oooh Melimuse I am intruiged!

I never comment here because I'm a huge dork, but skk670, you can't leave us hanging! UpdateUpdateUpdate (Those are me sending you brain waves to update as soon as possible.)

Also, there are many, many great authors here and that have been recommended. I don't actually get to see VM until they are released on dvd so you guys keep me going. :) Sadiekate, thanks for the hugs recommendations page on your lj, it's going to keep me pretty busy.

So i kept telling Sadiekate and Buffyx that if I ever wrote a Rec list, they would be on it... But I figured that's a huge cop out unless I actually go ahead and make a rec list. So I've put together my 30 picks for the best fic in the fandom (and I will add to this, b/c I know I left some great ones out).

So for your procrastinating pleasure:

Marylane23's Veronica Mars Fanfic Bible


Edited because it's "your" not "you're", and I should really get more sleep before I allow myself message board access.

Aww, thanks for including me marylane! I am honored.

I fucking love fic rec posts. Makes fic reading so much easier. So thanks marylane and sadiekate!

Thanks so much for reccing me, marylane! I'm about to go scour through your list and read the ones I've somehow missed.

(Oh, and thank you even more for getting the title right-- everyone seems to think it's "Long live the rose that grew from concrete," instead of "A Rose Grows From Concrete," which I guess is what I get for originally putting that line of the poem in the subject title. D'oh.)

A Rose Grows from Concrete is one of my top 5.

Two new fics to rec, both non L/V -
know your onion! by passionflows is a good Mac/Cassidy fic that shows what *might* have happened before ANMMHE aired.

In the Still of the Night by crackopuff (rachel_shanz on LJ) is an AWESOME Trina/Aaron fic. I know, I know - it's totally creepybadwrong whatever, but it totally works! Explains so much about the Trina/Aaron dynamic. (And I'm not just saying that since the original concept was mine, heh)

So! I had a big old Marsathon last weekend and I have the urge to read smutty Duncan/Logan.

Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks for the rec Her Owlness!

WesternSkies, I wrote a short Duncan/Logan fic. They Come

Yay!!!! Marylane rec'd me. *squeeeeeeee*

And Cutiepie07, thank you so much for the kind words about Equilateral. I'm working on a few challenge fics right now (*shamelessly pimps L/V fic which will be posted on Saturday*) but as soon as they are done, I will be updating EQ.

deleted

queen haq I love your L/V fics...Church.Park.Forest and the Quickest Way to get into Hell are some of my favorites! Can't wait for you to post it :)

kur- still loving LLAED! It flows so well I cant believe it has only been one day since it started. Looking forward to the next part!

Thank you for the kind words about "Cuddling", rowanceleste and summermoon. Yes, there will be more but the story will shift now that Logan and Veronica are out of the bedroom. I’m going to add a mystery for Veronica to solve and Logan to interfere in. Writing VM mystery is what I like best but this will be a challenge for me. I have never mixed a mystery with graphic smut nor written a mystery in anything but script form.

Speaking of which, thanks for the rec, marylane23. There are several stories you recommended that I haven’t read yet, so I am very excited. Yeah for new VM fic!

Random question for marylane23: were the Prism and Violet Stories one-shots? I really enjoyed them and have been wondering if you plan on doing others.

kur, thank you so much for new LLAED! The interaction between V and Weevil at the beginning was just spot on and had me loudly gesticulating at my computer screen to help him emphasize his points. Yah, my grasp of reality is tenuous at best. Can't wait for more!

Thanks, crackopuff -- I loved that. Deliciously twisted.

I have been thinking about it. I originally wrote "Prism" as a one-shot and then got the idea for "Violet World" when I kept thinking about the plot-bunny of Veronica dying instead. Ideally someday I'd write one with a different character dying instead of Lilly (Logan, Duncan, Aaron, etc) but I've been so busy with school and my other series that I haven't found time.

So short answer: Yeah, someday. :)

Glad you enjoyed them.

Kur, that was a horrible, horrible way to end the chapter (when I say horrible, I mean really good). Hee. Can't wait for you to update!

rowanceleste, I'm so glad you enjoyed my public L/V fuck fics. They were fun to write so I'm very happy to hear people enjoyed them.

And now to shamelessly pimp myself... I've posted a new fic for the Ask Questions Later challenge. My prompt was "How to track down a fugitive."

