Because I fail at Nanowrimo Because I only got two hours of sleep last night and my brain isn't up for more than posting a rec Because someone not too long ago requested Tin Man fics and I managed to get a rec written up before the end of the year!  (And let's face it -- the only thing better than a rec is a bonus rec:)

Title: Follow the steps of the sun
Fandom: Tin Man
Pairing: Cain/Glitch, DG/Jeb
Categories: romance, fluff
Length: medium
Warnings: n/a

Review:
To celebrate the Queen and King renewing their vows, there is to be a ball. One problem -- Cain can't dance.

Sometimes you just want a sweet, romantic ball of fluff and this one is particularly well done. DG and Jeb are cute, Cain is wonderfully drawn, and the dancing is even romantic enough to satisfy me. The best part of the story, however, is Glitch/Ambrose. Tin Man authors vary widely in their interpretitation of Glitch post re-brainifying, but I think greenspine does the best job of coming up with a happy medium between the barely-functional Glitch and the relentlessly competent Ambrose and I just want to hug him (even though I'd trust him with projects that would make Glitch cry in frustration). A lovely, lyrical fic.

I've just seen Tin Man for the first time (and loved it so much I've ordered the DVD) so I'm really glad to find out there's plenty of fic around! Thanks for this rec, I'll definitely check out the fic. Do you know of any others I should check out?

You might want to check out [livejournal.com profile] thegraygale, which is Tin Man's rec comm. It's not been terribly active of late, but there are a lot of fics recced there.

Other than that, I'm afraid I don't have a lot to offer -- I've mostly given up on Tin Man due to the fact that the entire fandom tends to post its fics on LJ and, though the stories are long, they are usually less than 2,000 words a chapter. I suffered through one mediocre fic with over a hundred chapters and that pretty much burned out all of my goodwill for the fandom.

Thanks, I'll have a look :)

I've been browsing the tags on delicious, and I've actually seen quite a lot of ff.net fics bookmarked there, some of which are pretty long, so it's not all on LJ. I can point you to the ff.net fics I've seen bookmarked if you want, although I'm tending towards either gen or DG/Cain so I haven't saved any of the links to other pairing fics.

I read Glitch/Cain, and there are a fair number of such fics on ff.net. Unfortunately, they aren't all that great (though I still have a couple to read if I ever get over the trauma of that 100 chapter story). In fact, I ranted about one of them over at Rants -- it's actually epic in length and overall not badly written. You might enjoy it. Here's the link to the rant:
