Fic Rec time!

Two major recommendations -

liz_marcs has finished Living History (*sob*), if you haven't already started this story then what the hell kept you?!

Chapters 1-68 here Chapter 69 here and Chapter 70 here

Liz has also started a new story for

nwhepcat's birthday ficathon. Water Hold Me Down parts One, Two Three Four and Five

Phew!

Okay, other rec. I was hesitant to rec this one because it could go either way - it's still a WIP and I've not been reading it on the lists, only on INAP (not that I'm being snobbish about my site or anything - the story started on the lists when I was away and I've not managed to catch up yet.) I Am What I Am by M McGregor. It's a very different take on the dreaded "what if Xander dressed up as something different for Hallowe'en?" stories which have flooded the 'net over the years. This is a really intriguing story which keeps getting better and better with each new chapter. Please don't let the Hallowe'en thing put you off - it's just a CPD in this story rather than the focus.

I Am What I Am

I'd like to add my support to the recommendation of I Am What I Am.

Great, innovative story.

Re: I Am What I Am

The most recent two chapters posted on INAP made up my mind to rec it. Especially the last part with Tommy and Tammy. (trying to be vague so as not to spoil...)

Yes, it was an exceptional link (not to spoil). He's a great new talent.

Have you read Quicksilver Knight's story?

Re: I Am What I Am

Really quickly read through to chapter 4 - I like this a lot! (Plus, it almost ties in with something

cafedemonde and I were talking about for EOD so - thanks again for the rec!)

Re: I Am What I Am

It's a great story, I don't agree with one characterisation, you'll see when you get later on.

Bookmark it, read it, do what I just did and print it out and put it in a folder to go back and read again and again and again...

Lilac City

Haven't gone that far, but New's the only author who's up there with Liz IMHO.

I'm reading it at the moment. It is utterly fantastic. Hilarious and spellbinding. Unbelievably good. Read!
