Self-Pimpage
To start off rec'ing stories, I think it would only be right to point you in the direction of the web pages that I maintain.
You can find my stories here: taterville
I am not the only author at taterville. Pat T., Chris P., and a few others are there, as well as artwork by Eva and Beeej and Jubie. I'm really proud of my little site and honestly think that some of the best fiction resides over there. (Can I still claim to be humble?)
It's hard to choose one story that would represent what sorts of things I write, but I think the one that sums me up pretty well is Proofing Warning: this is a Gathering Story, so some main characters are dead; however this is probably one of the most bizarre sorts of Gathering stories out there, so I'd say take a chance. Plus, there is some awesome artwork by Beeej on the page. This piece is gen-ish, and you could see slash in it if you like, but there's not necessarily any slash there either.
Chris P. is amazing and I'm really lucky to have her stories on taterville. She tends to write long, plotty stories with pitch-perfect characterizations and sprinklings of great original characters that just uplift all the regular characters. Her best known story is the novel length Phoenix Fire which is part of a series (the series part being worked on) and you can find it here: Ignifer Series This series is slash.
Pat T. writes great exciting adventure stories with heaping doses of slashy love-making in them. It's hard to choose just one of her stories to point to, but I think the stand alone Whose Love Would Follow Still is a great story to get introduced to her style of writing. I like this one because she plays around a bit with the supernatural and makes big hints about Methos' beginnings. Plus, happy ending. Niiiice.
On the listings page keep scrolling down. There are some stories written as round robins toward the very bottom and a couple other authors who have written some very good short stories, but who aren't currently writing in fandom. I shall rec these separately some other day.
