Seeking fics

Hi,

I'm new to QAF fandom and I hope you can help me find some good reads. I would love to read some good B/J fiction. I prefer novel length stories with a good plot and not to OOC characters. I don't mind angst but I prefer a happy ending. Can you please help a poor newbie in this fandom out cuz I have only been able to find two stories I actually like namely Omelet and Raw. (On a sidenote I prefer stories not told from a POV unlless done right.)

Thanks in advance,

Shadow

EDIT: Thanks to everyone that responded and gave me lots of links! All found within the comments. Thanks again.

Rizabeau fics are all very long! The Songs in the Key of Love series, outstanding!

You have to read the stories by Chering and Fansee.

Go into her memories to find her stories. Start with Announcements.


You must also friend Xie and read her stories. They are wonderful.

i want to second the suggestion that you join [livejournal.com profile] qaf_retread all the fics there are categorized by author, good, and completed.

there are a lot of abandoned WIPs out there.

Oooh, yes, do look at [livejournal.com profile] xie_xie_xie's stuff. I also agree with joining the LJ communities mentioned above. I started with [livejournal.com profile] qaf_retread, myself.

I also recommend checking out [livejournal.com profile] severina2001, [livejournal.com profile] mclachlan, [livejournal.com profile] flashfly and [livejournal.com profile] suzvoy, though these of course are based on my personal likes, and everyone has their opinion of what's OOC. Though [livejournal.com profile] rhiannonhero's Omelet was my very first tastes of QAF fanfic ;-)

I've got about 160 fics rec'ed in my memories (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=etharei&keyword=Recommended+Stories+-+QaF&filter=all) and while most of them are long-ish some are told from a POV. It should be easy enough to tell from the header and first paragraph, though.

Happy hunting, and welcome to the wonderful world of B/J fanfic ♥

Hi! I just found this community and was scanning around. Reading your request, I thought I'd pimp my own stories. The first is a post-513 story, A Love That Will Never Grow Old (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=bdeviled&keyword=A+Love+That+Will+Never+Grow+Old&filter=all). There's plenty of angst, but I promise a happy ending! The second is a sequel to it, Into the Sunset (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=bdeviled&keyword=Into+the+Sunset&filter=all). In my stories I strive to be strictly in character, and although they are POV, I hope they are done right! If you decide to check them out, let me know if I've succeeded (on both counts).

Regardless of whether or not you read mine, I welcome you to the fandom and hope you find lots of fics that meet your preferences!
