Moderator post: share your recs!

[fiercelydreamed]

 People have contributed lots of great prompts for the kickoff festival that starts in a week. If you haven't checked them out recently, I recommend you go peruse them and find some inspiration. To those of you who are already working on a work in response: full steam ahead!

In the meantime, let's whet each other's appetites and share recs for gen works about sexual and gender minority characters. Fanworks and original works are both welcome. To help people navigate the comments, please put the universe(s) of the works you're recommending in the title of your comments (example: "Recs for Veronica Mars, historical RPF, and original works"). In the rec, please give us some basic information about the work: title, author, rating/content information, and maybe a short excerpt or a quick explanation of why you're recommending it. Something like:

My Name Is John Sheppard: I'm a Mathematician, by thingswithwings.* SGA, mild swearing. Reason for the rec: Guys, it's SGA + Mathnet! And queer!Rodney without that being in any way The Point of The Story or leading to mandatory makeouts.

One last favor -- when you're linking, please make sure your link doesn't lead people to bypass the header information; it's important to give people the opportunity to decide whether they want to read/view the content there.

Rec away!


*As per usual, I'm picking on someone who I hope will forgive me. Seriously, though: Mathnet!

Torchwood, Discworld

[sqbr]

Modern Love by penknife. Discworld. PG-13. A collection of drabbles about gender identity and sexuality among the dwarves of Ankh Morpork. The first and last are gen.

I know it's cheating to just search my gen bookmarks for anything Torchwood but it's a cute story:

General Wrongness in the Hub by travels_in_time Torchwood. G rated crack. I'm not sure how to rec this without ruining it, but it's short and fun.

Cool recs. By the way, "Modern Love" isn't a drabble collection, it's a short story that happens to feature multiple characters.

Huh. You know I think you're right. Which of course makes it ineligible. I think I liked it so much I was trying to repress the knowledge of it's ineligibility :) *apologises to mods for breaking the rules*

Re: Torchwood, Discworld

Eep, making this awesome story ineligible was totally not my intention. And I honestly don't think it is. It's a gen story, IMO. There are some pairings in it, but it's not primarily about romantic/sexual relationships.

HMM. Maybe. I suck at definitions.

You know what, let's say you're right, no point stressing over it now it's posted anyway.
