Length: 1602 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] geeky_apple

Why this must be read:To my knowledge, this is the only fic ever written about Kendra. It's smart and silly and the idea seems like complete and utter crack until you think about it and realize it could actually work.

10:16 am Genie in a Bottle by PorcelainDoll304 (R)
Fandom: FAIRLY ODDPARENTS
Pairing: Norm the Genie/Chip Skylark
Length: 3999 words
Author on LJ: She doesn't have one.
Author Website: PorcelainDoll304@FF.Net
Why this must be read:

The characterization is brilliant. All the characters are wonderfully in character, and Porcelain did a great job at making Norm slightly idealistic without making him out of character in the process. I didn't think idealistic!Norm was possible before, but this fanfic proved me wrong.

Plus, this is simply one of the best House/Wilson friendship fics in the fandom.

12:37 pm The Lost Chord by Sam the Storyteller (G)
Fandom: LORD PETER WIMSEY
Pairing: None
Length: 1,250
Author: [livejournal.com profile] sam_storyteller
Author Website: See the 'lord peter wimsey' tag on his LJ
Why this must be read:

Another "more of" fic, this one examines Peter and Bunter's relationship through the medium of Bunter's hobby, photography. When Harriet first visits the Dowager Duchess in Busman's Honeymoon, we are told "She instantly seized on the [photographs] Peter calls 'Little Mischief' and 'The Lost Chord' and said, "'Somebody who understood him took those -- was it Bunter?'." How and why the latter photograph came to be taken, and why Harriet found it so eye-catching – these intriguing questions are addressed in this short fic, that packs a lot of punch for its size.

The darkroom was, as it were, Bunter's space and his lordship rarely visited without permission, express or implicit, but it was also a useful neutral territory. Bunter was master here, and when Lord Peter needed a friend and a crony more than a servant, here was the best place to find it.

12:54 pm Faithfully by Commander (PG)
Fandom: FAIRLY ODDPARENTS
Pairing: Cosmo/Wanda
Length: 5290 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Commander@FF.Net
Why this must be read:

Because it's a great, in character, realistic portrayal of what Wanda would have thought during Abracatrosphe, despite some of it now contradicting recent canon.

01:22 pm The Competition by serene_quill (PG-13)
Fandom: EUREKA
Pairing: Jack Carter/Tess Fontana, Tess Fontana/Allison Blake, one-sided mention of Nathan Stark/Jack Carter, Allison Blake/Jack Carter, background Nathan Stark/Tess Fontana
Length: approx. 700 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] serene_quill
Author Website: I believe [livejournal.com profile] serene_quill is her writing journal. Any separate website is unknown.
Why this must be read: I'd been looking for Allison/Tess, since I thought the femmeslash was obvious, but it was surprisingly difficult to find. This story is such an original premise and much more interesting than a reciprocal relationship would be.

Now, I want to know more about Nathan/Tess at that conference and Tess's attempt to question Jo (but, like, in a sequel, since the compactness of this story is part of its effectiveness).

"The Competition" should become a classic of Eureka fanfiction.

02:34 pm Top Billing-Astolat (T)
I'll be driving the Entourage Crackvan this month. It was last taken for a spin in early 2008 so the field is pretty fresh. Entourage is still a tiny fandom and there aren't a lot of writers, so expect multiple recs by certain authors. We may not have many, "...but what's there is 'cherce'". Most of the recs will be Vince/Eric as that's the main pairing in the fandom and also my favorite, but I'll try and mix it up as best I can.

This is the original over view here overview

and one I did for another comm. 2nd overview. I've received permission to include Entourage RPS since there's such tiny amount it can't stand on it's own. Minor overview here


Fandom: ENTOURAGE
Pairing: Vincent Chase/Eric Murphy
Length: one-shot @5k
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] astolat
Author Website: Intimations
Why this must be read:Written for Yuletide, this is one of my favorite Entourge stories by one of my favorite authors. Astolat is amazing writer in multiple fandoms and I just wish she did more Entourage fic. Several of hers were recced previously but I didn't want this one to be missed. It's fun and hot with an Eric that spends most of the fic on the tilt a whirl in a wonderful way. Add in a fabulously acerbic Ari and an aspect of Vince we rarely see and you've got this gem.

Eric looked at the bill and the neat little line of coke lying on the polished desk. This was clearly the beginning of the end, doing coke with Ari Gold on a Friday night, just so he could get i's dotted and t's crossed.

07:20 pm Sin Tetas, No Hay Paraíso by dress without sleeves (T)
Fandom: GLEE
Pairing: Rachel Berry/Noah "Puck" Puckerman
Length: 9,028
Author on LJ: Not applicable
Author Website: dress without sleeves on fanfiction.net and fictionpress.com

Why this must be read: I'm starting us off with a very sweet het fic. It has a great Puck POV and some of the best Rachel lines outside of the show ever. I love how the story stays true to the characters' motivations and their way of expressing them.
