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.

And I don't know if I would have found badfic but I found a ficsite and I just didn't know where to start lol.

Oh, you most definitely would have found some bad fic. Hell, I've read plenty. lol I've never been in a fandom before so can't compare, but I will say that there is an enormous pool of excellent writers in this fandom.

The ones you were rec'd are all fab. Regarding Plum's BYBR, read Framed first, then begin BYBR. You are welcome to check my memories; also join [livejournal.com profile] qaf_retread. This is a rec comm and only the good stuff is rec'd. There still may be fics you won't care for (e.g, I don't read high school fics and stay away from certain AUs), but quality-wise, they're all good and a lot are truly outstanding.

Also, join [livejournal.com profile] qaf_challenges, [livejournal.com profile] qaf_drabbles, [livejournal.com profile] bj_action for more fic. Join [livejournal.com profile] qaf_coffeeclub for fun conversations. [livejournal.com profile] paddies's website Queer Eyes is an archive site and most everything on there is very good.

Another good way to find fic is to see who people have friended and then check those folks' memories to see if they have written anything. That's how I started, and I'd say at least 2/3 of the people on my flist write, or did write in the fandom at one time. Some have moved on to other fandoms now that the show is over. How lucky are you to all this incredible fic awaiting you!! :)
