Fandom: WWE
Pairing: John Cena/CM Punk
Length: 3,502 words
Author on LJ: amethystrocks
Author Website: Dulcinea on AO3
Why this must be read: Because it's a short, snappy, sexy fic with spot-on characterizations and an ending that makes you go "d'aww!"
Two things you need to know about CM Punk: One -- he's Straight Edge. That means he doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs or promiscuous sex. (He's Straight Edge in 'real life', too... an example of the blurry, blurry lines between fantasy and reality in the WWE.) Two -- he never sleeps. Like, ever.
Two things you need to know about John Cena: One -- he's been having a rough couple of months. (Don't even get me started on this year's Wrestlemania.) Two -- he's a nice guy, but that doesn't mean he can't think outside the box.

Fandom: DOCTOR WHO Pairing: Doctor/Master Length: 19,660 words Author on LJ: (I really don't know... help a reccer out?) Author Website: on AO3Why this must be read:This is a fantastic story, all the more so because it is goodboots's first fanfiction and this is really coming out of the gate swinging -- I'm expecting more fabulous things from this author in the future. This story goes AU immediately after the events of The End of Time, with the Donna absorbing the Doctor's regeneration and getting her memories back and the Master being dragged onto the TARDIS rather than timelocked with the other Time Lords. Then the Master starts dying and Donna, Sally, and Martha try to figure out the mystery of why he's still hearing the drums (and crazy) and why he's dying. The answer... is surprising, and the story doesn't end there! EXCELLENT story, HIGHLY recommended.

Fandom: THE HUNGER GAMES Pairing: Johanna/Gale, Johanna/Finnick, Finnick/Annie Length: 8,790 words Author on LJ: jada_jasmineAuthor Website: None Why this must be read: Because Jada's Johanna-voice is spot on and because this story is about so much more than just Johanna, it's about being a woman in Panem, both pre- and post-revolution. Jada's prose is really...I don't think stark is the word, but it's simple in a way that makes it incredibly powerful. Just, it's a fantastic character study, and an amazing take on what happens after the dust settles. ( Excerpt: )As Far As Tales Go, This One Is Cautionary | | |

"For you for you for you I fell": A Super Junior Fandom Primer
 Super Junior is an amazing fandom willed with some absolutely fantastic fanfiction, but getting involved in it can be a little daunting—this fandom is huge and so is its canon. But don't worry! We're here to help. Disclaimer: Obviously, I don't know how much you know about Super Junior, K-pop, fandom, or RPF. Therefore, these are the assumptions I'm working with: - You like fandom, fanfiction, and at least tolerate slash.
- You're new to real people fandom (RPF), band, and K-pop fandom; you may not even really know what Super Junior is, and you definitely don't know who all the members are.
- You're a very busy person and you haven't got all day.
With that in mind, I've made some presentation choices in this guide that not everyone will find useful/need/agree with. Obviously your mileage may vary; skip over the parts that don't interest you, use the parts that do. Read the sections in any order you want. It's all good. Additional disclaimer for older SJ fans: I am not only13, I don't have any otps, I love everybody, and I'm about as neutral as you're going to get. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss something, however.*Below the cut is embedded-video-heavy, but not super image-heavy. ( Read more... ) | | |

Fandom: MAN FROM UNCLE Pairing: None - Gen Author on LJ: Not that I know of Author Website: stories can be found on dmcfansonline
Why This Must Be Read: Because it's just about the best thing ever written. Well, that may be an exaggeration, but not by much. This story has so much to offer, so many delicious scenes and just the right amount of male machismo in delightful MFU packages, that you finish up wishing it were only the beginning of a very long book. Sadly, it is not, although the preview states it was intended to be part of a novella. This hasn't been rec'd since 2006, so i feel safe in doing it again here in a bonus Saturday round of Crack Van generosity.
A little dollop of what you have to look forward to:"Rusito!" Reaching Illya, Vara caught his shoulders in both hands and drew him into an enthusiastic embrace, the stiff, male-bonding abrazo with which Spanish males everywhere greeted each other. Illya responded with more reserve, but he was clearly pleased to see what was, apparently, an old friend. Watching them, Napoleon Solo was struck once again, as he so often was, by how little he knew of where Illya went, and what he did, when he wasn't working.I have no doubt that you will enjoy reading this excellent story.
