Fic

[kellifer]

fleshflutter is having a lovely chick-flick moment over at her journal where people elect the story of theirs that most pleases them. Even if you're not a writer, it will probably be an awesome reading list when all's said and done. I'm planning on making my way through it on the weekend.

But that inspired me to wonder what stories of other people's please you? More specifically:

- What's your go-to story(s)? Those ones you have bookmarked/mem'd/have on a list somewhere and just can read over and over?

- What's that story(s) that hit you like a punch in the gut? Made you say, woah, didn't see that coming?

- What's that story that made you say, yeah, this writer just gets it - just sees the characters the way I do/wrote that story I wanted to/seemingly pried that right out of my head?

- What's that story(s) that first sucked you into a fandom/first story you read in a fandom?

I'll edit this post with my answers when I get home tonight so feel free to come on back. Also I have a loooong overdue long list of fic recs to post. That'll be another thing for tonight.

I'm not sure how to link to stories (and, damn! this post would be waaaay tooo long if I did) - so I guess I'll just stick to reccing authors the authors I revisit over and over and over...

You can always find me revisiting kimonkey7's work (my favorite has to be the addict!Dean in Good Man is Hard to Find), pdragon76's anything - but usually I start with Blind Spot, bigpink's stories (I've spent many a workday rereading Red, Dazzleland, Punxatawney Sucks, Fire in the Hole), kellifer - I love your stuff and reread it when I need a quick, hearty dose of the boyz and sometimes a chuckle, I reread dodgerwinslow's work (I even go to the favorite chapters of certain pieces of fic), I revisit gaelicspirit when I need some brotherly bonding, you can sometimes find me rereading nilchance & beanside's work for some angst and good whump, when I need some pron my go-to gal is nepthys101 - all her work gets me in the mood (which, yeah, is a little creepy but hey, whatevers works, right?)and leonidaslion - yowza - hot stuff, plus some good Dean whump! Eighthhorizon gives me wonderful AU. Kroki_refur makes me think, laugh, worry, and sometimes scratch my head - which I love!

There are just so, so many more - I know I'm forgetting people. Pretty much every friend on my list gets revisited by me more often than they know...I'm stalkerish that way.
