Recent "iconic" fics?

[skay210.livejournal.com]

Hello fellow QAF fic readers! I have a bit of a strange request but I'm hoping you can help!

I was a big fan of the QAF fandom "back in the day", but fell out of it for awhile and haven't really kept up with fics and the new-ish authors. I remember loving some amazing fics back in the day by authors like Allie-Quixotic, Raging Pixie, Bigboobedcanuck, Plumsuede, etc.

Obviously I can go through entries at BJfic, but I'm hoping those who have stayed more involved in the fandom over the past couple recent years can point me in the direction of some great newer fic/authors. Are there any fics that stand out to you in the last couple of years that are just absolutely WORTH THE READ that I shouldn't miss?

Only B/J pairing please :)

It's VERY funny!

Prego Stud has moved

I'm still blushing that you would think Prego Stud to be 'iconic'. Thank you sooooo much. And, just to let you know, all my stories have moved to my new website - www.kinnetikdreams.com. Thanks for the rec!

If you haven't read Xie's stories you must. She is brilliant.

[clride531.livejournal.com]

Anything by Confused_bliss over at fanfiction.net or at Midnight Whispers.

I went through this about a year ago when I got a case of nostalgia and decided to see what the QaF fandom had been up to. xie_xie_xie is one of the few decent authors still around after the show ended. She's slowed down a lot but still occasionally writes.

Since lj is pretty much dead these days, AO3 is a good source for newer fic. http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Queer%20as%20Folk%20(US)/works

I 'm not good at lincs but finding "Vamphile/Not Really Me" is well worth the effort. Unfortunately she is no longer with us and is sorely missed but her stories are among the best.

Also, everything by Gaedhal is wonderful. She was first on Across the Pond and is still keeping our boys alive on line.

[gaedhal.livejournal.com]

These are my fic link pages.

I also have pdfs for a number of the fics at my Yahoo site. Ask
and I'll add you. Fics are under "Files."

There's also Midnight Whispers. A lot of authors only write on that site, and it's my favorite to post on as well.:) Lots of pretty banners, too - LOL! http://midnightwhispers.ca/browse.php?type=recent

Most talented new-ish authors I can think of:
q_dicted
ohmyjetsabel
kachelofen

Everything they have is good. (Just be aware of warnings... may be a death fic in there...)

Oh, and I don't think of england13 as new anymore, but I guess she might be to you! "Choices" is a must-read.

You won't want to miss anything by Julesmonster (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/968581/julesmonster)! (this is a ff.net link... you can find her fics on several sites but I think that one has all of her QAF fics.)

This is the author I credit with my own return to the QAF family just 2 years ago after I stumbled upon a "The Rainbow Inn Series" (http://archiveofourown.org/series/26244) (this is an AO3 link) while looking for a crossover in a completely different fandom. (It's the perfect series for lovers of QAF, NCIS, Bones and House!) But my favorites are: "A Time of Adversity" (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7773860/1/A-Time-of-Adversity), "Amnesia" (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6010636/1/Amnesia) and "Goodbye Hello" (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6878960/1/Goodbye-Hello) (and "With This Ring" and the "Perfidy" Series and "Boomerang"... seriously, it's all worth at least one read)

I'll second the above suggestions... especially for Wren, Xie, England13, Tagsit, Vamphile (check the sidebar to download the "Brother's Keeper Series" - very long, beautifully written and complete) and Q_Dicted (but only if you dig SERIOUS angst).

I'll also add Jane2005 (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jane2005), Quinn (a series all linked together beginning with "Correspondence" (http://www.kinnetik.org/corr/) , Myrna (especially "Growing Up Kinney" (http://www.qafcaps.com/queereyes/fic/guk_01.html) and "If You Needed Me" (http://www.qafcaps.com/queereyes/fic/iynm_01.html), pretty much anything by Suzvoy (http://www.suzvoy.com/qaf/qaffic.html), Wrenlet's "Reaper Boy" (http://qafvault.com/ReaperBoy.htm) (warning: angst-fest), We_Dreamerz's "Resting Here With Me" (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=478), NoChaser (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewuser.php?uid=1149), Paeansong's "The Talisman Series" (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewseries.php?seriesid=21) (though not really finished, it's long and wonderful) and GaleandRandy (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewuser.php?uid=1413).

Umm... Can you tell I really dived back in to the deep end? Enjoy!! And don't forget the tags page here!!

Sandy

P.S. I noticed Rizabeau (http://qaf-fic.com/atp/viewuser.php?uid=348) was not mentioned but her(?) fics aren't really new... but missing them would be a tragedy!

[nochaser-12.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks for the rec, Sandy. (Nice to see my name in type, when I didn't put it there! ha!)

And I'd like to add anything by Tagsit at MW. She always (ususally) has a bit of humor woven in to offset the angst.

Roni

Tagsit has moved

[tagsit.livejournal.com]

Thank you Roni - You're such a great reader and I'm honored you would rec my stories. BTW - all my stories have moved to my new website - www.kinnetikdreams.com. Please come by and check them out.

A couple more that could be new to you and I adore:

sakesushimaki (especially "The 56th Most Common Name")
scoobygang8 (especially "The Boy From New York City," and the recently completed after a hiatus of several years squeeworthy "In Paris")

Severina's fics

[duffy-60.livejournal.com]

have you ever been to Severina2001's LJ?

Here's the addy to her QAF memories page. There's tons of individual stories, and few nano's. Gold and Silver Shines is my favorite. There's also a couple of zombie stories (multiple chapters.)

[wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com]

Please update your post to say that you got recs :)

[fandomfreak101.livejournal.com]

ebbj9891's "IN QUEST OF SOMETHING" series is a must read! It will melt your heart!!! It's perfect because she keeps adding more stories to it.