"No..."

It's L/V and I hope you guys like it. Please let me know what you think!

Hello again, all.

Just dropping by to self-pimp. I've finally gotten around to writing a summary for the next episode of my Virtual Season II. I wrote this so people could know what happens next, even if I don't have time to write the script.

Again, any author out there at all interested in writing the actual episode, or a future episode in my Virtual Season, I would love you forever if you did. No need to stick to script format or any of my stylistic choices, but I do request you run plot decisions by me so I can keep things in line with the season mysteries.

Aaannnyyway....
Here is the (insanely long) plot summary for episode 2.5 "Broken Records".

Enjoy!


Edited because I originally said I wasn't going to post a link in the LJ communities, but as you know, I am a low-down dirty deceiver...

YuppieLawyer, Erniegirl, Cutiepie07, atropos116 and wortel, THANK YOUUU so much for all the requests for more Holding the Curve and the general love for that fic. I appreciate every comment very much and wish I could give you constant updates. :) Sadly, this crazy RL I have doesn't let me do that, so I do the best I can!

And a special shout out to both sadie kate and marylane23 for including Holding the Curve on their big ol' fic rec posts. You two are wonderfully talented writers, so getting such lovely recs from you just thrilled me. Thanks, dears!

Maybe I should have gotten this out of the way first, but no new chapter of Holding the Curve YET. But...soon. (Really.) Instead, I will distract with you this short little fic I'm here to self-pimp. Written for the Ask Questions Later Challenge on LJ, it's called If Recollecting Were Forgetting. Not easy to summarize, so check it out. :)

Thanks again!

Tiana, I love If Recollecting Were Forgetting. Beautiful.

Kimilu ~ Thanks so much! It's a bit of a departure from my other fic, but I enjoyed writing it. :)

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I wrote fic, so I came to do some self-pimpage. Both these fics are of the "5 Things That Never Happened" variety. Here they are.


What Might Have Been (G to NC-17) Ensemble
http://community.livejournal.com/veronicam...132.html#cutid1

and

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda (G to PG-13) Ensemble
http://community.livejournal.com/veronicam...027.html#cutid1

I can't remember if this WIP has been rec'd here or not, but an update went up today so I thought I'd mention it.

I highly recommend Hollow World (link is to most recent chapter, links to previous chapters are at the top). It's a dark, angsty V/L fic, and it's absolutely killing me.

(Warning: When I say dark I mean it. It's rated a hard R for violence, and deals with some very dark themes. The first couple chapters that set it up can be especially tough to read. But it's so worth it.)

Just posted my entry to the 5 Things That "Five Things That Never Happened on Veronica Mars challenge:

Four Weddings and a Funeral

Equal parts fluff and Italian food. Yup. :)

mutinousmouse: Four Weddings and a Funeral is beautiful. I love how different all of the weddings are and omg! Elvis!! Great piece. It'd be awesome if you could do a prequel with some Alicia/Logan bonding coz I think they'd hit it off pretty well

etrnlscribbler: I loved What Might Have Been - can you imagine if those 5 things happened? Omg. VM world flips upside down. Hee.

Okay and a little self pimp-age: When It Rains. Just a little L/V smut written for the You Must Remember This challenge over at the Loveathons community on lj.

Self-pimpage alert!!

Eight Words - Chapter 2 is up. Thanks to those who read and left feedback :D

Self-pimpage alert!
What would Logan and Veronica do if Logan was aquitted of all charges? An epic experiment in mixed media, with newspaper article transitions - Together Apart (written for loveathons' flashback challenge and AQL with the challenge of Securing/Spyproofing a Hotel Room)

Sigh, double post.

Self-pimp time!

Truemyth asked for some Dick/Lilly hatesex for one of my fanfic100 prompts, which was totally impossible to say no to, so I wrote it for my Ask Questions Later fic. There's also a Magic 8-Ball. Whee!

I Hate You, Baby (Fuck Me Harder)

I'm trying to get back into writing fanfic, which may prove problematic considering the fact that I haven't had time to watch the show in say, FOREVER, due to massive amounts of school work.

Is there still room out there for old-school, vague-position-on-the-timeline fic?

Hell yes. Bring it on!

And kissyboots, you in particular should be happy to know I am 7,000 words into writing an epic fic that features Weevil quite predominantly.

