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!

(I tried to find a similar post but there is no such tag. The closest thing was somebody asking if some specific fanfics are in character and this is what actually gave me the idea to file such request.)

There are many fanfics out there - epic in proportions, well-written, with great plots. But I have to admit that many of them, even those considered must reads and classics - give me a feeling of OOC-ness. There's Brian - nice and affectionate in a schmoopy way, not afraid of commitment. There's Justin - pliant and a completely damsel in distress-like, letting others abuse and manipulate him. There's evil and plotting Michael that actively tries to break Justin and Brian up... No matter that according to canon!Brian, there's nothing to break up. There's even more evil Ethan, Mel and Lindsay being such bad mothers that their children have to be taken away and even though all of those plots are fun to play with, they're not very much true to the characters from the show.

So I was thinking about compiling a list of stories and authors, that could be considered QAF purists when it comes to characterization. No matter if it's a gap-filler, or an AU story, I just need something to sooth my QAF withdrawal, something that will really feel like the show.

I trust your judgement, even though I'm aware that people can feel very differently about some stories. It doesn't matter, I still want your opinion! (After a while, I'll compile your recs into a nice list and put it in this post, under the cut).

Big Damn IC!Rec List )

Does anyone have a working link or DL for Four (Not Five) Things That Never Happened to Justin Taylor by mamanda072 as it was posted on bjfic.net

I decided to try to track down as many of the QAF 'five things' that never happened (or maybe did) stories...so if somebody has already done that and there's a master list floating around, let me know about that too! Thanks!

This is what I've (& helpful commenters) found so far: *updated 28 March 2011

I was wondering if there were any fics that dealt with the bombing of Babylon. I'll take pretty much anything. Gapfillers, what-ifs, pretty much anything. The only thing I dont really want to read is the "Brian and Justin meet for the first time after the bombing at Babylon" sort of stuff. It isnt really my thing. But anything else is good. Thanks in advance.
PS. Anything is good, but I love love love deathfics, angstfics, and anything in between.

ALSO, I remember a gapfiller (not sure if it was a 5.10 or 5.11 gapfiller) where Justin checks the voicemail messages on his cell phone and hears Brian's frantic message that he left while driving to Babylon. If anyone knows what that is, I will love you!

Gapfiller found: That's Great, It Starts With An Earthquake by [livejournal.com profile] throughadoor 
A few links found.  More fics are very welcome!

I have two completely unrelated requests.

1) I want a few GOOD Brian/Michael pre-QAF fics, preferably touching on Brian being abused by his father. I want to read about from the very beginning. I know there are quite a few of these, but what are some of your favorites? I'm mostly looking for ones that aren't alternate universe, but rather something that could have happened given the series.

2) This is more for my morbid amusement, but has anyone dared to write a QAF fic based on Twilight?

308?

So I recently got two of my new friends at university into Queer as Folk and I'm at their residence almost every day watching with them. One of them is now in the middle of season 3 and I had to suffer through the Ethan-period with her. But now she's just finished 308 and watching it with her has put me in the mood for some 308 fics.
Could you guys please recommend me some good ones focused around the time Justin and Brian get back together after the Ethan-saga? I'm also interested in cute fics about Justin working at Vangard etc.

Thanks ♥

ETA:
LOTS of suggestions in the comments, thanks guys (:

Hi, 

does anyone know where I can find the lyrics for "When My Boy Walks Down The Street" by Magnetic Fields from episode 2.03? I tried several lyrics sites, but they all came up empty.  --> Found in comments, thanks to fortuna_phoenix!


The other one is a fic I read not too long ago. It's set at some point not too long after 3.08. Justin is nervous about telling his mother that he is with Brian again; however when he does, instead of trying to talk him out of it, she tells him that Brian was at the hospital every night after the bashing. It could be part of a longer one shot. I didn't find it in the memories and it's also not in flamencanyc's master list of gapfillers. I'd really like to find this again. 

Thank you for your help!


EDIT: I apparantly mixed up two stories, C'mon, C'mon and That's great, It Starts With An Earthquake, both by Throughadoor. You can find them here: http://obsessivetendencies.net/fiction/pants.html and here: http://obsessivetendencies.net/fiction/end.html

Hi everyone, 

I can't find those two fics: The first one is set just after 3.08 - Justin tells his mom that he's back with Brian and she then tells him about Brian coming to the hospital every night after the bashing. I've been looking through the memories here and skimmed through every other fic about that time, but it doesn't seem to be there and I don't know where else to look. 

The second one is even more tricky: I remember that Brian is thinking back to the prom and the way Justin smiled at him in the parking garage just before Hobbs hit him, and he's describing it as, "Forget Sunshine, he was a fucking Supernova!" or something very close to that. It feels like I've read it more than once, but I absolutely can't place it and it's driving me crazy! 

Any of that ring any bells? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. 

EDIT: The first one is Throughadoor's That's Great, It Starts With An Earthquake. It's actually set after 5.10, with Justin briefly remembering his mom's reaction to their reunion then. It's here: http://throughadoor.livejournal.com/551524.html

The second one is Name Your Wish by Visitingagain, which was on geocities and doesn't seem to be available elsewhere. Thanks ayesakara

I recently read a very nice little fic which I promptly managed to lose. I think it was post 308, certainly a reunion fic where Justin discovers that Brian had kept a drawer with a couple of mementos such as a drawing on a napkin, some smelly hair pomade and some pain pills. Does this ring any bells?

Found! The link is inside. Thank you!!
