My Top 50 Fanfic Recs from 2016

In this very special edition of Fic Rec Monday, I'm sharing my fifty favorite fics from the last year. Like last year, I discovered a lot of great older fics, but this list contains only fics posted or finished in 2016 (no works in progress). There are a handful of fics from the last week of 2015 for logistical reasons. Here we go: 50 fics in 16 fandoms. )

Fic Rec Monday: High School AUs for Jenny @ReadingtheEnd

Because fandom is an odd and ciruitous beast, the next installment of the Favorite Authors Project is postponed and you're getting a new rec list today! The fabulous Jenny of Reading the End, the blog and the podcast, had a guest appearance on Fangirl Happy Hour with the inimitable Renay, also of the delightful and Hugo-nominated Lady Business blog. That's...a lot of fannish awesomeness all wrapped together. Anyway! Jenny mentioned on FGHH that she loves high school AUs and because I'm such a giving person --

-- to which Jenny responded

and thus a rec list was born. Here are ten of my favorite high school AUs.

Fic Rec Monday: Favorite Authors Project: thehoyden

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 [archiveofourown.org profile] 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 [archiveofourown.org profile] 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.)

Fic Rec Monday: Fake Relationships

This week's Fic Rec Monday is all about fake dating/relationships/marriages and it's 100% Claire's fault. She quite innocently asked if I had any fake married recs and I said I'd do some digging in my bookmarks. I didn't find as many fics for her favored fandoms as I would've liked, but I did fall down an AO3 black hole, so someone should benefit from that monstrous time suck. Here are some of my favorite fake relationship fics.

My Top 50 Fanfic Recs from 2015

In this very special edition of Fic Rec Monday, I'm sharing my fifty favorite fics from the last year. 2015 was a strange year for me, fanfic reading-wise, because I wasn't consuming much in the way of visual media (which tend to be my main fandoms) and I spent a lot of time reading older fics from familiar and new-to-me fandoms. I discovered a lot of great stuff through backlist diving, but this list contains only fics posted or finished in 2015 (no works in progress). There are a handful of fics from the last two weeks of 2014 because YULETIDE. Alright, enough yammering: 50 fics in 23 fandoms. Let's go.

The 100, B99, Check Please!, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Hannibal, Harry Potter, The Hobbit/LoTR, Hockey RPF, The Hunger Games, Jurassic World, Kings, SVU, Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Martian, Marvel Comics, MCU, Miss Fisher, Scandal, Teen Wolf, Tortall, X-Men )
