fanfiction.net gems

[chaotic-boom.livejournal.com]

Hey guys, I've been an avid qaf fandom reader for a couple of years now, and I thought I'd read all the good stuff. Just last week, though, I came across a request for Nightvision's Bird on a Wire that was posted at fanfiction.net. I had never read that, and it was amazing! I've tended to avoid that particular archive because it is not very well organized IMO, and frankly, I've stumbled on to way too much Bad!fic there. Are there other fandom gems that I've missed because I've turned up my nose at fanfiction.net? Looking forward to your recs!

EDIT: Quite a few recs for fics I've never read! AND, I sparked a small discussion! Nifty. Keep the recs coming if you think of any, and thanks so much to those of you who responded!

It is so weird that you should post this, because this same exact thing happened to me a few days ago. I avoid that particular site as well, but when Bird on a Wire was mentioned I gave it a shot and loved it. Sorry that I don't have any recs at this time. I'll check.
Just thought it was weird.

Anything by Julesmonster. This author has posted a few stories elsewhere and I've enjoyed them and then discovered a boatload at FFN! It was a good day.

Is BIRD ON A WIRE finished? I thought someone said it wasn't at FFN.

[turtlegirl922.livejournal.com]

Yup, it's finished. It's a really good read...I highly recommend it.

I read Bird on a Wire the other day, and I too was wondering what other fabulous fics I am missing by avoiding fanfic.net. I hope you get some good recs!

Wow, I'm really glad you enjoyed BOW!
If you're interested I've got four other fics posted there - Metamorphosis, Poses, Kid Gloves & Differences. They're nowhere near as long as BOW, though.

I admit to have found a lot of bad fic's on that site too, but I persevere because of those rare little hidden gems. Wasn't sure what kind of fics you were interested in so I just gave you a few links to ones that I really enjoy on there... Hope they help =)

Aww one of those is mine! lol :) Thanks!

...two that I absolutely love on FF.Net are two stories that happen to have the same title: "Family Matters" by angelus1: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2873411/1/bFamily_b_bMatters_b And "Family Matters" by thghtlsscmng: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2746153/1/bFamily_b_bMatters_b The one by angelus1 is a short humorous story where teen Gus has to decide who will be at his HS graduation. It's also called, "It's Good to be a Kinney."

The second one is sort of an anti-Mel story where Lindsay died and Brian never got to know Gus because Mel didn't want him to. But when Gus turns 18 he decides to go find his father who is living happily with Justin and also waiting for Gus to turn 18 so he can go see him...

It's not completed, but I literally hope each day that I get a notification for a new chapter in this story, it's that good. It's angsty, but the writing is brilliant. I'm not the sort of person that's often moved by writing, but the way this person writes out what Justin's feeling is just heart-wrenching. The kinda thing people can relate to, which is a sign, to me, of perfect writing.

Slip Away by Branwen777 (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5257535/1/Slip_Away). It's my favorite that I've found on FFN.

[truehawk.livejournal.com]

I went over to Branwen77 new website and it seems that you can adopt her fics that she didn't finish. I think Slip Away is one of them but she did mention that she's extremly picky about who get's to finish her stories. She active in HP fanfic but it doesn't look like any of the QAF fanfic will be finished.
