Why this must be read:

My last rec. I made it to 31 recs as planned, although, admittedly they weren't actually posted one per day. I hope you enjoyed.

This is a kind of mtdi fic, as the universe curses Mark and Eduardo with headaches unless they are together. I applaud this, universe; they do need help to get fixed. Delightful dialogue and well-written, with an enjoyable Dustin, Chris and Sean to boot.

“Yeah, I came to a shareholders meeting in my boxers, once. I was really tired. I didn’t really care, but Chris was having an aneurysm, so Sean declared it No Pants Thursday and he and Dustin took their pants off, too, and got everyone else to start stripping. It was fairly terrifying in the end, I saw more of those people than I ever wanted to. But now No Pants Thursday happens every once in a while, it’s sort of a tradition.”

His stomach had dropped slightly at the mention of Sean, as it tends to do, but eventually the image of all the Facebook bigwigs sitting around a conference table in their underwear makes him giggle helplessly, and he stuffs his face in his pillow to keep from laughing louder. “God, if I’d known about No Pants Thursday, I might not have skipped all those meetings. There was never anything in the minutes about that.”

“You should come to the next one; Dustin already has his Power Rangers boxers picked out for the occasion, I know you don’t want to miss that.”

Hi, I just wanted to say that having never watched the movie, I decided to give this fandom a chance after reading your overview, and boy was I glad I did. You did a stellar job of reccing fics for it. I read it all (and enjoyed it all). So kudos and thank you, Jas Masson. A lot.

My last rec.
[livejournal.com profile] jasmasson, thank you. This has been a superb series of recs. TSN isn't a fandom I've ever done more than dip into before, but I can honestly say to you that I've either read and loved every single story you've mentioned or saved to read and expect to love. Thank you very much for taking the time to pull together all 31 entries - it's very much appreciated indeed.

I wanted to thank you for all these recs. I already was in the RPS part of this fandom but finally saw the movie this month. Excellent job reccing.

I had never even considered this fandom. I hadn't watch the movie, and until your summary showed up here I didn't know anything about it. By the end of the first week, I was checking back here religiously every morning to see what you had posted for the day and reading it before I did anything else. So thank you for choosing such wonderful stories and getting me into such a dynamic and interesting fandom. Happy New Year!

Thanks for all these recs. I didn't know about them now. I have been out of the fandom for most of last year so I can't wait to go back to read all the fics that I've missed :D

Hi! Just wanted to say that although I knew there was a fandom for it, I've never read any TSN fics until your recs, and I've enjoyed the fics very much. Thanks very much for the month of recs!

Thanks for all the recs! I've enjoyed reading them.
