rec meme: wincest

[citrus_java]

Gonna do the awesome elwarre 's meme, like the cool kids!
I can't deal with 'favorite', I just can't coose one - but I will try to go for 'very beloved'......


1 - A favorite fic featuring your OTP

And I have asked to be where no storms come by candle_beck
I can't - there are so many amazing fics and authores, and my soul and the fandom lives in so many of them so far - but THIS FIIIIIIIC

2 - A favorite fic featuring your NOTP

Sorry, it's Destiel - though I also read some Destiel, and some if pretty awesome - like this one -
Absolution by wolfling & omphalos
Adventure, and Sam is part of it too because not-romantic relationships are important too.... - nicely done


3 - A favorite genfic

So many, but The One You'll Know By by roque_clasique - I cannot believe she almost didn't post it because she was just not pleased with it enough - it is gorgeous - the heat, the nonverbal interactions yes yes yes (despite the negativeish portrayal of kid-Sam)

4 - A fic that drew you outside your comfort zone

Definitely balder12's These Clothes Don't Fit Us Right. When I read it it I was almost completely Wincest monogamous, plus it involves a trope I am literally terrified of (cause of my ways). I still loved it, it was amazing and pulled me in, and got me into kinda shipping Sastiel along the way, too!

5 - A fic that's gotten less attention than you think it deserves

Gonna stay with balder12 (sorry if this makes you uncomfortable!) - her Mystery Dance is one of the best fics of fandom - a classic

6 - A fic that made you cry




Many, but the amazing Monster by Any Other Name... by brosedshield, lavinialavender and whereupon - probably my favorite parts are - the complexity of recovery and the disconnect between paradigms of a person recovering and a person supporting them? it is beautiful and I need all the fic like that, more!


7 - A fic that made you laugh

Again, many amazing fics, but omg, ash_carpenter's Anti Kink: Non Con -
brought me so much joy - it is hilarious, and the only ever story I know that makes rape funny - so funny - for me as a survivor, ok :))
I mean - I've read a lot of scorching hot, or h/c, or recovery - but just joyously funny was amazing, meaningful and just fun :))
thank you for that if you are reading this, bb :)

8 - Your favorite trope and a fic that features it

Come on! But ok, some trope that I adore - epic canon-divergent aus for early seasons, and then just - rivkat's Only Sweeter.


Or just early season early season (I miss those so much I cried over it yesterday, I kid you not, so if you know really good fic for earlier seasons, please do send it my way) - like It doesn't mean you can explain the ocean by rageproofrock (check out applegeuse's podfic), and then there are astolat's Leader of the Pack or Worth the Wait....

9 - The weirdest fic you ever loved

Not so weird, but fleshflutter 's Incestuous Courtship, ans Astolat's hilarious Kings and Queens and Jokers, too
And badbastion's And you would be the fool - hilarious and well written and sweet

10 - Fill in the blank category because I can't think of anything else

!
RPF? Like queenklu's sweet non-au (yes please) Half the Chance to Go?

OK, there are WAY TOO ANY amazing fics that are not in this list, amazing writers not in this list!!!!

So many fics I haven't read - yay!!

And the favorite thing - I actually had it worded "The favorite" and had to go back and change it to "a favorite" when I realized how impossible of a task I was setting for myself.

Mystery Dance is so good. I don't think I've ever read a fic that deals with gender identity issues so honestly.

I'll be posting this meme to the bunker later today - would you mind if I included a link to your answers, so that we have all the fic recs in one place?

[citrusjava.livejournal.com]

Aw yay!

And yes, please please do!

Thank you for this, bb!

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

Great list, I've listened to all of candlebeck's podfics but never read the fic, I wonder what I would take away different from reading them, I really should do that sometime, they are hands down my favorite stories.

MBAON, omg, I didn't know you were reading that too....it pretty much destroys me. How are you doing that? It's one of those stories that can never be undone, I mean seriously, I will know that Sam forever.

Someone recently posted an amazing genderswap fic, it was really well done...that's vague right? Geeeze more information please. I need to scroll back and see if I can find it. In the mean time I'm gonna check out a couple of these recs :) I'm not that familiar with balder.

(Thank you for the compliments! ♥ ♥ ♥)

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you so much for mentioning Freak Camp! The aspect you name is the one we're most proud of, so YAY. (Timestamps coming up soon!)

[citrusjava.livejournal.com]

Thank you so so much for this fic, it is so very meaningful for me.
It's a fic that expresses things I have experienced or do experience and have no words for - and that is is just very meaningful....
....
I've been wanting to thank you people for it for a long time now, but just kinda felt overwhelmed trying to explain it?

Anyway,
THANK YOU.

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad we were able to bring it to fruition! Honestly, it's incredibly meaningful to me too, and I'm just happy to be able to share it with everyone. Especially for anyone who feels a personal connection to any part of it. I'd love to see your comments on the chapters!

[ash-carpenter.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you so much, honey. I'm beyond delighted that the fic worked so well for you, especially given the subject matter. I always hope that the anti-kink series can bring people laughter and happiness, so it's very good to hear :)

[citrusjava.livejournal.com]

Aw, yay {}
Some of the scorching hot fic I mentioned is also most definitely yours, I should mention!
A year after reading it, I am still not over Worthless/Worth It (and still trying to write that remix, though IDK if I could ever do it justice )

[ash-carpenter.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes, you should definitely remix it! Not that I think it's so special that it deserves remixing, but more whore!Dean is always a good thing and I will shamelessly try to prod everyone into writing it ;-)

[citrusjava.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU, again
and believe me - this is a special fic.... I haven't read anything like it before, and it introduced me to a kink of mine, and it helped me figure out some stuff about myself.... plus, it's - WHAT is this level of HOTNESS

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

Just dropping in to say that "Witching Hour" is one of the very first SPN smutfics I read and it is STILL one of my favorites. ♥

[ash-carpenter.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much!!!!!!! ♥

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Eeee, thank you for including my fic! <3

[balder12.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks for the recs! Those are two of my own favorites, too.
