People randomly post on FS asking for fic recs for certain pairing or fandom sometimes and that is were I usually get recs from. Other times, I just find fic recs from secret posts. People will randomly start conversing over something and it becomes a rec thread. It’s more of a catch a rec while you can Pokémon style then general fic rec threads. So you should totally start a thread asking for fic recs/copies of fic from an author. Who was the author? We travelled in different pairing circles, but I know there was a lot of crosspollination as writers write what they wanna write pairing wise.
I keep hearing about fanfictiondownloader! I need to totally get it. Yeah, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to find a few fics from Harry Potter and a few smaller fandoms, but when I can’t find the fic it always makes me sad.
No that wasn’t it ☹ But thanks! I did find this site: http://www.jade1x2.com/Gundam.html I used to read her fic years ago. I don’t know how they’ve stood up to the test of time, but I did see a few fics with Wufei in them that aren’t 5x13. Oh and this one is one I frequented a lot: http://1x2x1.org/fiction.htm It does have the green background… but the one I was talking about was wasn’t 1x2 exclusive. It might have been lost to time. Because my OTP stands the test of time, I don’t have any 1xR fics or art. But now when she’s in fic I’m like “hey Relena” instead of “this bitch” haha.
Hey, it has a funky music video. I have no idea what it was about, but I like the owl looking all Buddha and sagely in the back. It reminds me of some flash video game or something. Like Muramasa: The Demon Blade + Final Fantasy + the Beatles + A:TLA.
Nice! Thanks for the recs! The only bands I know from what you named are Porno Graffiti as they did an OP for Naruto and I became obsessed with their songs, haha.
I still haven’t read any of Otoyomegatari yet. I’ve heard good things about it tho. Hopefully they will rerelease Emma ☺
No it’s fine. If I get asked about it now I generally can talk about it. I’m a good listener too if you need someone to talk to. I am on Pristiq. It has been helpful so far. I mean, I have found that my mood has been more elevated so I do get things done more often than naught. Side effects for me have been very vivid dreams. I have been on other meds, but they didn’t work as well. One gave me insane heart palpitations that made me feel like my heart was gonna jump out of my body. Others didn’t do anything for me at all. I know how that phase feels. I still have moments were I go “what is the point?” and just wish it would all be over. But I am trying to think more positively even if I can’t think of what is positive in my life right now. It doesn’t work most of the time, but when it does, I feel a bit better for the time being. It took me years to be able to talk about my depression even to close friends, so I get it. For me, I started talking to people about my depression because I was floundering so hard that being silent was killing me as well. Talking about depression is always a very personal choice. I can talk about it now because I feel like I need to sometimes to remind myself that I’m a bit better than I was before.
I do not condone DLing books (so you didn’t hear this from me), but there are sites that you can find books on for free. Torrent sites and such. Or sometimes googling them for a PDF file can show results as well. But like I said, I know nothing of these things.
Yeah, I don’t like that recent books make sure that a love triangle is center to the plot and world building and having a dude who isn’t a complete ass aren’t big things they need to support.
I heard that as well about her pregnancy. I don’t know either. It’s just the big fandom rumour. I don’t think Charisma ever confirmed or denied it. I guess it’s one of those things we’ll never know. And nope, not the Jasmine thing ☺
I hear that Shawn’s redeeming factor is his friend Gus as he’s awesome. Is that true? Veronica Mars is getting a film! That’s why I’m watching it now. I can’t wait for it! Yes Spartacus has lots and lots of hot, sweaty, bloody men fighting in it. It’s beautiful. Lots of sex too and male nudity, not just female which makes me happy as I believe in equal opportunity perving for all. The drama shows I rec’d aren’t for all that’s for sure, but I love them.
Yeah, I still have no idea how to communicate with people on it like you can do on DW/LJ. Reading people reblog other people’s posts and comments again and again isn’t as fun as actually interacting with someone. Holding a convo like we’re doing here seems impossible there. And there is so much stuff to surf through all the time and if people don’t tag things correctly it can turn into a nightmare.
Why do I like snarry? Oh man, a friend years ago told me about snarry after I had told her about a really bad Draco/Harry fic someone had rec’d me trying get me to ship them (Draco was a vampire and Harry was giving birth to their vampire baby on the first page. This is pre-Twilight of course). I pretty well told her snarry was disgusting and like fuck no, Snape’s a greasy ass teacher who is a total dick. Just no. She wanted to rec me fics and I wouldn’t let her as I was so turned off by it. So of course back at home, I have to search for snarry as I was sure it didn’t actually exist – or if it did, it existed in a limited capacity. So I was shocked when I found out it was insanely popular. So I clicked on a few fics, and got hooked on people’s characterizations of Snape and Harry and their interactions together. It’s not the happiest paring as they do hate each other in the books, but I love how authors explore the dynamics between them. It’s angry and lusty and full of passion and I just dig it. I like AU’s between them as well as long as Snape is still his surly self. Snape and Harry bring out the worst in each other, but in fics, they can also bring out the best. It just works for me. I don’t know if I explained myself properly, haha. Snarry is definitely an acquired taste and not liking it is totally understandable. I just love it. I guess I liked messed up pairings sometimes.
I totally think Kakashi thinks Gai is his bff. I love his annoyed “faces” that he gives Gai all the time. I think it was the beginning of the shippuden arc when Gai carried Kakashi on his back, because he used up to much chakra… my heart was full that day. I don’t know if I can put it in better words that why I love them together either (and I think you did fine btw)… I just do. They’re a comedic straight man funny man duo. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RECS!!!! I haven’t read a Gai/Kakashi fic in a while, so this is great!
My fav characters are Gai and Lee so they go good with everyone, haha. I wrote some Gai/Lee and one Lee/Sakura way back when. I am pretty sure I deleted it tho when I deleted an old journal from high school.
I am up for Angel/Cordy fic for sure! Or Spike/Angel/Cordy whatever. It’s all awesome to me. The snark would be killer between Spike and Cordy. I’m sad they never interacted in Buffy really. Angel/Cordy make great parents together. The whole gang taking care of Connor was so cute. I love Gunn/Fred so damn much. I wasn’t a Wes/Fred shipper either. Gunn and Fred were so much cuter together. For Buffy pairings: I was really into Anya/Giles for a bit. I also like all the canon couples as well. I do have fic saved for Angel/Lindsey, but I don’t know if that would be your cuppa tea (another dark paring of mine). Besides that, I don’t have much. I always wanted to read Angel fic, I just never knew where to start.
I know lots of people don’t like shipping Aang. I love him to bits tho. Man, talking to you has made me realise what depression did to my love of fics. I really didn’t read fic for a long time. I wish I had recs to pile onto you! Why do you love Sokka/Toph so much? I think they would make an adorable couple personally, but what draws you to that pairing?
I fell out with Bleach as well. Like with Naruto, there are so many eps and volumes that with my life as it fluxuates it’s been hard to keep up with such long running series. I still visit Wikipedia and read up with what’s happening to all the characters tho. And I do read the manga for Naruto once and awhile when I can.
I love Martha ♥ I loved that she was a strong career woman and that while she was in love with the Doctor, she didn’t let that blind her. I will read any recs, sexual or no. I can go with it as long as it is written well. All my feelings to Donna and how her storyline ended. She was to awesome to forget everything.
Nah, I get that. I have a tendency to ship popular ships a lot. I am boring. I will assimilate myself to become one of the masses /Star Trek fan moment. I do have rare pairs, but not many, not that I won’t read them of course. The only rare pair I have going on for me right now is Danny/Stiles from Teen Wolf. I feel so boring, haha. I love Wufei too. His backstory is so depressing. I’ll give your recs a shot. I mean I am a die hard 1x2, 3x4 shipper (my one true OTP thing coming back), but I will try and let that go.
Well Hiei/Kurama introduced me to the yaoi/slash side of fandom so I owe my fangirl depravity to them XD I found a random site with a pretty fan picture of a man and woman looking lovingly at each other, then realised it wasn’t a man and woman and never looked back. Kuwabara/Yusuke did. They’re fighting always made me laugh.
Mmm. Well what I like about Dean/Cas. Well I have learned from writing to you I like slightly dark and angsty pairings. Having said that, lots of Dean/Cas fics are not angsty or dark. They’re very friendshipy and fluffy. In the show, Castiel is written a lot in my perspective (especially early on) that he was in love with Dean. And they have a strong, but messed up friendship that is great to explore in fic. The other main pairing in Supernatural is also Dean/Sam. And while I love both boys, shipping them together is just not my cup of tea. So when Castiel came from above and he had staring matches with Dean and moments of misunderstanding and when Dean was told Castiel’s weakness was the fact that he liked him, I shipped it. I also like Crowly/Castiel, but that’s another messed up ship. Man, I feel a bit twisted realising that I ship so many darkish pairings!
They’re all longish fics. If you like them, I can dig up more ☺
They are all so lovely! I love Rue so much. She’s gorgeous. Her and Ahiru make a cute pairing as well. The icon I am using for this post is actually fanart of Princess Tutu. I do have some art of them to share… but most of it is kinda spoilery. Below is some nonspoilery (you did some lovely Rue/Ahiru so I did some groups stuff, Ahiru’s forms, and a few shippy ones):
I’m glad to hear the cat is doing well. Four kittens! Wow. I only have one, but lost my girl recently. I love kitties so much. Kittens are so adorable. It’s amazing that you’re taking care of so many cats who aren’t your own.

