The Fanfic thread is back! Here are a few ground rules to prevent this from getting closed again:

This will mainly be a place for people to ask for links to stories or post links to stories. No discussion about the nature of fanfic in general or fanon or any of that stuff, please. And I'd appreciate it if we could keep the praise or criticism of linked stories to a minimum, because there are other places for that stuff, too. And it usually leads to several pages of comments that are little more than "great!", which is nice, but also redundant.

As far as linking goes, you can link to your own story UNLESS it's a link to your own personal site. So links to your story on fanfiction.net or something like that are fine, but to your livejournal site is considered site-pimping. Someone else can link to a story on your personal site, though.

This seems to have worked really well over in the O.C. forum, so hopefully, it'll work here as well. If you have any comments or complaints, please feel free to email me at saram@televisionwithoutpity.com.

Awesome, SaraM. I'm with that.

Here's one I've found hilarious. Talented, really inspiring!

What happens if House discovered FAN FICTION?

Appropos, 'no?

[housepiglet]

Brilliant! Many thanks for restoring it.

[EllycatinOz]

Yay! It is back!

Anyhow. I want everyone to know about PaperMoon by cryptictac. I am not she I can assure you - my LJ tag is the same as here. Go check out Ticcy's best piece.

Warning it is H/W slashy

[jfdb]

People, I have no shame and I've come for help finding a fic I read on the housefic site but has been removed since. It's called "The Paradox" and it's House/Cuddy (don't shoot!). I would love some tips on tracking it down. I've done the Google to death and come up empty. wah!

btw, very stoked to see this thread again.

[EllieJ]

It's called "The Paradox" and it's House/Cuddy (don't shoot!).

Don't be afraid. You're not the only House/Cuddy shipper out there. Could you perhaps be referring to The Paradox of Self Sacrifice? It's the only House/Cuddy fic that I've read that has "paradox" in the title. The House/Cuddy archive is temporarily down, but when it comes back you may want to check there. (I would post a link, but I think they're getting a new URL).

ETA: FF.net says that they'll be down for most of the evening, so the link may not work until after midnight PST.

Oh, EllieJ! Love! I got mad love for you over here. Thank you so much. I guess having the title wrong can really frack up your search, eh? silly me.

And this news about a whole H/C archive? whee! Thankyouthankyouthankyou.

[MissMoneyBags]

I greatly enjoyed True Love and Other Catastrophes -- I think this author just nailed Wilson's POV. The non-Wilson characters are written well too.

Also, the fic Ties and Signs has fantastic House/Wilson dialogue, although the romantic pairing in this story is, shall we say, rare.

[EllieJ]

No problem jfbd. When the Huddy archive is back up, I'll post a link here.

Surface Tension is one of my favorite House fics. It's a little piece that explores the relationship between House and his parents.

[housepiglet]

Any more good ones, anyone?

[EllieJ]

In Self Defense is a nice House/Wilson/Cuddy friendship fic.

[TrooperCam]

EllieJ I agree that is a good story. I wish it was updated more often. Another good one that looks at House Wilson Friendship is Intervention

Actually I enjoy most things by sydealus, but be warned if you print off her stories they run to the verrrrrrrrrrrry long side. Intervention is over 200 pages already.

[zelmon]

Someone over at the fanfiction.net site has found a really good basis for a HouseFic.

Isn't turnabout fair play?

It's a two-parter about what would happen if the Cottages break into House's home for a change.

[LastScorpion]

Thirding the appreciation for everything by sydedalus, and reccing a slightly House/Cameron story by maineac, rated general audiences, a tiny bit spoilery based on some promo pictures that are floating around:

Gambling

[sherlock21b]

For starters, a good fill-in fic that explores the night that "didn't suck" between Cameron and Chase during "Hunting" is Angua9's No Regrets. It's got an NC-17 rating that's deserved, so don't read it if that's not your cup of tea.

And I'll be a self-promoting author (though I'm pretty sure I'm within the rules as this isn't a site of mine) and offer up Playing for Position. It was written under my npkedit nom de plume and is a fill-in for Chase's first couple of months with House (totally gen and no Chase Sue to be found). My one caveat--it's in 2nd-person, so if that's not your thing, it'll be a tough read.

[tacit]

Loving the new fic thread! Some great recs already. I'm going to be a voice of dissent about Sy Dedalus though... Her fics are ok but not great. It seems to me that she needs a good beta to help her tighten things up a bit.

I'm a lover of good rec sites, and this is one of those I trust the most: Ship_recs. It's a good place to start if you're new to the fandom and after some House/Wilson. A lot of it was recommended on the old fic thread before it was closed, so check it out to catch up. There are a handful of stories that I hadn't come across on the other million rec sites I've perused, and the standard of writing is consistently high.

Other places to check out are, obviously, House Fanfiction Archive
and also House_Wilson on LJ and House_Slash on LJ

Yes, I'm a slasher. Why do you ask?

[tacit]

Ditto Michelle Christian for fun, nicely written filth.

[Taiga]

I second sherlock21b's self-nomination. "Playing for Position" is the best Chase-centric story I've come across.
Namaste's fiction is the holy grail, especially the epic "Tracking Time". Most focuses on House and Wilson (not slash) but she has some excellent Cuddy stories too.

[romanshoes]

Mm, Chocolate was probably written under the influence of LSD and a box of Russel Stovers'. I laughed for ages after I read it. Props to Cloak of Nettles, who, though irritating in AIM, is hilarious as many things.

[Rychki]

There's a sweet little fic over at ff.net - The Inner Child.

It's House/Chase though not slashy and very AU.

[MissMoneyBags]

Tidal Waves and Whispers made me very, very sad. It's House/Wilson centric, slashy only if you squint, but a very creative and poignant story.

Two excellent writers are pwcorgigirl and genagirl.
