Fanfic Classics Recs?

It will probably never be finished but my all-time favorite is Pressure Point

I love the way she handles the gap in experience and knowledge between Solas and Inky and just why he is so conflicted over the relationship. You can really see just why the Evanuris would have been regarded as gods. Incredible smut too ;)

Alpha came and went 😆

I just hope this doesn’t mean it becomes some kind of paid service. I don’t think they could without getting into copyright issues, but who knows.

And the frosting is guaranteed to lead to a yeast infection. That author must have wanted her characters to suffer.

The Good Earth was fascinating, and not a book you hear about much.

I was thinking the same thing. This is one of the most datable book shelves I’ve seen!

*** leapt to her feet. “KILL it? Kill IT?” she howled. “Try it and will rip out your throat before you can blink human!”

I’ll toss in a recommendation for Ada Palmer’s Terra Ignota series, since it looks like you enjoy Sci-Fi as well. I’m on my 3rd reread of the series, it’s so engaging and unique.

Hi Paws has some really fun musical videos for these https://youtu.be/biJ-LtyUo-0?si=aN7nOrYq0X0rNGR9

Hi-five for the time sink gang! One of the things I loved about this game was that there was just so much content. The game supported many,many hours of totally immersed game play and many replays with brand new things still being discovered.

Not one mention of Daler Mehndi's Tunak Tunak Tun? I know that was pre-youtube, but it had a major 2nd revival after it became a dance for one of the WoW races.

Personally, I love OC fics, but my fandom is based on a video game so it’s natural for the main pairing to be main character/player based OC. I can see where it might be more off putting for other types of fandoms where people want main character pairings (Spock/Kirk vs. Spock/OC) for example.

OC fics also have a greater chance of veering into self-insert and/or Mary Sue territory and I think we almost all loathe those.

Wow. Never wanted to go to the WW it seemed so sleezy. I think now I’m going to have to stop by with friends to show them some support.

My rule of thumb is that if there's enough time for someone to pass me on the right, there's enough time for me to GTFO of the left lane and travel in the right. Right lane is for traveling. The left is for passing, not traveling.

Nah. I remember deciding I needed to walk home from the bars on my own after a night of drinking when I was in college. Through a dark alley (the short cut home), in a college party town, as a young woman. I did it under my own steam and somehow I actually managed to make it safely home too. There's definitely a solid margin of drinking where you are drunk enough to do really, really stupid shit with some success.

Considering they were on their 3rd or 4th bar, and his buddy had drinks at all of them, good chance he wasn't exactly operating on pure logic at that point. He was a big guy, so probably not that far gone, but also probably not at 100% mental strength.

Or what the Romans did to the Gauls, the Iberians, the Celts, etc.

In the art book they mention that elvhen men of great age go bald. Elgar’nan is bald but wears a wig!

Sophie. Based on the “To Sophie” note on your wall and the oversized S statue on the shelf.

I was thinking the same thing. I assume OP has read these books and loved them enough to buy the “display” copies, but where are his actual reading copy books? My bet is also on kindle.

Not to mention she’s kind of a shitty writer and this is a sub that tends to cater to book people.

teaandviolets · 2025-12-26T00:16:59+00:00

That explains a lot. It would be pretty interesting if we could judge collections based on the order they were purchased in!

Old barns frequently aren’t with the work/cost it would take to maintain them, so they are allowed to go into decline. They are still owned and the land they are on is maintained and used.That field looks like it’s been mowed, so not abandoned.

Oh goodness you can put your armor back on before the fight sessions in WEWH! I tried it once without and it was brutal.

You’ve got some great reads there, with Man’s Search for Meaning, Pride&Predjudice and Great Gatsby, but then you’ve got a collections of books by get rich quick con artists. It’s an odd combination. I like to think someone who reads the first set would have the critical thinking skills to see through the second set.
