I like reading fanfic but I recently realised I almost never read fanfic for anything but anime shows. So, since I have plenty of time at work to read and am scrapping the bottom of the barrel of anime fanfics... I decided to branch out. Of course there is SO MUCH of it that I have no idea where to start.
If you have any good fanfics that fit the following criteria, I'd be happy to hear about them!
What I'm Looking For:
No Porn: This is my one hard and fast rule. No graphic depiction or descriptions of sex acts. Innuendo and sexuality is fine, but lascivious descriptions of sex organs turns me right off.
No "Shipping": That is a story whose sole purpose is to set up character X and character Y in a romantic relationship. Especially if this runs contrary to canon (ie, turning a character gay who was not or breaking up an existing couple just so that they can get together with other characters). I'm okay with romance, but strictly as a subplot.
No Godmoding: That is, no stories wherin a character gets a significant boost in power level, competence or a significantly weird change in personality. Ie, if the story features Xander, Xander should not have superpowers, be turned into a cyborg, learn magic or suddenly decide to act like Batman (in anything but a goofy manner).
Complete/Progressing Only: I dislike reading stories that will never be finished intensely (it makes me sad when they're good). Thus. only stories that are finished or are getting regualrly updated (ie, have recieved two or more updates in the last year) please.
I'm interested primarily in Buffy and or Angel fanfiction. Also Harry Potter, Star Wars, Supernatural (TV series), Americomics (DC/Marvel etc), most fantasy novels (David Eddings, Dragonlance and so on).
I'm not interested in Stargate SG-1 fanfiction, thank you.
I like Crossover fanfiction and have no objections to Self-inserts (for obvious reasons).
Much appreciated in advance.
