Day #1

(basically, I'm a sheep. Baaah)

The Fandom Appreciation Challenge is about giving feedback, reccing and interacting with other fen. It's also about harnessing the power of the ticky-box for good.

The Fandom Appreciation Challenge runs for a week, and consists of seven individual daily challenges AKA Day Challenges. Each Day Challenge runs for 24 hours. Do not check the ticky-box until you've completed the Day Challenge. You don't have to complete every Day Challenge to play.

Anyone can play, any fandom. All aboard! \o/



Fandom Appreciation Challenge 2010 - Day 1: Rec 3 challenge stories or fanworks in your journal. - Challenge stories/fanworks include flashfics from a flashfic challenge, yuletide and secret santa stories, Valentine's exchanges, kink memes, porn battles, and any other organised challenge or exchange in any fandom.

Um, so. I'm a lolobvious sheep? The thing is, there are so many cool fics around with a glaring (to me) flaw: my OTP plays a secondary role. Or it's just mentioned here and there, en passant, while the focus of the fic is pairing XYZ. This is damn frustrating if you're as selective as I am. Also, it makes the reccing part twice as hard. Aw.

- No Particular Place to Go by flyingtapes. Bob/Ray, R, The Time Traveler's Wife AU.

This is THE fic, the one I always go back to when I need a cuddle in written words. I love the dynamic, the characterization, the flow and the pace, I love it all. My only complaint? I would have loved a +20k of this. I'm not talking about the verse itself, I really mean of this fic.

- The Light Is Perfect by valmontheights. Bob/Ray, PG-13.

I have a soft spot for domestic fics, yeah. I'm a fan of established relationships, of quiet and manly love and little to none angst, please (affectionate bickering? Go right ahead. Ten thousand shades of angst? Please don't). Porn is alright, but not mandatory: what I really want is to read bazillions of fics just like this one.

- Underneath Your Skin, by anon (if you're reading this, just know that I love you). Bob/Ray, NC-17.

What I was saying above about established relationships, but revisited under a porn light. They're at it, the sex is hot, but! It isn't just about sex! Isn't that great? There's so much more behind and we gets glimpses of it and. Aw. ♥


(Write many +20k of domestic!Bob/Ray, people. You won't regret it)(and I might blow you out of sheer happiness anyway)
