Ohhh, reccing other people's fic, eh? Time to trawl through my bookmarks and look for the ones that are woefully under-praised. This may take a while...

1. A New World, by Achiasa at AO3 (Rita/Estelle, Tales of Vesperia, rated "teen and up"): Anyone who has played Tales of Vesperia...and, I guess, doesn't mind non-explicit femslash? it says teen, but it's pretty much PG...should read this. Seriously. Like, this person captured so much about the game's world, expanding on it in ways that I envy, and everyone's in character. AND IT ONLY HAS TWO COMMENTS. Including my own. Someone needs to fix this.

2. Achilles Heel, by Mithrigil at AO3 (Hunger Games, rated M for violence): This is basically the story of Finnick's first entrance into the Hunger Games, the one where he was the 'winner.' It is impressive mainly because, for me, I honestly forgot that it was fanfiction and not a prequel written by Suzanne Collins herself. Possibly even better. It has 20 odd comments...43 in total, but half of those are replies from the author...and deserves many more.

3. Since The Roof Fell In, by hector_rashbaum (Kevin Jonas/Brendon Urie, Bandom, rated R.): Much like my self-rec of the Twilight fic from yesterday, this story is somewhat of an anomaly. Reason #1: The main POV character is one of the Jonas Brothers. I don't even really like the Jonas Brothers...nothing against them, I'm just a bit outside of their target demographic and they're not my cup of tea. Reason #2: I normally am bored by post-apocalyptic fic. Not sure why, since I tend to like books in that setting. Maybe it just isn't done well very often? Reason #3: ...Well, the pairing is weird, right? But anyway, it's pretty good, and has a VERY low amount of comments for bandom fic, with about 10 comments (not including the author's replies or back-and-forth conversations, which still only totals 23) in the final section.

(As a side note, when I first read the above fic, I wasn't familiar with bandom yet, hardly at all. I'm not sure how I imagined each of the characters, but I'm pretty sure it was far off from reality. XD I still liked it though, enough to bookmark it.)

Ahem. This is a test entry. 'Cause my Dreamwidth looks kind of empty and I want to see what one will look like. XD ...I haven't uploaded icons yet, though. Hmm, I think I still have some floating around in my Documents folder. /goes to look
