getithereHey guys!
I've been watching QAF off and on for about a year now, and am through to 3x09. I'd been keeping away from fanfic for fear of spoilers, but I'm kind of itching for some Brian/Justin, so I thought "screw it".
With that said, I haven't read any fic in the fandom, so I'm not sure what the general flow of it tends to be... I suppose I'll just list a few things I like, and hope that some of you kind people may know fics that fit one or more of those categories.
1) Long. I mean Looooooongg. 30K+ is always good, but I could go for a 100K, 200K word story. (Of course, if I hate something about the plot, then even the length couldn't salvage it for me.)
2) Sex. I realize this makes me sound like a perv, but what I really mean is: it would be nice if the author wrote about sex at least once, and didn't just plot around it. (Again, I haven't read any QAF fics, and I'm sure that given the material of the show, most writers will have some sex...but I just wanted to put it out there.) And never let it be said that I don't like kinky sex scenes...so, um recommend those epic stories with random bits of pwp!
3) Jealousy. I'm a sucker for good old-fashioned jealousy.
4) Despite the above two requirements, I'm still always up for a candy-floss sweet story. And I do love humour, no matter how small the quantity.
5) AUs might be good, considering I'm still stuck in the Season 3 timeline. Perhaps that might be the way to go for me if I want to avoid spoilers.
I hope that wasn't overly long or demanding. *is sheepish*
Thanks!
ETA: I got quite a few recs, but I wouldn't mind more!

That's what I get for posting while watching Ed Schultz.
How are you, missy?