I really like a singer called Heather Dale. She sings about Arthurian legends and has a kinda medieval sound to her songs. Some of my favs are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny7NZPfl0l4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjiHXg_rk8w (linked to a FFVII video but it has nothing to do with FFVII.) The Flying Fox and The Hunter Gatherers is also a interesting band to listen to. This is one of there songs I was able to find on youtube with a cool vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R2YVcq3gSU Tik Tok Together is a good mix of Ke$sha and the Beatles:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOZG8zUqIPM Doctor Who on Holiday is also a fun Greenday DW mash up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAzzhJeTp-I
Nice! Thanks for the recs! The only bands I know from what you named are Porno Graffiti as they did an OP for Naruto and I became obsessed with their songs, haha.

Dean/Cas recs:
Ghost Dance: http://archiveofourown.org/works/129418/chapters/183881 Castiel takes care of Dean after the apocalypse. Spoilers season 5. I like the way this fic is written – the tone.
An Exercise in Worthless: http://archiveofourown.org/works/535676?view_adult=true AU where Dean owns a tattoo shop. Cute and a nice slow moving relationship.
The (Mostly Accidental) Courtship of Dean Winchester: http://archiveofourown.org/works/89893?view_adult=true Just cute, funny and fluffy. Smallish spoilers for s4/5.
They’re all longish fics. If you like them, I can dig up more ☺
They are all so lovely! I love Rue so much. She’s gorgeous. Her and Ahiru make a cute pairing as well. The icon I am using for this post is actually fanart of Princess Tutu. I do have some art of them to share… but most of it is kinda spoilery. Below is some nonspoilery (you did some lovely Rue/Ahiru so I did some groups stuff, Ahiru’s forms, and a few shippy ones):

Do you play any video games?
