i dunno....i recently went to a library to find something to read, and decided to just randomly pick some books off the bookshelf. i chose 5 books from different genres and checked them out. all of them were awful, no exception. and i mean objectively awful, not just that i didn't find them interesting. granted, i can't remember if i've ever read a fanfic that was actually really good (publishable). but it's kind of in the nature of fanfiction, which is very indulgent.

anyway, if anybody HAS read really amazing fanfiction, i would love some recs.

I have read some really amazing fanfiction, which is why the whole the "Fanfic is crap. Read a real fucking book," sentiment burns me so bad. YMMV, but here are few fics that I think are better than some published things I've read. 

(I like sci-fi so you'll see a common theme, I think.) 

Star Trek XI (Kirk/Spock)

The Lotus Eaters by aldora89 (94k words)

Leave No Soul Behind by whochick (259k words; technically an AU)

Harry Potter

Getting the Hang of Thursdays by Hayseed ( novel length; gen-ish, Snape and Hermione-centric)

Tbh, I could rec A LOT of HP fics that are fabulous. That one is the most gen. If you are interested in Snape/Harry-- and, that part of fandom has a lot of great writers, imo-- then I can rec some more. 

The Avengers

Every Judas Loved His Jesus by Croik (130k; Loki/Steve) 

Shadow Plays by dreamlittleyo (25k; Loki/Thor) 

My SO, who used to think all fanfic was crap as well, seconds my rec of those last two. 

Earth 2

The Children of Earth and Air (71k; gen-ish, Morgan and Alonzo-centric)

An obscure fandom, but a great fic. You probably need to know the canon though.

I hope you enjoy a few of those.
