People wanted another one, so...
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?
TEXTBOX (optional, dont worry):
Regular post will be up at the usual time!

Re: Book series
(Anonymous) 2012-08-18 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)I sincerely hope you've already read A Song of Ice and Fire, by George RR Martin, but just in case you haven't it is massive and epic, spanning entire continents' worth of characters and plot threads. very dense, can be difficult to get into, gritty as shit, anyone can die. tv series also worth a watch. some romance, not the focus and it pretty much never ends well.
the Temeraire books by Naomi Novik are basically the Napoleonic Wars plus dragons. a winning formula by any measure. they're an addition to a country's arsenal, treated sort of like huge flying sentient Navy ships, which becomes hilarious when a bonifide British Naval Captain reluctantly acquires one. more plot, politics, action, and dragon-related shenanigans than you could shake a stick at, an epic Power Trio, excellent secondary cast, well worth a read. no real romance, serious bromance, loads and loads of friendship and loyalty.
the Dresden Files, by Jim Butcher, a little heavy on the angst at time, but some fascinating world-building, with a really solid main character and a great supporting cast of cops and pixies, faeries and REAL vampires. keep an eye out for the vanilla human mafia don tangling blind with the supernatural and damn near winning. some romance, rarely successful or lasting.
that's all I can think of off the top of my head? I hope there's something new on there.
