Hm. Gotta admit that incest and RPS are *huge* squicks for me (which is why I can't seem to get into Supernatural fanfic, though I love the show). I hear they're adding a few new characters next season, though, so I have high hopes for finding an in soon!

Thanks for the rec! (Though, if you could include the titles in the future, I'd really appreciate it:)

I'm mostly in favor of it, but after accidentally reading the Melting 'Verse AU (before the author put warnings on it) has made it very hard for me to enjoy the pairing the way I used to. I have recced a Dean/Castiel fic before, though, and my co-reccer has one as well:

Thanks!

I can try, but to be honest I have over 4,000 stories in my to read folder (it's over 1 GB now) and at the moment I'm trying to read my older files (I have some in there from 2004!) You never know, though -- sometimes I get really into a fandom and/or pairing and read everything I have on it:)

In the last few days I've read The Sentinel, Jeeves & Wooster, Harry Potter, Due South, and White Collar. Plus I did some rereading for reccing purposes: Jeeves and Wooster again, The OC, Keen Eddie, and Hikaru no Go.

Starting up ER has made me vastly more organized in my reading/reccing. When I first started the comm, I had maybe a hundred files in a general, all-purpose 'to read' folder. These days my to read folder has over seventy sub folders, representing well over a hundred fandoms. Sometimes it does get a bit overwhelming:)

Actually, Harry Potter is probably the fandom I read the most these days -- there are just so *many* stories and a huge number of them are really long. Plus, some of the best written fics in fandom are from HP (admittedly, so are some of the worst, but when you've got several hundred thousand stories to choose from, you've got a lot of chances to hit something great). I think I've recced a good fifty or sixty HP fics to date.

Pairings I read in HP are Harry/Snape (I don't read this much as a romantic relationship anymore, though -- mostly mentor!fic), Harry/Draco, Hermione/Snape, and (occasionally) Albus Severus/Scorpius.

Due South -- I have to admit, my love of DS fanfic has faded quite a bit. Back in the day, that and Smallville were my only slash fandoms (and compared to Smallville, DS was pure literary gold). Now that I've seen what else is out there, I've found that many of the DS stories I loved really pale in comparison to what I've read in other fandoms. I suspect that, once I've cleaned out my to read folder for DS (around 250 stories) I'll probably exit the fandom for good.

White Collar: I personally ship Peter/Elizabeth/Neal almost exclusively (as Peter/Neal nearly always includes partner betrayal, which I just don't do). As for recs --- no comment (well, except to say that I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when we have our 1,000 readers celebration:)

I watch Merlin as background noise, because if I pay attention I'd have to shoot someone, at least in the first two-thirds of each season. Glee I usually watch while I'm writing; I enjoy the Will/Emma scenes and the musical numbers, but am not a huge fan of stereotypes or caricatures (which means I tend to find most of the characters grating).

I like Snape a lot, but I'm not a huge fan of how he's often written by fans. I like him to be scathing and witty, not cruel and frothing at the mouth. A lot of writers seem to have a tough time with that.

Smallville and Due South both have some great fic, but a lot of the most recced stories in those fandoms just can't live up to more contemporary fic (more authors equals more crap, but it also increases the potential for true classics).

My problem in White Collar is finding *long* fics. There's a lot of shorties out there, but the chances of me reading a story under 2,000 words is very slim and the chances of me reccing something that length is nearly non-existant.

I like Merlin fic when Arthur is written as he is in the latter half of each season -- a good guy with prattish tendancies (rather than a prat without redeeming qualities). Haven't had much luck with long fic in that fandom either.

Glee: I think my biggest problem with the show is that, like you, I don't like Rachel. I'm also not a fan of Sue or Terry and since the three of them combined get about 60% of the screentime for the show, it makes it hard for me to watch. (Plus, I hate that I hate nearly all of the female characters on this show. *sigh*

Psych: The show is okay, but I do think it peaked at the end of its first season. Fanfic is generally much too dark for me, though I have a handful of potential recs coming.

DC Comics: I'm too cheap to spend money on comic books:) That said, most DC characters are familiar enough that I've read at least a handful of things they're featured in. Mostly, though, I enjoy reading them in a Smallville future fic (I just can't bear Lex and Clark to hate each other).

Star Trek: I liked the new movie, but I'm even less of a fan of Kirk than I was before. Thus I'm having a tough time finding fic. Fortunately the other reccers routinely fight over who gets to rec Star Trek, so the comm shouldn't suffer:)

John/Rodney: I still like them, but right now I'm having a tough time getting into SGA stories (I go through phases like these; Highlander is another fandom I feel this way about). Still, I'm saving any new ones that show up that sound interesting and at some point I'll start reading it again.

As for TV in general, to be honest, there's very few shows I actually focus all of my attention on these days (rather than play in the background): Fringe (which has recently gotten very good), White Collar, Castle, The Closer, Leverage (when it's having a good episode). Part of it is that I just don't have the time I used to, but part of it is that there just aren't any shows on this season that have *really* grabbed me (like Veronica Mars did in its first season, or Farscape in its second). I have high hopes for next season, though -- NBC is apparently coming up with a fabulous slate of pilots.
