[ Panfandom Rec Meme ]

PANFANDOM REC MEME


"I ship it!"
"I want fic!"
"I want art!"
"I don't care what it is, but I want it!"
"Where's the fandom?"

Rec meme! You ask for recs, and others provide (or fill!).

Maybe there's something you'd really like to see but you can't find it. Why not ask for help? It might be out there! Or maybe there's something you really loved reading and you want someone to geek over it with. Why not rec it to someone else? Maybe they'll love it too! Who knows, someone out there might be looking for something that sounds exactly like someone you know just created.

Don't feel bad about reccing your own stuff, either. Apparently someone else wants to see it, right?

OBLIGATORY TEXTBOX (optional, dont worry):



Regular post will be up soon!

Canon rec like woah

Vorkosigan series by Lois Bujold. It's sci-fi! (Well, more like space drama, if you want to get pendantic.)

Now I'm not sure if this counts completely, but it's an aspect of the story I love to bits: the main character, Miles Vorkosigan, spent the majority of his childhood (unseen in the books) having a lot of difficulty walking, due to tetragenetic damage that make his bones brittle.

It's a sci fi novel, so he gets bone replacement therapies during childhood/young adulthood but he a) has stunted growth, so is quite short b) has a curved spine and c) there are times in the novel where certain yet un-replaced bones break. Very easily.

Later on he develops a seizure disorder.

Also he has some mental health issues? Most prominently he has a bit of trouble with a split personality during a few books, growing attached to a persona of his, and a spot or two of manic depression once in a while.

He is also the BAMFest BAMF who ever BAMFed, which is why I love these books so much. Adventures, getting the girl(s), action action action (the author has a tendency to never give it a rest, making the main almost perpetually in some really!difficult!situation! but I can forgive her, since her action is pretty awesome.) He uses his considerable intelligence (and slight unhingedness) to do fucking amazing things and aldkfjasl;dkfjwpeioj

I am literally incoherent with how much I love this series. It's varied (from mystery-type espionage plots involving a diplomat from an all-male planet looking for a disappeared shipment of ovaries, a POW camp story, government!corruption whoddunnit, romance, this is not a read-one-book-you've-read-them-all author.)
