Reader's Rec -- Humor

  • Aug. 9th, 2007 at 4:51 PM
I've been reccing a *lot* of angst lately, so I'd love to get some suggestions for humorous fic to rec.

Things to keep in mind:
-Recced stories can be any length, any fandom, and any pairing, as long as they fit the theme
-You don't need to write a review (unless you want to).  All that you need to include are title, author, and link to the story (all parts if there are more than one).

That said, have at it!

Today's Topic: Humor

Previous Topics:
Genres:
-Marriage of Convenience
-Harleqin AUs
-Homeless!fic

Fandoms:
-Long Due South AUs
-Crime Procedurals (anyone posting Bones (Boothe/Bones) or Monk (Stottlemeyer/Disher) fic gets a rec in any fandom of their choice, even if I have to acquaint myself with the fandom first)
-Due South fic (F/V would be a bonus, as I haven't read any before)

Here are some epic Naruto recs:

If you want laugh-out loud funny that's also kinda beautiful and damn poignant, I recommend The Kakashi Mission by JBMcDragon.

http://tentative.net/JBMcDragon/library/dojo/thekakashimission/index.html

She manages to create the most terrifyingly fucked-up Kakashi ever, and yet the very level of his neurosis manages to be deeply sad and hysterically funny at the same time. The rest of the Jounin are well-represented, and she mines Kakashi's backstory better than pretty much anyone else I've read.

Maldoror's Diplomatic Relations isn't so much a humour fic as it is a brilliantly written love story featuring two of the most unique characters in a fandom filled with quirky and fabulous people. It's Lee/Gaara, and Maldoror takes on both characters' canonically obsessive personalities and shows how they work. Gah. It's brilliant.

And because both Rock Lee and Sabaku no Gaara are so, so bloody insane, and even more so because of the unique ways in which their respective obsessions manifest around each other, their mutual journey is often fabulously amusing.

Really, you can't go wrong with Maldoror for anything. She's kinda like the Speranza of GW, One Piece, & Naruto. She captures the characters so well that you don't even have to have read/watched the shows to be entertained, and if you have read/watched the shows, you'll be in awe.

Labyrinthine Interlude is a fabulous and very, very funny shortish-medium length gen OP fic that could slip right into canon.

Thanks for the recs! I've recently, ahem, acquired the first thirty volumes or so of Naruto, so I'll be digging into the canon very soon (especially since it seems Naruto produces some quality fic, which is kind of unusual when you consider anime fanfic as a whole).

Glad you're enjoying the comm -- I'm really enjoying reccing (and getting recs in return:)
