Major and Secondary Character Studies

[annie-eliza.livejournal.com]

A few fandom friends and I are compiling lists for a QAF fan Awards event and I was wondering if I could get recommendations from you all.

1. The first would be Major Character Studies. This would focus mainly on one major character in the QAF world (Ben, Brian, Justin, Debbie, Michael, Lindsay, Mel, Emmett, Ted, and Vic.) It would need to focus on their growth, personality, etc. It can take place before, during, or after the show.

2. The second is for secondary and "extra" characters. Same deal but I'm looking for stories that focus on the characters that we don't see as much of like Jennifer, Molly, Daphne, Carl (even though he takes a bigger role later on), Craig, Joan, Jack, Mysterious Marilyn, Todd, one of Brian's tricks. It doesn't matter really. Any secondary or extra character.

Thank you so much!

UPDATE: Recommendations down below!

Thank you so much! There are so many great ones here! I especially love This Life and A Tragedy in Three Parts. We added all of these to the list :)

I’m glad you like them :) It’s really a tribute to those brilliant authors out there and the quality of their works in the QAF fandom. And it's definitely a challenge to select just a few amazing fics among all of the other ones...

Anyway, I hope you’ll get more recs!

There was a really great story by Plumsuede about Brian's college buddy who had a child in a wheelchair and was challenged. Brian would send him magazines with pictures of men's apparel.Justin taught him how to draw. It was all from the college friend's point of view.
Sorry I can't remember the story name.

Plumsuede's Everything at Once.

Please update your post. (Just say you got some recs, or let us know what happened with your fan awards if you like :)

Thanks for reminding me! They are still in progress but we are building the initial nominations now by taking on each category. We will share the lists and make sure everyone has a chance to nominate a fic we may have forgotten before the preliminary vote.
