my time in for awhile now is weirdly lacking in them.

[villeinage.livejournal.com]

Supernatural. I am now solidly Dean/Castiel, which is just bizarre to me.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

what are these shenanigans!

[clancy-s.livejournal.com]

Lurking, mainly looking for new reboot fic:

since ST 11 came out, faced with insufficient reboot Kirk/Spock I've been getting back into TOS, both the eps and the fic, in a big way.

Other fandoms: Torchwood, on hold. Almost inactive (following one author still) - BTVS. Old - X-files, Sherlock Holmes.

ST is getting almost all my attention atm.

[the-emef.livejournal.com]

So I'm a retard and didn't read properly, and my response to the poll didn't make any sense. I'm sorry :(

other recs

[thornsilver]

Deep Space Nine

[southpaw526.livejournal.com]

I'm one of those freaks weirdos who adore NCIS not for the Gibbs/DiNozzo (I see it, it just doesn't really do anything for me), but for the Tony/Tim. So.

And I too worship at the altar of winterlive. Not sure I'd rank as a priestess, but surely a congregant.

[girlnamedpixley.livejournal.com]

I will cough up significant funds for any Chuck recs you can make for me. I have exactly TWO excellent, adore-them-beyond-words, have-read-them-a-zillion-times each Chuck fics saved...and you wrote both of them. *g* Please, sir, may I have some more?

[monkey-dahdee.livejournal.com]

*delurk* As a nod to the fandom that got me into your writing, Smallville tops my list =) Remember the traumatizing snippet continuation/sequl to Somewhere I Have Never Traveled? Yes, still hoping for a resolution to that one. A HAPPY one even, but I'm not sure how that'll happen.

But I have faith in you!

And because I have somehow been sucked into it simply with ONE FIC [You'll Get There In the End (It Just Takes A While)], Star Trek Reboot.

[scrollgirl.livejournal.com]

I've read some Merlin and a handful of Star Trek Reboot, but my primary fandom right now is Stargate Atlantis (and SG-1). I am, however, McShepped out and pretty much run in the opposite direction of almost anything that looks McKay-centric. So, you know.

Half-Blood Prince is also reigniting all this HP love!

[snarkydame.livejournal.com]

It's hard to find good Chuck fic, you know? And I trust your taste.

[recarte.livejournal.com]

I can totally read directions. *facepalm* (Well, Star Trek Reboot RPS + Star Trek Reboot are sort of related, right? I chose three instead of two. =_=)

[owlrigh.livejournal.com]

Before I gafiated six years ago, I was into Stargate SG-1, mostly; also still hung around The Sentinel and Due South. Plus the anime I was into, hugely, and also sadly seeing as most of the fanfiction is really, really hideous. Your recs have now brought me into SGA and I am having seriously huge fun and happy squee at the series, which notwithstanding it not being all that great, is very fun :D

[eternalblue.livejournal.com]

I voted for American Idol RPS and Chuck, although I'd be happy with recs from just about everything else save Heroes or SGA which I haven't watched. (Not yet, at least.) I haven't really come across many good Chuck fics and I only recently fell onto the American Idol RPS bandwagon and would appreciate any recs for either.
