Fanfiction Recommendations

This list was made in response to this request for post-Children of Earth stories. The request was for any good post-Children of Earth stories, but since I already had a list of fixit stories, I made this list of non-fixit stories to compliment it for the full Children of Earth experience. This list is tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:postcoenonfixit. The fixit list is tagged under storyfinder:fixit.

As usual, I've gone broad with my list, and put asterisks beside my favorites. I've also indicated the primary characters and pairings next to the links.

Flu season seems to have brought out a desire for readers to wallow in the discomfort of others. :) This list was made in response to this request for Ianto whump. It's tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:iantowhump. Not surprisingly, since the request includes a) Ianto and b) Ianto being hurt, this is another long list. I've put asterisks beside my favorites to aid the overwhelmed.

In case you're not familiar with the term "whump," it (usually) refers to hurt/comfort stories where the hurt is mostly physical, and also where the "hurt" part of the story significantly outweighs the "comfort" part. Used to be called "get" stories, if that helps.

I probably should have mentioned long before this that, while I don't put summaries and comments on these journal lists, I always include the author's summary (if provided) and sometimes add commentary on the Delicious bookmarks. One day I'll copy that stuff over here....

This list was made in response to this request for stories involving Ianto's time at Torchwood One. It's tagged on Delicious under storyfinder:iantoattorchwood1. A lot of these stories--plus a few others that I didn't list because they either didn't deal with Ianto at Torchwood One or didn't explicitly reference his time there--are tagged under torchwood1 and also under backstory:ianto.

I split this into two parts. The first part will have links to stories that take place during Ianto's time at Torchwood One. The next list will be for stories that take place afterwards, but which reference Ianto's time at Torchwood One or involve his return to Torchwood One. Most of the stories are Jack/Ianto, but I've noted stories where Ianto is paired with someone else.

I've been looking over my backlog of storyfinder lists, and there are quite a few of them. Way too many, in fact, to post as separate posts in any reasonable time frame without spamming the journal. So, I'm compromising. Following is a list of Delicious tags to all the thematic lists I've made in the last few months and haven't yet posted here, with explanations of what was asked for. I will be making posts with the full list of direct links for at least some of the longer lists, but until then this will at least get the links out there, if not as prettily. :) (If you do want the links list, which sometimes has additional notes and information, check the original request post linked with each tag.)

Also, a note about the thematic lists. As I tag stories, I try to add new stories to the appropriate storyfinder tag on Delicious, but as yet I haven't found a workable non-time-intensive way to go back and add them to the links in the older journal posts. If a list is a couple of months old, therefore, you might want to check the Delicious tag to see if I've added any new stories. You might want to check the links to the original request as well, since my list is often only one of several.

If you're interested in the rest of the thematic lists, you can find them on Delicious under the storyfinder tag, and in this journal under the torchwood finder lists tag. (Livejournal tag)

I am slowly plowing through stories from the TARDIS Big Bang. As I read, I'm tagging the stories I liked on Delicious, under the "tardisbigbang" tag. (This tag does cover stories from both rounds, although I haven't got around to wholesale tagging of Round 1.)

I've also finally cleared out the 300+ stories from the folder where I dump newly saved stories, and as a result there are quite a few new Torchwood recs up. While they're skewed towards newer stories, there's a mix of older stuff in there as well.

This is a test post.
