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!

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.

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

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

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

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. :)

- Doors
- Way Past Curious

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!
