Okay, BSG flisters--rec me your best so I can share it outside the fandom

[boomqueen]

I get to drive the crack_van for BSG fandom for March! It's a multi-fandom rec community that I have been addicted to for ages, and yours truly will get to do the rec'ing next.

This is where YOU come in. I haven't read that much outside of Kara/Lee and Kara/anyone pairings, so I'm not in a position to rec a good chunk of the good stuff about other pairings that I know is out there in BSG fic.

Rec me the very best of the best of BSG. Stuff that would convert someone who isn't already familiar with and addicted to our fandom. It can be any rating, any pairing, any length, but no incomplete WIPs.

You can see what has been rec'd to the crack_van community already here, and you can get a sense of what I'm inclined to rec from my memories here.

Ready, set, go!

Wow, that's awesome! Thank you so much! I'll definitely check these out this week before the rec'ing starts.

You rock!

[randomreader-05.livejournal.com]

Sweet, you are hardcore! That reminds me that I haven't been over to the crack_van in quite some time. Unfortunately, uh, I don't actually know enough to rec anythin.

Also, it looks like I will not finish Season 2.5 this weekend (darn coll dev presentation), so the season 3 marathon will have to move further back . ..

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Dude. SPRING BREAK. Our season 3 marathon is so on sometime during that week (you're not going out of town are you?).

Stupid presentation is eating my brain. At least I found all my bloody sources...now I just have to present them "professionally". grrrrrr.

[randomreader-05.livejournal.com]

Oooh, spring break totally works! (Of course I am not going anywhere - probably hauling ass trying to catch up on my capstone actually.) Awesome.

Eh, dude, I'm in a very zen place about the presentation. Not that I've actually gotten much accomplished, but I'm very okay with that.

[kaosmalek.livejournal.com]

I haven't read any BSG fic (gasp!shock!awe!) and I don't know what this crack van you speak of is (although it sounds disturbingly similar to some of the vehicular drug transports that used to cruise my hood over in east Austin ;). I would, however, be willing to supply you free coffee out the wazoo if you would send the rec list you are going to post there, along with any Kara/Lee, Kara/other stuff you would recommend, my way. Out the wazoo, I say. I am in need of some good fic to take my mind off of the sorry state of certain other fandoms. *tries for subtlety and fails miserably* Needless to say, that would rock like Slayer, or maybe even Dokken. ;)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Rokken like Dokken!

Dude, I will totally hook you up with the BSG fic--I know you share my love of snark and angst, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to rec to your tastes. I am SOOOOO with you on avoiding the thought of certain fandoms that are failing to rock my world properly. UGH and DOUBLE UGH.

And I have been to get coffee from you like four or five times and there's always some skinny brunette chick! WTF. I think you are sekritly hiding in the magical underworld beneath the Dobie with a lifetime supply of beer and zombie movies.

Seriously though. When are you there?

[kaosmalek.livejournal.com]

Woo-eee! I get angsty, snarky BSG fic! I have a strong feeling that you will be the perfect person to initiate me into the BSG fandom, fic-wise.

I work tues, weds, thurs, and sat's, after 1 pm. My last day is March 8 and then I will be at the theatre again full-time. You can get coffee there, too, btw.

Free coffee and angsty, snarky fic FTW!!!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Sweet! I will come visit you next week and we can commiserate about the-trainwreck-that-is-VM.

[abluegirl.livejournal.com]

I wish i could help, but i read Kara / Lee almost exclusively. I'll join crack_van though - seems like a pretty cool community. :)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with reading Kara/Lee exclusively ;) I so there with you!

Yeah, crack_van has introduced me to some really good writers and stories that are totally out of my normal fandoms--I highly recommend it.

[abluegirl.livejournal.com]

I just joined crack_van today, and noticed that they were looking for drivers for my last fandom (LOTR RPS). Actually, my last fandom was a subset of that (ViggOrli), so i can do recs for that pairing, which is actually a good thing because it is sadly underrepresented in the LOTR RPS recs posted to that community thus far. For some reason the LOTR RPS'ers tend to look down on the ViggOrli fandom and i never quite got why, and this is probably why not much ViggOrli was rec'd. :P

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I've never read any LOTR RPS, but I imagine V/O would be crazy hot! You might have to rec me some...

