I may be a rec bitch, but at least I'm fan enough to admit it

[timepiececlock]

ok... I've decided this occasional thing of monopolizing my LJ as a way to inflict B/S fanfic recommendations on all of you poor deluded souls who put me on your friends list is gonna become a habbit.

I'm a gusher by nature, see. I stumble across something I like, I fall in fan-love with it, and I proceed to gush to everyone who will listen. Buffy, when I found that. Though most non-buffy fans don't WANT to listen. at all. B/S fic, since I found that. Smashing Pumpkins, since middle school.

Of course, if you ask me its all legit because the people & stuff I gush about are always the really really good gush-worthy ones-- but then that's my opinion. And you know, since this IS my LJ, my opinion is the only one that anyone cares about. I am the law.

:snicker: Sorry, that was too easy. Anyway, where was I going with this again? Oh, right. Recs. They're gonna appear, every so often. Not like a weekly thing, but rather as I find them and subsequently proceed through the gushing/squealing phase. But I only rec really really good ones dammit! ::grabs head:: ARRGH-AAH! See, there, I'm starting to gush again. Tis embarrassing. And yet, it's what I do.

Anyway, read Half Gifts by Alice (Automated Alice on CW). It's.... it. kinda s-7, but different. and yet, not. but its go this british slang everywhere, and i don't understand a quarter of it but i love it anyway. and the the tub scene. such a great tub scene. and the watcher scene was good too, with spike yelling--awesome speech, made my heart flutter all girly-like. i like the narrative style here, because its stparce, and different.

And the page has got a pretty banner pic. :)
Anyway, that's enough gushing tonight.

I'm always happy to get good S/B fanfic recommendations. :-)

Ack! But you sent me to a fic that isn't finished! I curse you, you tease! Now I'll completely forget to go back and read the rest of the fic, if it ever gets finished, and my life will forever have this sad, small empty place where the ending of this fic would have been. Le sigh. (Oh, you can't see me, but the back of my hand is pressed dramatically to my forehead.)

I never said I wouldn't rec WIPs! ::laughing:: But fear not! Remember, gushing by nature! I'll know when this fic is updated cause the author posts at the Crumbling Walls forum, so I'll be as long as it doesn't go TOO long without being updated, I'll know when it's done, and I'll remember to mention here. And isn't it a delicious fic (that's my new favorite adjective, you know)?

'ya know, if you hadn't rec'd this so highly I wouldn't have gotten through the first chapter. I'm glad I kept reading though, once I got used to the narration it turned out to be a lovely story.

Off to CW to sing Alice some praise.

I had the same feeling, initially--- I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but at the same time something was really drawing me in. Once I got used to how to read it, I loved it madly.
