Scales and Tales

Dear Homestuck authors:

If you are writing an all-human AU, please tag your fic with that!

Hint: tagging it with plain old "AU", or any subcategory thereof (such as "college AU") does not remove the need for a "Humanstuck" tag.

Thanks.

P.S. - I realise this is a matter of personal taste, but why do you all write so much humanstuck fic?! Your fic would be a thousand times better if it were, say, a coffee shop AU or college AU or rock band AU, or whatever, and did that without ducking out of the issues that come along with mixing two disparate cultures and species! Call me a one-trick pony, but watching humans and trolls pair up and accomplish life goals is ever so much more interesting when you don't take away two-thirds of the potential conflict before the story even starts.

Sigh.

P.P.S - Star Trek fandom, this goes for you, too. (I haven't been reading you nearly as much, lately, but that may change when/if I see the movie, so you can't hide forever!)

Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away (whoops, wrong fandom!), I promised somebody that I would collect my Kirk/Bones recs all in one big post. Mind you, this was at the height of ST:Reboot fever, for both myself and the nascent fandom -- the kinkmeme was going through a post every two days, and I was reading every story in half a dozen pairings, which meant scanning 50+ pages of comment threads per post for Relevant To My Interests prompts and fills.

When I started slogging through the folder I keep for those recs, though, I realised that this was a MUCH bigger project than I'd thought it would be. I admit it: I crumpled into a little heap of "I can't do this!" after two days of labour wherein I did not even reach the M- titles.

( 3W4DW seemed like the perfect time to dust that list off and get to work again! )

This list will be subject to updating! Not to mention there will probably be at least one more post in future, to rec the non-kinkmeme stories.


Unrelatedly, I also found my old Fullmetal Alchemist Ed/Roy recs post, and tagged it! So now people can, y'know, actually find it. "People" including me. :D
