20 recs from my first run through the archive.

Fandoms are The I.T. Crowd, The Wire, Wire In the Blood, The Mentalist, Sanctuary, Grosse Point Blank, The High Life, Kingdom, Kinky Boots, Modesty Blaise, Green Day – 21st Century Breakdown, Lewis, Cal Leandros, Apparitions, As Time Goes By, Dresden Files, Fast And The Furious, Flash Forward


First off is the wonderful gift I received, it’s an I.T.Crowd story. Get Your Geek On - In which economic downturns lead to strange times indeed. ( Mature 2037 words Jen/Moss/Roy )

I loved every word; it’s a great story that captures the feeling and tone of the show exactly. The characterisation is spot on, and the writer has caught the voices of all the characters. I really liked the way they wrote Moss, they’ve got him perfectly.

Yuletide is open! I find it easiest to just go through the fandoms here: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2009/fandoms (also less strain on the servers than filtering the /works page) and pick those I am familiar with. Yuletide Madness will be revealed tomorrow, I think.

I know a lot of people write recommendation lists for Yuletide and they are not allowed over at the LJ community (they have 2,000 members, after all). But since we have less, I think we can allow those to be posted here :)

Happy Yuletide!

In the meantime, Dreamwidth's new search feature means we can now do this:
