FANFIC AUTHORS APPRECIATION WEEK

March 6 through March 13

Post to your LJ each day at least one of your favorite fanfic authors and why you love them, their work, and why they need more appreciation.

***

There's no way I could ever do one a day, because I'm far too disorganized for that. Having said that, here are a few of my very favorite things writers. I have chosen to concentrate on "Classic" B/A writers because a) some of the newer fans have never heard of them and b) I've haven't read B/A fic in a lot of years.

It feels alarmingly like self-pimpage for me to rec Tamara, but there you have it. :-> She makes it hurt, but it's allllll good. BtVS is just one of the several fandoms she writes in.

My crumpet. B/A-ness of a higher order. I've always said that "Tempest" was the story I wished I'd written. She's all famous and stuff in another fandom now, but we had her first. (Sekrit to Steph: Ever gonna finish "Crimson Threads"?)

Harpy | http://harpy.bitchenvy.com

Whenever I think, "What was I thinking with the whole B/A thing?", I visit Harpy's fiction. "Buffy's Diary" and the Letters series makes me remember everything in technicolor. To me, Harpy IS B/A.

Not only is Chelle one of the nicest people alive, she is a tremendous writer. And even though it's not strictly B/A, there are a few paragraphs in "Wet and Wild" that make me want to die every time I read them.

"5x5"? "A Ritual Cleansing"? Good lord. ::fans self:: She writes Wolverine/Rogue movieverse too.

Do I even need to say anything here? "Bitter Passion", "Dance Solo", "Silken Cage" ... guh. Just guh.

Talk about Classic B/A. Rebecca IS Classic B/A. A very long time ago one of my stories was a Story of the Moment at The Buffer. It thrilled me nearly to death. :->

Alex Queirolo | http://www.angelfire.com/co/alexfic/index.html

You can't get any more classic than Alex. Some of the first B/A fic I remember reading back in the day (the day being in 1997, of course).

Other less prolific writers:

swikstr | http://www.wintercircle.net/btvs.html

Zorya | http://tns.bitchenvy.com/fiction/archive_nz.html

All the Classic B/A you could ever want is at The Naughty Slayer.

There are a ton of newer? less ancient? writers that I did not mention. Many of them are on my very own flist. Damn them, the whippersnappers. :->

Wonderful list, Lex. I haven't thought of Harpy's fic in a long time, I wonder is her site still up? I wouldn't mind rereading the Letters series.

I made it on your list! Wheeee! Man, I haven't read any Buffy fic in so long. This recs list takes me back though. I may have to do a nostalgia day since I haven't read any zorya, and I really should re-read some Harpy and Alex Quierolo (and some Lex! You absolutely belong on that list yourself.)