Sweeeeeeet. You totally just made my day.

Quick question: Anyone have a fanfic with Duncan coming back with baby Lilly yet?
Preferably where Meg's parents get arrested, or killed?

marylane, even that summary was excellent. It was the bright point in a midterm-filled week. Are you going to be posting ep summaries regularly, or waiting until each one is fleshed out into a full script before posting the next?

edited because I'm already harrassing my favorite authors...sadie kate, can we expect any Lamb100 fics soon? Because I am addicted to your Lamb/V table like nothing else.

I have been feeling the teensiest bit burned out on Lamb recently, probably because I've written 62 pieces for the Fanfic100 table. Also, I just finished an epic fic last night - seriously, 12,000 words y'all - that shall be posted once my poor beta has a chance to give it one more good read-through. So, I was planning on taking a break, but then Michael Muhney totally posted about how hot Logan is at rack_of_lamb last night, and now I'm concumed by the thoughts of Logan/Lambfic.

Short answer: I'll try to write some this weekend, but I can't make any guarantees.

Thanks for the compliment, atropos116, I'm glad I could make midterms seem less evil.

To answer your question, I'm going to go on with the summaries until the last ep of the "season", write a proper finale, then I'll consider going back and fleshing out the summaries.

Unfortunately, I've got a HUGE paper due soon and a few other big projects, so "posting regularly" might be stretching the truth a bit.

Glad you liked it, and hope I can have another one for you soon.

I just popped my Veronica Mars fic cherry with Party Girls. It was written for the "Five Things That Never Happened" challenge, and since it's my first fic, I'd be very interested in seeing what you guys have to say.

I absolutely love this board. I get all the best recs here.

Hey atropos116, remember how 12 hours ago, I was all, "Maaaaaaaaaybe I'll write some more Lambfic this weekend if I get time"?

Apparently, I got time. Hee.

Anyway, I just posted my response to the challenge at 5thingsthat, and it is Lambcentric. It even simultaneously meets 5 of the prompts for my Fanfic100 table. Check it out:

A Time To Cast Away Stones

My fic for the 5thingsthat challenge has a mission statement. "Dick gets laid. A lot."

And that's pretty much what this is, Dick having sex with everyone he comes across. Woo! (Warnings for slash and incest, because Dick does not draw the line. Oh, and there are some dark themes, because Dick may not be complicated, but he is an asshole.)

Five Asses Dick Never Tapped

ayelles, glad you liked "Four Weddings and a Funeral"! I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to write that prequel, but it is a cool idea.

*glowers at pesky other fic obligations*

;)

I have just posted my most epic fic of all time.

It is futurefic, NC-17, various permutations of Logan, Weevil and Veronica.

It is over 12,000 words long.

Please let me know wat you think - I have been slaving over this fic for two weeks. Right now, I must go and collapse.

Scattered Scars Like Constellations

TIME FOR PIMPAGE: I just finished my first Veronica Mars fanfic... well the first chapter anyway.
And Baby Makes Two
Please let me know what you think


[I absolutely love this board. I get all the best recs here.]

I totally agree

I read sadie kate's "Scattered Scars Like Constellations" and I deeply recommend it. It is fabulously written, of course, and scorching hot. Read, read, read, read!

Then, when you are done reading it, go back and read it again.

Also, anybodysfool07's "Party Girls" is intriguing. I think it should definately be read. It is one of those that you read, but it sort of sticks with you, giving birth to your more 'what if' creative side.

Thanks for the rec on "Hollow World", holly96! I was wary at first due to the warning of such violence and angst( not undeserved, to be sure), but I'm so glad I read it! It's such an amazing, truthful story and really explores the characters brillantly. Anyone who hasn't read it, read now! It rocks.

I also read "A Time to Cast Away Stones". Which is also way too good. sadie kate, your Lamb never fails to intrigue or suprise me. Just wow!

SELF-PIMPAGE ALERT! I come bearing what (I think) Is the first Corny-centric fic yet in fandom. Written for the 5 Things challenge "5 Things that Never Happened," Inequality explores the 5 drugs Corny never took. I'd love to hear your thoughts on my Corny characterization - especially since we haven't seen too much of him in canon thus far - and/or anything else you want to share. :)

Dude, this is the best return to TWoP ever! I'm so excited. sadie kate, I'm very excited about the epic fic, it looks awesome.
