So you can *read* fic too?

[mrv3000]

I don't want to alarm anyone, but I might be interested in reading fic soon. No, not NOW. I don't need recs or anything yet. *swats away* It's this sort of... I have this strange feeling I might possibly be interested in thinking about reading fic in the near future. Or maybe I ate too much at lunch.

The feeling might be directed towards multi-era fic with Rose - both ship and gen. 'Cause I think those are snifty. (Except the multi-era agenda!fic where the point is to show how Rose = crap. Those are not snifty but tiresome.) And then possibly hitting some of that sacrilegious D/R reunion fic. Mmmmmm...forbidden fic...

Well, the Nyssafic has indeed been jossed all to hell by U/LotTL, but so far I'm managing to Not Care. I'm going to trot out my non-manic Jack Davenport Master with an entirely different survival story anyway. ;-P

As soon as the P.I. and vampire are done arguing and dealing with Possessed Assistant Aftermath and generally hogging all the brainspace...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm realizing that *ALL* Doctor Who fic will eventually be jossed to hell. Doesn't matter if it's a fic where the Doctor plays chess with K-9 while discussing hamsters. IT WILL BE JOSSED.

*gasp* You? Read? FIC? Say it ain't so! Who are you and what have you done with Michelle?

Heh.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It's shocking, no?

[ivydoor.livejournal.com]

It's...it's just not right. It's a world gone mad. Cats & dogs sleeping together...

LOL

Seriously though, good luck. There's a *lot* of badfic out there now. I'm sure you only have to ask and people will throw the good stuff at ya though. I've actually been thinking about putting together a fic rec post.

[earenwe.livejournal.com]

Fic rec posts are the nectar of life. Erm. Can you tell I've been reading the Illiad lately? :D

It seems to be the opposite for me; I've had a hankering to write.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure I'll need some recs when I get going again. Otherwise there will be the crying. And the posts of rage of "THE DOCTOR AND ROSE ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO DISCUSS ROSE'S PERIOD. EVER! SERIOUSLY!" Which will be accompanied by the crying.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

Let me know when you do want a rec, because there was a very recent Jackie-POV "sacrilegious D/R reunion fic" which was very snifty indeed.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Interesting! Not that I'm saying I'm interested. *nods*

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

Heh! I've been so traumatized by all the bad fic out there, I'm secretly excited that others might throw fic recs at you. :D

I've been thinking about making my own rec list, but I'm just SO picky, I have no idea if I'd even have anything to put on it.

[marble-rose.livejournal.com]

Oh, I just read that today! The one by Wendy, right? Yep, snifty.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Second person to mention all the badfic out there now. I'm getting concerned...

[ivydoor.livejournal.com]

Ha! I've actually read one that does that but it's a comfort fic more than anything else, the circumstances are really inconsequential. And it wasn't bad, believe it or not. Very sweet and in character.

But yeah. Just let me know what sort you're looking for when you are ready. I do have a ton in my memories. 60 from the Happy!Who ficathon alone.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

Yup! I really liked it.

BTW, friending you from the meme over at oh_she_knows

[ivydoor.livejournal.com]

Hee! I really should be writing. I've got the last chapter of my latest to finish and I promised another chibi!crack to jesidres.

I've been tinkering with graphics rather than living up to obligations though. :/

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

*pets* You'll be fine as long as you have native guides. However, you try to go anywhere alone and the maneating fanfic lions will get you. Sorry, that's just the way it is. ;-)

[ivydoor.livejournal.com]

Just stay away from Teaspoon and you'll be fine. That place scares me. o.0 I use it for archiving and not much else.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

Although honestly? I haven't been reading that much new fic lately myself. I've been too scared to try fanfic from people I don't recognize.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You haven't seen any good multi-era fic in the last year, have you? (Anything spring 2006-ish I've seen already.)

NOT THAT I'M READING FIC.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

Well, see, here's the thing. I thought I'd found one... and then the ending sucked beyond the telling of it. Rose couldn't travel with the Doctor anymore even though they Loooooooved each other and he still dropped by to visit occasionally. I'm sorry, as an ending? That's so very wrong.

Multi-era fic that has Rose and was written after spring 2006.

You know, for later. As I'm not really reading now.

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

Awww! Just... only read fic from by or reced by people you trust! And don't, under any circumstances, read fics where words are spelled wrong in the heading. Also, most Ten/Rose fic, which is almost uniformly out of character and written by 13-year-olds. *wise nod of a traumatized shipper*

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

If you have recommendations and/or are reading things by an author you've read before, Teaspoon is fine, much like FF.net is fine for the same reason. But if you just go wandering around in there, clicking randomly? Oh, the pain.

[ivydoor.livejournal.com]

LOL Yeah, basically the one I read he had to throw chocolate in her general direction before approaching. Heh.

Okay. I'll keep that in mind.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Well, now that you ruined the ending for me... :D

*sighs and wishes for more multi-era fic*

I'd try my hand at it, but I'm afraid it would all turn into a giant game of laser tag with Ten and Rose running off for a snog in a closet, only to be discovered by Two and Three who would proceed to have a giant argument discussion about it, before sending Sarah Jane in there to break it up as their team was LOSING. And then would come the dinosaurs.