[abluegirl.livejournal.com]

You got me thinking about this, especially since i put my name down to drive the LOTRRPS crack van at some point. o.O Here's a list of some of the best authors and stories in the fandom. Just the tip of the iceberg really. Some of them are long multi-parts, others are relatively short. Let me know what you think! :)

By Me - written when i used the LJ name abluegirl
- In the Glowing (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=unfetteredwords&keyword=In+the+Glowing&filter=all)
- Plundered (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=unfetteredwords&keyword=Plundered+%28my+first+fic+ever%21%29&filter=all) very first fanfic i ever wrote. Not complete, not likely to be completed.

jasmineskie - she has alot of flocked fiction on her journal, but here's some public ones. Everything she has written is amazing.
- Magic Happens (http://lbes.randomramblings.net/magichappensseriesbyjassy.htm) A "how they got together" story that is very sweet and hot :)
- Snips'N'Snails (http://jasmineskie.livejournal.com/30011.html)
- To Viggo on his 41st Birthday (http://jasmineskie.livejournal.com/85340.html) and its sequel, Fitting (http://jasmineskie.livejournal.com/107242.html)

lady_razzle - everything Razzle writes is absolutely amazing, as well. She's brilliant.
- Abuse of Power (http://baby-razzle.livejournal.com/5827.html) AU, based on Sting's "Don't Stand So Close To Me"
- Cold Antiquity (http://baby-razzle.livejournal.com/5062.html#cutid1 ) Set in ancient Egypt

carynita - she renamed her journal from melacita, so fic is posted under both names
- Dreaming in Real Life (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=melafiction&keyword=DIRL&filter=all) The Ultimate Viggorli fic EVER. The amount of research that she put into this fic is staggering. There are those of us who called ourselves "True beleivers" with respect to Viggorli (as in we really really think think that they were together, and maybe still are), and this is like the gospel.
- The Center of Attention (http://carynita.livejournal.com/240320.html) - with Wentworth miller o.O

cynical_terror - EVERYTHING OMG, because she is probably one of the best writers i've come across anywhere (that's including published authors, but especially

- Unnecessary Evils (http://lbes.randomramblings.net/unnecessaryevilsbyaniandjenlynn.htm) AU where Orlando and Viggo are rockstars. Very, VERY hot. Also has accompanying artwork, here (http://lorien.elffic.com/unnecessaryevils/ - tricky front page though, there's a link to click in the paragraph to get in - don't click enter me)

lennongirl and eiren_rhovan
- Manndecker (http://lbes.fateback.com/manndeckerbyeirienandani.htm) Au where Orlando is a soccer player and Viggo is his coach. Better than it sounds. :)

Elizabeth
- Rewarded (http://lbes.fateback.com/rewardedbyelizabeth.htm) Hot kinky BDSM OMG

salixbabylon
- Educational Endeavours (http://salixbabylon.livejournal.com/255006.html#RPS - linked to 3/4 of the way down this page)

lostiawen
- Smutty Ghostbusters (http://www.planetx.org/%7Echangeling/lotrrps.html) Hilarious Crackfic :)

eruberueth, jenlynn820 and siochan
- Desert Rose (http://lbes.randomramblings.net/desertroseseriesbyerujenandsio.htm) AU where Orlando is a slave and Viggo is a Desert King.

gaird
- Shoreline (http://gairid.livejournal.com/109164.html)

chaosmanor (all of her stories are flocked, but she's pretty inclusive with the friending. they can be found linked to from her memories, or from here: http://louisdance.livejournal.com/2825.html)
- Doors
- Way Past Curious

[abluegirl.livejournal.com]

Crap, that's the wrong link for melacita's DIRL. It is actually here:
http://melafiction.livejournal.com/5780.html#cutid1

[abluegirl.livejournal.com]

Also, The Unseen Pull of the Moon (http://out-of-vogue.livejournal.com/3180.html) by vogirl78 is completely brilliant. :)

[abluegirl.livejournal.com]

Crap, that's not the one i was thinking of (though that fic by vogirl is good). I was thinking of "In a Song" by ancabell:

http://ancabell.livejournal.com/94146.html

Wasn't in my memories, so i had to go looking for it, and found the wrong one first.

Ok, i'm done now. :)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Wow! What an awesome rec list--I'll have pretty-boy fic for weeks and weeks now ;)

Thanks so much! I look forward to seeing your rec's in crack_van too!
