Hi everyone! I'm Jen and I'll be taking the van up along Euclid Avenue and beyond for The Big Bang Theory in December. Well, once I get adjusted to being on the other side of the road, that is, 'cause it feels so wrong to me! (I should also point out that I'm about as keen on driving as Sheldon, but I'll happily brave up for this worthwhile cause...) Here is the overview for those new to the show, or just want a refresher. Fandom: THE BIG BANG THEORY Pairing: Sheldon/Penny Length: Multipart, around 20k in total Author on LJ: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) htbthomasAuthor Website: fanfiction tag or at AO3Why this must be read:This is really something to treasure. Described by the author as an episode-style fic, it features the full cast to comedic perfection. The story begins with Penny thinking it might be fun to attend Comic-Con, but not entirely sure which character she should go as, and this sets off a train of events focusing on Sheldon and Penny as they are unwittingly thrown together and must deal with each other as best they can. There is a fantastic middle act in which Penny auditions for a science show and gets much more than she bargained for. I won't spoil the plot any more because it's such terrific fun; htbthomas nails the characters wonderfully, and the dialogue just snaps off the page. Terrific stuff.

Hello, this is Gummibearthief driving this particular van for the month. I apologize for the Overview not being the first post, but it's a lot longer than anticipated. I am working on it and it will be out before the month's end. Beware of randomly changing pairings! Fair warning, I don't believe it is healthy to have a OTP in this fandom since the characters are so vivid. Hope y'all enjoy!
Fandom: TRUE BLOOD
Pairing: Eric/ Sookie
Length: 243,345
Author on LJ: This author isn't on LJ
Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1741846/misscyn>MissCyn
Why this must be read:
As this is a new fandom to the 'Van I believe we should start with the staples. This fic should be read because it's a good introduction to the books the tv show is based on, which many of the authors will cross reference to, and it's a well written, engaging story to sink some teeth into.
Author's Summary:
Sookie gets a career opportunity she can't refuse.

Fandom: HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY Pairing: Arthur/Ford if you squint Length: 700 Author on LJ: unknown Author Website: their website, which has a fic index Why this must be read:I’m not really a fan of slash in this fandom for the simple reason that I just can’t see it happening. But every now and then, a fic comes along and plays with the ideas of sexuality on a larger scale than Earth as a whole can properly fathom. In a way, this is one of those fics. Set sometime between the end of Life, et al and the beginning of So Long etc, it’s a brief little look at Arthur’s state of mind whilst on prehistoric Earth, and Ford’s efforts to keep him from doing something monumentally stupid.

Fandom: The Losers Pairing: None Word Count: 6534 words Author: marvinetta Author's website: Livejournal / AO3Why this must be read:A great introduction to the Losers. Cougar joins the team and discovers there are twelve steps to becoming a Loser. He also learns that murlocks are not mascots, Jensen will happily play Starcraft II all day naked, Clay will shout down anyone for his team, and that the whole chain-of-command thing? It's more for those dicks who live on base. It's funny, tight, and a real delight. And once you've read it, you'll feel like a Loser too. Excerpt: Pooch dropped on to the couch next to Cougar and raised his glass to him. “Congrats dude, you've lasted longer with us than anyone else. Well, since we got stuck with Jensen, that is. You're a Loser now.”
“What about the list?” Cougar asked, tapping his glass against Pooch's and smiling slightly. “I'm only up to nine.”
“When we first got Jensen, the list was only eight things. We've added four things specially because of him.” Clay offered up his smile that generally only popped up when they were neck deep in enemy territory and about to do something stupid. “You live with him. You'll find out sooner rather than later.”How to Become a Loser in Twelve Easy Steps | | |

Fandom: PRIMEVAL Pairing: None. Team Gen Fic Length: 5,766 Author on LJ: lil_shepherd Author Website: None Why this must be read: This story is set in the aftermath of the last episode of Series 2. It’s hard-hitting, gritty and utterly realistic. The author’s portrayal of Lester, a pivotal character in the show in many ways, is an absolute joy. As we saw in the show itself, Lester is a pretty tough cookie, able to handle himself in a tight corner and his determination and self-control really shine through in this story. This is also a great look at the whole team in very traumatic circumstances. This way to the story... | | |

Fandom: WAREHOUSE 13 Pairing: None Length: 570 Author on LJ: jeff_morris
Why this must be read:In this hilarious letter to the Regents we may or may not find out the reasons why Pete and Myka were hired. It is how ever an excellent take on the friendship between Artie and Mrs. Fredric. I dare you not to laugh when you read it. Excerpt:"On (date redacted), Agent Nielsen was discovered dressed in Judy Garland’s “Dorothy” costume, including the ruby slippers. He had evidently painted a large section of the Warehouse floor gold and was singing “Off to See the Wizard” as he danced down his makeshift ‘yellow brick road’. "

Fandom: YOUNG WIZARDS Pairing: Gen Length: 3,833 words Author on LJ: marlexAuthor Website: None. Why this must be read:In a small bar in a port city on a random planet in the vast universe, a young human female takes a seat. From the moment she walks through the door, the bartender knows she brings with her a story, and it's not a happy one. Her name is Nita. And he's right.This fic only came out about two weeks ago, but if it doesn't become a fandom favorite, I'll eat my keyboard. It takes a look at a potential future Nita Callahan through the eyes of a spaceport bartender, and what we see isn't pleasant, but it is powerful. marlex creates not one, but two compelling original characters: the bartender, who's awesome without being at all Sueish, and the bar, whose Rust-Belt-beaten-down atmosphere plays a big part in setting us up to look at a Nita whom life has kicked around a little. Or a lot. This fic isn't happy, but it's hopeful, and you must read it. Bar Talk | | |
