Glee/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

** Note: When we say "Best gen fic the fandom has to offer," we mean she that at the latest [https://web.archive.org/web/20110204103313/http://community.livejournal.com/glee_fic_awards/6234.html#cutid1 Glee Fic Awards] over on [[Live JournalLiveJournal]], she walked away with first ''and'' third for best gen fic, plus ten other awards for a grand total of twelve - [[Serial Escalation|including second place for Best Author Overall.]]

** Seconded. Her writing style is beautiful and flowing, but the most amazing thing about her is the characterization. She does such a fantastic job pinning all of the canon characters, as well as creating well-rounded OC's.

* ''Comments'': This chick writes beautifully. Right now, she's in the middle of a series she calls 'Expect the Unexpected'. Each fic focuses on one character and gives them a wildly outlandish story-line, ranging from comedic to down right tragic. She's also writing a great take on Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", using the Glee characters, and in McCarthy's writing style. It's amazing.

* ''Synopsis'': "How can you be a Mama's boy without a Mama?"

* ''Synopsis'': Quinn has just moved to Lima, Ohio and is pissed about it. She suddenly sees a boy in all white rolling across her lawn in a wheelchair. When she follows him she ends up falling down the rabbit hole and ends up in Wonderland.

* ''Comments'': A great, well-written crossover that was written by an author who clearly loves both Glee and [[Alice in Wonderland]]. They immediately dive right into an exciting and original plot too that somehow still manages to feel urgent all while showing the usual walking around and meeting people formula the Alice story is known for. Everyone she meets is a Glee character but none of them are ever referred to by their names-her writing is so clear that you immediately can tell who everyone is. It does dabble into quite a bit of romance between Quinn and "The Mad Hatter" but for the most part it's a fun and exciting read.

* ''Synopsis'': Will´s reaction to the new Cheerios´ routine.

* ''Synopsis'': When two boys open fire in McKinley, the Glee club has minutes to save themselves. And if some fall during the tragedy, can they recover? Is there a boundry to forgiveness? A time and a place for heroes? A limit for grief?

* ''Comments'': Though this is a work in progress (it's being written to tide Glee fans over until season 3) every chapter is amazing. As per usual, the characterisation is spot on, the humour's great and the author's skill really shows.

* ''Comments'': Still a work in progress, though there's plenty there already, and it's updated frequently. It plays the idea of bodyswap seriously rather than for comedy, though - as appropriate for a Glee fic - that doesn't mean there aren't some hilarious moments. Quinn and Finn try to cope while having no idea how to switch back, trying not to mess up their lives' more than they already are. It doesn't work so well. The main ship is Quinn-in-Finn/Rachel, though the author has also raised the possibility of eventual Finn-in-Quinn/Sam.

* ''Summary'': When Kurt Hummel was abducted by crazy time-traveling historians who live in bubbles, he never expected to find himself dealing with zombies. Or turning into a girl. Or living with his mother. Here there be angst.

* Link is to a friends-locked [[Live JournalLiveJournal]]. Can we get a different link please?

* ''Synopsis'': It's Spring Break and Kurt's going on a road trip that is if he can find someone to go with him...Dad's orders...Puck wasn't his first choice by far but life is funny like that.

* ''Comments'': One of the main positives about this fic is that it captures both Kurt and Puck in character, and not rushing right into the romance or having a onesided attraction to start with. The plot is fast-paced and sexy, with a dark undertone looming and some of the best humor this troper has seen out of Puck.

* ''Comments'': Blaine´s Dalton uniform is his tracksuit. Funny one-shot with parallels between Blaine and Sue of all people. (Regrettable lack of supervillainy, though)

* ''Summary'': The summer right after Kurt turns seventeen is hot, and personal, and might kind of just maybe be the most important three months of his life.

* ''Summary'': Since before she can remember, Santana has always been mesmerized by fire.

* ''Pairing'': Kurt Hummel/Mercedes Jones

* ''Comments'': Cute, emotional fic.

* ''Synopsis'': Kurt tries to help Dave find his way out of the closet. When his words of encouragement backfire and things go more wrong for Dave than Kurt ever would have guessed, it's up to Kurt to help Dave pick up the pieces.

* ''Synopsis'': Wes’ senior year of high school is supposed to be a breeze: he’s got the perfect grades, he’s a shoo-in for the Ivy Leagues, he’s got everything under control. But then Kurt Hummel steps into his life and Blaine falls in love with Kurt and, really, what else was Wes supposed to do? The story of how Wes Warbler gets through his final year at Dalton Academy and, how along the way, he helps his friends, discovers some things about himself and learns to love life.

* ''Comments'': An absolutely heartbreaking fic. It humanises everyone; Kurt, Blaine, Karofsky, and especially Sebastian, who has some SERIOUS issues. It begins lighthearted, but quickly becomes EXTREMELY dark. It's also a serious deconstruction of promiscuity, its effects on one's reputation, and the casual dehumanisation of promiscuous people through the derogatory use of words like "slut" and "whore".
