Hi there.

I recently discovered QAF while reading a J2 fic that mentioned it in passing and curiosity led me to looking it up and now I simply love the show, especially B/J. I would like some "must read" recs please.

Any fics.....canon, AU, during the different seasons, post series, multi-chaptered, stand alones, Series.......anything that you consider a must read as long as the main pairing is B/J and with a happy B/J ending (unless the fic is so awesome even without a happy ending)

I would prefer (but it's not a must) no Brian or Justin romantic pairing with any of the other main characters on the show i.e Ben, Michael, Ted, Emmett, but other then that, any other character pairing goes.

I would prefer more plot to porn, not really looking for straight out pwp fics.

Does anyone know where I can download full episodes of QAF. Torrents seem to freeze my pc everytime I try :( (Mod's, if this bit is not allowed, please delete)

Thanks in advance.


ETA: Plenty recs found in comments. Thank you to everyone who posted :)

xie_xie_xie's "Only Time" series is phenomenal. It picks up where the show leaves off and is brilliantly characterized and wonderfully written. It is what happens after the last episode ends, in my eyes. All of Xie's fiction is fabulous actually. Her fic index is here (http://xie-xie-xie.insanejournal.com/51270.html) on InsaneJournal. She posts all of her fiction to LJ as well as IJ.

I also love severina2001's fics, all of suzvoy's QAF fics, and vamphile's fics. A couple of other great authors who have left the fandom but kept their fic available on their own websites are Rhiannonhero (http://www.rhiannonhero.net/rhi/QaFMain.htm) and Ethan (http://www.xhaleslowly.com/qaf/fanfic.html) (aka xhaleslowly).

There are too many fantastic writers in the QAF fandom to even come close to naming them all. The memories here are a good place browse around like sakesushimaki said and should help you figure out the kinds of fics you like.

Also, I'll recommend a community on IJ called qaf_retread (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/qaf_retread). It started out here on LJ and you can still find the old posts with recs and links at qaf_retread. The new rec posts are all posted on the IJ community though.

The QAF fandom has great writers and communities on both LJ and IJ (and many, many of us members are active both places). So if you don't have an IJ yet, I'd recommend creating one there as well. But you can read and comment over there even without an IJ account if you want because most communities and individual journals aren't locked.

Welcome to the fandom!

Hi qafanfic! Can I ask whether we're ever to see anything more of your Without a Trace story? I really enjoyed what I read and would love to read more.

[altsunthinkable.livejournal.com]

Yes. It will be completed. Someday. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I really never meant to abandon it halfway finished but... life happens, I guess. I realize it's been most of a year but I have been very busy with school. I still am but I really do want to write the rest of it. I need to find the way to make the time.

I'm happy to hear there's still someone interested after all this time!

[teatotaller.livejournal.com]

Life certainly does happen and as you are the one doing all the hard work of writing no one can hold it against you. But don't think that no one's interested anymore! I'm sure I'm not alone.

[lit-writergirl.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to add that I'm still interested also. I'll definitely be here when you do finish it. :-)

Add me as one of the people who would love to read more of that great story. I actually started watching Without a Trace and you really had the voices down.

I´m also patiently waiting for more of your wonderful story. I hope you will find the time. Hugs, Sunny

I don't usually read cross-overs, but the "Without a Trace" one was really good. I've also been hoping to see it finished.

[cloudno9.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thank you. Just coming into the QAF fandom, I wouldn't have a clue where to start and this is exactly what I was looking for. I'll check out IJ as well.

Oh, and reading the other comments..........I love Without a Trace and as QAF/WaT fic sounds interesting. I'm sure I'll hop onto your jouranl to read it.
