Justin hurt!

[beckalooby.livejournal.com]

Hey guys, okay I'm brand new to this fandom, as in I just descovered the show this past weekend and having got through most of season 1 and 2 I'm craving some extra stuff in the line of fanfic stories! There is about a million places I see for QAF fics etc but I feel a little overwhelmed by it all and can't seem to find what I specifically want right now and then I found this place and I'm hoping you guys can help me!

So here goes-

      *Anything to do with Brian helping Justin with his recovery after the bashing. Helping him through nightmares, and crowds and touching.

      *Any AU's where Brian actually visited Justin in hospital by his bedside and not just stood outside hiding.

     *Anything where Justin is hurt, sick and so on, bonus points for protective Brian.

     *Anything where Brian accidentally hits Justin and feels so sorry for it.

     *Stories where Ethan is abusive and Brian to the rescue!

Oh and anything post s2 spoiler wise can you guys just warn me so I can put it in my 'to read later' file when I've finished the whole series.

EDIT: lots found in comments.

Hello! And welcome to the fandom! :D

You're requests would be a lot easier if you have watched through the entire series. A lot of fics you find around here will probably spoil you in some way if you haven't watched the whole series.

I can think of one story that shouldn't spoil you for anything past season 2 since you already know who Ethan is and doesn't go into the events of season 3. It's a sick!Justin fic called "If You Needed Me (http://www.queereyes.net/iynm_01.html)" by Myrna! It's a pretty lengthy fic, but it's very good and very well written! :)

Again, welcome to the fandom! :D

thank you love! and dont worry, I'll have watched the whole season in about a day or two haha, I'm actually really sad about it! why oh why was there 22 epi's in s1, 20 in 2 and only 14 in the rest! no fair!

Because the cast (Gale, Thea, Michelle, Peter and Scott) renegotiated their contracts and got raises after season 2. Then Showtime cut back the number of episodes to even out the total money. GRRR!

[beckalooby.livejournal.com]

suckage! but I won't deny those guys money, I mean they deserve it for the courage it takes to do the scenes they do because we all know the stories about how un-sexy it is to do in real life and those guys are naked a lot!

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Really? I've never heard that, like, ever, and I've been around since 2005! I just thought that it was because they'd already set the number of episodes. But then, I could be confusing that with the fact that they definitely committed to 5 seasons.

This is why I'll always love this comm, no mater what fandoms I drift away to. There's always some new little fact that comes up!

Oh, and really, they deserved those raises, don't you think?

When the show started, Sharon and Hal had separate contracts from the rest (all were for 5 years, I believe).

After Season 2, the other main original cast (Gale, Thea, Michelle, Peter and Scott) negotiated AS A GROUP for an increase (even though Gale was clearly the "bigger" star with much more screentime. But he's such a team player he stayed with friends and co-stars). They were originally being paid in the low five-figures, and the increase brought them up to mid five-figures (or so it is believed). And then Showtime cut the number of episodes. So they probably made the same per year, but their per-issue "quote" went up.

It has been discussed numerous times on LJ and IMDB over the years (I've been here since '03).

I stayed away from IMDB, I heard that it was batshit insane there, like the old SHOboards. :) I think I went to the IMDB show boards once, I ran screaming. lol

I see you left Randy out, did he negotiate with the others or did he do it separate from them?

[chadmom.livejournal.com]

AHHH! How could I forget Randy?

Yes, I believe he was part of the negotiating team.

As for IMDB, I still go on the boards. And yes, sometimes it's a cesspool. But there are tidbits of info that I get there before other sources. Now that we have Twitter and Facebook, it is less "breaking news" but still has some value, as there is no limit to the posts (a good and bad thing in itself LOL). There are trolls galore, and sometimes I just have to reply "GROW UP!" (which I did last night), but until I no longer find anything uselful, I'll stick with it. :-)

Welcome! :)

So I just realized I started reading a fic "The Things I Cannot Change" at chapter 11 (http://www.suzvoy.com/qaf/tticc11.html) (not sure how that happened, but I really haven't noticed many plot gaps...so from that point it's a great fic for what you're looking for) it's by suzvoy and here's the ch1 link http://www.suzvoy.com/qaf/tticc1.html

haven't read this one but found it in the tags:
Kinnetically Charged by SATURN
http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=458&ageconsent=ok&warning=3

there's a ton of fic in the tags...you should peruse the posts to see which interest you and/or which won't spoil post S2:

WIAH OWNS MY SOUL.

I was there for the entire thing, watched as each drabble went up, beta'd a few of them...NO ONE THROWS JUSTIN DOWN A WELL LIKE VAMP.

Well...except Myrna. lol

I don't usually see hurt guys (I'm a big SPN fan and love hurt Sam/Jared) as victims, I'm just a big sucker for the hurt and even bigger sucker for the protectiveness of older guys even if the younger needs it or not, sometimes its even sweeter if they don't need it but they get it anyway because they're loved so much! :D

Whore in a Hoody is in my top 10 all-time favorite fics! Insanely amazing and completely addictive. (When you click the link for the fic, make sure you then click the link that says "Hustler!Justin" to start at the beginning.)

The Things I Cannot Change, which someone else rec'd, is also in my top 10 :)

Welcome!!
