So, hey, friends. Long time no see. Remember that thing I was doing on Twitter, where I recommended a Star Trek fanfic rec every day for a year? Yeah. I somehow actually managed to do that. I can't believe it either. And because I love y'all so much I actually put them all in this rec post.

( 365 Star Trek Fanfic Recs -- yes, really )

It all went wrong on a Thursday afternoon when my girl Chelsea asked, 'author recs? People you read, regardless of fandom? PS: Thanks for being my human fic database.'

Admittedly, I am a good person to ask. I have a habit of picking up new fandoms by following authors, but I'm also a dangerous person to ask. For the same reason, obviously. Here's a rundown of excellent fic writers I've followed between fandoms. Note that I'm listing the fandoms I've read; most of them have written in others. (PS If any of you are reading this THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT READS.)

( hahaha this list is RIDICULOUSLY LONG )

I've meant to put together a solely Harry Potter or Harry/Draco rec list for ages and finishing my full reread of the series plus the hilarity that is The Cursed Child finally kicked me into gear. So here you go. Fifty of my favorite Harry/Draco fics. Literally none of these fics are Cursed Child compliant. Just FYI.

( you're going to have SO MUCH READING TO DO )

It's our second Fic Rec Monday in the Favorite Authors Project, where I put together a rec list with works by specific fic writers instead of by theme or fandom. This week we're talking about thehoyden, who has been writing awesomeness in all your favorite fandoms (okay, maybe not all of your favorite fandoms, but a lot of mine) for forever. They're also a semi-regular guest on the /Report, one of my favorite podcasts (coming at you with fangirl awesomeness since 2011).

I'm sharing ten of my favorite fics by thehoyden. (Keep in mind these are just my favorites. They also fic for fandoms I don't read often, like: Hikaru no Go, Naruto, Due South, Inception, etc.)

I just got back from a California vacation and two days were spent at the happiest place on Earth (Disneyland! I went to Disneyland!). In celebration of my trip I'm reccing 24 of my favorite Disney fandom fics.
( To all that come to this happy place: welcome. )

You know what's super impressive? Turning in your dissertation! Elizabeth, the evil mastermind behind the booktube channel Books and Pieces, accomplished this greatest of quests (so fiendishly difficult the document in question was dubbed Dolores after that grimmest of Harry Potter villains) last week. In a fit of celebratory fervor, I offered to put together a rec list of her choice. She asked for Agent Carter recs.

Oh, Elizabeth, how did you know about my unending love of Margaret Carter? And have I mentioned I'm still a little miffed the MCU totally missed the opportunity to give one of their heroines a cracktastic backstory? (She ran away to join the French Resistance as a teenager, fell in love with Steve, then developed amnesia so Steve could have storylines without her and she was sent home to live with her parents. SERIOUSLY.) Right. Moving on.

I'm taking a little creative license with this list request (because I am both the best and worst) and chose fics that involve Peggy being awesome. Some of these technically aren't Agent Carter recs (a few were written pre-show or don't involve show canon or are just so wildly AU I don't think they really count as AC recs), but they're all delightful. So congratulations, again, on vanquishing Dolores. May she languish in Azkaban for the rest of her days (or until you decide to publish). Here are 25 awesome!Peggy fics for your reading pleasure.
( *singing* everything is awesome! )

Why, yes, I do have even more recs for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This week's Fic Rec Monday is all about STAR WARS. Again. You can check out my first set of recs here, and 21 more beneath the cut.
( that's now how the Force works )

This week's Fic Rec Monday is all about Merlin. To be precise, it's all about the Merlin/Arthur Pendragon from the Beeb's Merlin. I'm not really sure how a show that was originally intended to be a goofy origin story playing to the ten-and-under crowd turned into a fandom juggernaut of feels and angst, but I'll certainly not complain. Here are 45 of my favorite Merlin/Arthur fics:
( I always thought you were the bravest man I ever met. )

This week's Fic Rec Monday is all about ladies. Ladies in love or lust with other ladies, to be specific. Why? Because, gentle reader, it is that greatest time of year: Femslash February. What the hell is that, you ask? Femslash February is an open challenge encouraging fandom to contribute F/F fanworks throughout the month. As a bi reader awash in a sea of fanworks with pairings that tend toward 'any two white dudes,' I'm always thrilled to see what people post throughout the month. You can check out contributions on tumblr and AO3.

I attempted to only include fics where the primary pairing is F/F (if other pairings exist or if the fic's focus isn't on the relationship), but feel free to let me know if you think I fell down on that front. I'm not a very active reader in any fandoms with a prominent F/F pairing (let's be honest, there aren't many fandoms with big F/F pairings and those fandoms tend to be small, if very dedicated). As a result, this rec list is very multifandom. I like to think that means there's a little something for anyone.

( heyyyyyyy ladies )
