Just like the subject line reads: I'm looking for good active WiPs. I love reading fics as they are being written!
Is anyone reading anything good at the moment. Preferably something that is being updated one a regular basis and where it at least seems like the author is gonna finish?
As long as the story is well written and has an interesting plot, I'm usually game. MPreg ain't my thing though... And I tend to get annoyed by anti-Mikey/Linds stories...
Hoping for some nice recs!
Cheers,
A
ETA: Wow! You guys are amazing! Loads of recs for good active WiPs in the comments! Thanks everyone!

Date: 2011-11-01 09:39 pm (UTC)Which series/story of besame_bj's is it that is being updated? Is it the Mirror verse? I know I started reading that one at some point and then I guess I must have gotten distracted or something cause I don't think I got very far...

Thanks!

Date: 2011-11-01 10:00 pm (UTC)I'm picky too, but mainly about the stories being well written, not so much about content (MPreg and anti-Mikey/Linds stories being the exception). The MPreg is a matter of taste I guess and as most people will warn you, I think it's usually easy to avoid if it's not your thing. But the anti-Mikey/Linds stories are what really bugs me! I hate when I start reading a fic and then suddenly the Mikey/Linds bashing will start without any warning at all...

Date: 2011-11-01 10:02 pm (UTC)The latest is called Reckoning, which is part of the Mirror verse, an alternative sequel to Dream.
It's easy to get side tracked, it's part of the reason why I've been sticking with completed works, that way I don't have to try to remember what titles I'm reading at the moment. (I have a hard enough time remembering to watch my favorite TV shows when they air!)

Date: 2011-11-02 12:24 am (UTC)O.G. Walton's Fantasy Seasons (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/OG.htm) looks like it is still being updated regulary although I haven't started reading it yet.
Also, there are some great completed & WIP's Here (http://confused-bliss.livejournal.com/tag/) by
Hope this helps...

Date: 2011-11-02 01:03 am (UTC)I can handle all kinds of AU, as long as B/J are in love or working towards that goal...
I was looking forward to reading this one day once it was complete, but I don't want to if it's just going to tear me up or squick me out.

Morrigan is so talented. :)
And Kiera has two that I'm loving, "Hello Chris" and "Unexpectations":

(Note: both of those are mpregs but don't let that scare you away.)
And of course, q_dicted's "Stronger":

Date: 2011-11-02 07:23 pm (UTC)I'll definitely try Tenebrosity (I remember seeing the banner for that one and not reading it because Randy in a beard freaks me out - probably not the best reason to skip a story though... lol)
Thanks for your recs!

Date: 2011-11-07 07:06 am (UTC)1) As others said, Predec2 has a lot of WIPs on the Midnight Whispers site and she's faithful about updating and finishing them (and a lot of great stories that have been finished). Off the top of my head, I can think of "My Heart's Desire", which focuses on some surprises regarding Brian's family (a sequel to "The Wedding Present") which can be found here: http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1678 and "Paper Hearts Killer" where Brian is a cop (hot!) and Justin is a psychic which is here: http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1685&warning=3
2) I agree with others that Cynical21's "Timeless" is also an amazing read and though she takes her time posting new chapters, it's definitely worth the wait (I have a review of this on my LJ): http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1081
3) "The Gus Diaries" by ShadowNYC which I think is still being updated since I'm pretty sure I just read a new chapter a few weeks ago -- it's a great fic told through the pov of Gus: http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/ShF/Gus.htm
4) I really like Xie's "Only Time" Series, though I don't know if it has become an abandoned WIP or not. You can find it here: http://xie-xie-xie.insanejournal.com/51270.html
5)I like "Buses and Trains" by Lupin111, which takes a supernatural approach to Brian and Justin: http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1739
6) Again, as others stated, the "Mirror" verse by besame_bj -- amazing read, I will read anything besame_bj writes. And as others said, Conzieu's new "Spin and Fall" story which I actually just found out about a few days ago and have already fallen in love with. Her other stories (though not WIPs) are amazing as well.
7) "Broken Open" by Gina Marie is a great fic -- I know you said you didn't like stories that weren't well-written, so you may have issues with this story. She's a great writer with ideas/content, but she needs a beta. However, I wasn't distracted enough not to read/continue reading, so I'd really give it a chance (I love all of her stories). Brian and Justin are both private investigators (double hot!) and work together. You can find it here: http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1174
And that's all I've got on WIPs! A lot of WIPs I've been following lately have been wrapped up. There's a lot of really awful fanfic out there, but in this fandom there's also a lot of REALLY good stuff. There are some really talented authors in this fandom and though I've mentioned a few, there's a lot more who are really talented! Hope that helps though!

Date: 2011-11-08 06:07 am (UTC)The first is called Recovery. It takes place post Season Five. Brian and Justin are in a happy relationship when Brian is hit by a street sweeper while he is out walking with Michael. The story is very lengthy and newly finished. On the last five or so chapters I got a few mistakes because all of my typing was done on the Kindle cause I have no computer. I will warn you that there is a scene that seems like rape but if u take the time to finish you will see all is not what it seems and Brian Kinney was throwing someone off a cliff. I consider this story a WIP because from time to time I revisit the personas and do what I call Recovery Snapshots.
The next one i want to rec is my new thriller Secrets. I cant tell you much for it will give away the plot. Its a remake of season four after the chicken soup scene. We learn more about why it might have been so easy for Lindz to sleep with Sam. We also learn more about a past of Brian and Lindsay and there first child. There's lots of things that come out to strengthen Brian and Justin's relationship while added other unbelievable things like murder and mental illness.
Noth of these stories can be found at midnightwhispers under the name galesgal. I cant add links right now I just realized that
