Rec me stuff!

[springgreen]

Now that I have an ereader, I find I've been reading more long fic than I have since probably high school.

So, rec me stuff! And feel free to rec things from around 2000 till now. I think I read a lot of long fic in Rurouni Kenshin, GWing, and XF, but I stopped after that.

I am more interested in long, gen-type stuff, particularly exploring consequences of world building or character development. I am also feeling more like reading gen, het, or femslash and generally am not interested in most of the big pairings.

Badass female characters and/or badass characters of color double plus good.

Notable fandoms I am unfamiliar with: Star Trek, SG-1, SPN, SV (what is it with the s's?), Prince of Tennis, Due South, Highlander, HikaGo, YYH, Dr. Who, pretty much all RPF, Farscape, Hetalia, non-GWing Gundam, non-X-Men Marvelverse, non-Batman-DC-verse, Inuyasha, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, DBZ, WK, and probably a lot of other stuff I forgot to mention that shows I have had my head in a ditch for the past decade.

Go forth and rec!

I've liked both of the two longest fics from this Yuletide:

I Have to See a Man About a God - Greek myth jazz-age AU, with a slightly noir-ish story. And Apollo/Dionysus bromance.

By Any Means Necessary - Vorkosiganverse, an Ivan adventure set on Barrayar a little after Diplomatic Immunity, anticipating the forthcoming Captain Vorpatril's Alliance.

I've been reading tons of fic on my e-reader, too, :D

Alas, the only fandom I am familiar with is FF7.

If you know GetBackers, you might like Opening the Way by incandescens. This is alternate ending for the series.

For Harry Potter, I like <ahref="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/386600/deadwoodpecker">Backward With Purpose and sequels by deadwoodpecker. It's a time travel story with a lot of depth.

In Naruto, you might like <ahref="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2859078/1/spying_no_jutsu">Spying no Jutsu by daniel-gudman. It has some verb tense problems, but it's fun.

Also in Naruto-- Uprooted by Orrunan. Danzo succeeds in getting Naruto into Root, but is it really a good idea?

You probably don't know Negima!, but if you do, I enjoyed this one-- Child of Mine by Ambrant Arandel. Negi looks into several alternative futures, trying to find the one that produced Chao.

In Ouran High School Host Club, I really like this one-- In the Circle of Elemental Arms by Kryssa's flute. This is an AU in which the members of the host club have elemental magic that's more powerful when worked together. I recommend it highly.

You may have heard of this one. It's Ranma 1/2 and was unfinished for a very long time but is now done. Hearts of Ice by Krista Perry.

In the Chronicles of Narnia, I highly recommend rthstewart's The Stone Gryphon series. The final third of it isn't done yet, but you can read the first two parts now. The Stone Gryphon, Part 1: Oxfordshire and The Queen Susan in Tashbaan.

I can't say for sure that you'll like any of these, but I liked them a lot, and they're nice and long.

The Magician Longs to See is a Twin Peaks/X-Files crossover, where Audrey has become an FBI agent. I think it's readable if you only know one canon? It's great anyway.

Major Pieces is a long BBC Sherlock genfic. (Full disclosure: The author is a longtime friend. But it's good!)

Hi! Paian linked to this entry.

As you're looking for gen and SG-1 is on your list, may I suggest poking round figs_sg1_rec? I don't have tags for longer fic, but try the reccer's choice tag for starters and work up from there. :)
