Ack! Awesome people have ficced and I can't read fast enough! (And am at work, with work to do.) This is sort of rec list, I guess, though I haven't actually read them yet.

Must keep track:

Thorn in Your Side by smilla02 - Everything she writes is amazing and she hasn't ficced for a while and EEE must read NOW.

Man's Best Friend by swanseajill - I don't even care what this is about--I know she's a good writer and the title alone intrigues me.

Warmonger by minkmix - Again, don't even know what it is but I don't care. IT'S MINKMIX AND IT'S NEW AND SHINY AND I WANT TO READ IT.

Our Father, Who Art by autumn_lilacs - So she wrote this really lovely 4.10 tag with Sam trying to cheer up Dean basically by rubbing snow in his face, and Castiel and Uriel watching from the sidelines, and NOW THERE IS A SEQUEL.

Also, superbadgirl is posting a long SG-1 team fic, and goodness, sometimes I miss that fandom, especially Daniel, even though my love for Dean and Sam usually overshadows it. So I want to read that too.

My evening is planned.

Ugh, why does my muse keep waking me up early in the morning and forcing me to write? Bad timing, honey. I really need the sleep more. Oh well, at least you guys benefit from my misery.

Title: Cold and Lonely Watch
Author: Maychorian
Characters: Jack O’Neill, Dean Winchester, John Winchester
Category: Gen, Angst, Crossover

Summary: For awhile, John watched. It was the paranoid psychotic bastard in him. He wasn’t ashamed.
Word Count: 1867
Disclaimer: I own only concepts and ideas and strange, twisted trains of thought like clouds shot through with rain and sun, therefore ephemeral. And so my possession is not material and cannot be held. ::sigh:: This also means that I make no money.
Author’s Note: Sequel to “Corner of Your Eye,” but should be readable without reading that one first. I’ve been really nervous about writing John in this—that’s why it took so long. I do love him, but there’s such complexity there. I’m usually very simple.

As a newbie to the SPN fandom, I’ve been reading an awful lot. The fact is, the fanfiction in this fandom is sometimes/often better than the show itself. Show is cool, yes, but flawed and error-full and screaming for fanfic fixes. So people do. Really well.

As you do, I’ve found a few writers who are consistently excellent and appear to mostly see the characters the way I do, and write a variety of genres really well, though my preference is still heavy on the h/c and angst side, with also love for some humor and well-written action. These people might be BNFs or whatever, because they do seem to have an awful lot of friends/reviews. Do not care either way. Fact is, these people write really, really good stuff.

So yeah, here’s my list of good SPN writers. There is a high likelihood that it is very similar to a lot of other people’s lists, but that’s okay. If I can introduce you to even one good writer who you didn’t know existed before reading this, then my work is done. I may update this list occasionally. I have read a significant number of these people’s fics, enough to recommend not only a story here or there, but their entire milieu. I’ve read lots of other awesome single stories, but not enough of that particular writer to know their work as a whole.

( These people are awesome )

Locked until the pressie goes live. SHHH! Don't tell!

Unlocked now! Enjoy the fic, all you random people who haven't friended me but still read my blog. (Do you exist?)

Icon chosen because of ALL THE FREAKIN' QUESTIONS IN THIS CHAPTER! Agh. JacknDean are so suspicious, sometimes. I hope it's not boring or anything. It was harder to write than usual, partly because these guys are dab snippety stubborn and like to glare a lot and NOT TALK. ::shakes finger at recalcitrant characters:: Get along now, okay? I love you, but you can be really annoying sometimes. LIKE NOW.

And now I shall go and enjoy the fair some more. Sorry for being spammy today.

Perhaps I will slow down on this story soon. I dunno. It's kind of cool, being so excited. Writing is fun again! This pleases me.
