Fanfic Recs

[thisbluespirit]

Readers with long ears and short tails may recall me going on about my fanfic rec sites,
StarCrossed (for DW crossovers) and They Do Things Differently There (for DW historical fics).

Well, I'm still posting on them and I'm really pleased with them, but I am seriously in need of finding some more decent historical fics. At the moment, I'm running through about the same five or six authors.

The authors being used repetitively are jjpor, bad_dickens, sunnyrea, jinxed_wood plus one-off stories here and there, inlcuding my own. I do have a couple longer stories I need to get around to having a look at, but there must be more out there somewhere. Anyone got any recs I can nick? (Preferably gen/teen). Mind you, what is there is all good fic. And I really like the way the categories work. (I'm so shallow and frivolous about these things!)

The crossover one is good fun, though - and after all my B7 meandering can I double rec AstroGirl's Box of Tricks? I expect you'll know it, but it's a) short and completely spoiler-free b) has a note-perfect Vila voice as well as fun with the Fourth Doctor and c) is full of lovely sly humour at the shared limitations of two shows. (If you can get DW quarry jokes, you can get B7 quarry jokes, basically...)


Also, I can look at the blog stats and see what searches bring it up (so if you Google your own fic, I can see! ;-D), who visited what posts and how many visits I've had per day. This amuses me greatly. (Heads off to find a life). Especially that the Carry On and On the Up posts have proved oddly popular. Well, Carry On, I guess, but I didn't imagine anyone other than me wanting to read my On The Up crossover.

Hey, long time, no see! :-D

I was vaguely wondering / worrying (as I trawled Teaspoon for crossovers) what had become of you. Nice to see you're still around. And while rl has to come first, I'd certainly be interested to see whatever else you come up with - you definitely don't go for the obvious, which is a refreshing thing in fan fic.

Awwww, yay, I even get a compliment! Thankee :)

Yeah, real life took over me, moving a continent and starting a new degree. But! The cold wintery London winter approaches and I'm already hiding inside most of the time, so time to see if I remember all the stories I meant to write, hehe.

So, not very much going on, then? :lol:

Good luck with everything. Rl has to come first, but yes, fic by you turning up on Teaspoon is rarely a bad thing. ;-)

(I've friended you back. I thought about it once before, but was shy. I do waffle a lot, I must warn you.)

Hehe, waffling is good! At least it's interesting waffling & great fics I don't have to start scanning through Teaspoon for! I think it's me who should warn you in advance - I use LJ as my main ranting platform. Not horribly interesting unless you're fascinated by What The Universe Has Done To Pitry This Time.

:D

Heh. Well, we can both count ourselves warned now, then, can't we?

;-)
