Gimme Some Recs!

[ithildin]

As some of you have probably read over the last few months, I'm reading and rereading really old Highlander fic that I've stashed away over the last ten years. I have found some some wonderful new stuff lately by keerawa & amonitrate, amongst others, but I'd love to read more. So if there are stories you've read, or have written -- don't be shy! -- that you'd like to rec that are het or gen, please do. Even if you have a rec that's vaguely slashy (I think I've seen the term pre-slash?) that would be kewl too. OCs are fine, so are xovers, any rating at all.

Thank you in advance for your input!

I didn't know there was that much gen out there! Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough...VBEG. I'll do a search on your recs. I'd like to read them. Thanks!

Yeah, I remember reading lots of gen back when the show was still on, it was just finding newer fic that was the problem. And I do like to read more adult sorts of things too, and anything new in that category has been impossible to find. Not saying it might not be out there, just I can't find it :)

A few recs from me. I'll pimp one of my best friend's fic :)

The Centre Cannot Hold

For the Reckoning Comes

In Fire Restored (I titled the third one if I recall)

And Ecolea's Changing of the Guard series is great. They're all on seventh dimension.

Well, to be fair...

a couple of the stories I recced here *are* slash. I'm predominantly, but not exclusively a gen reader in this fandom.

But checking out these authors will in most cases lead you to *some* gen at least, even if most of them also write slash.

You know...

sometimes I really wonder if we shouldn't try to find a way to raise the visibility of gen in this fandom a bit. I'd like to see a little bit more gen produced again... And, while the fandom is not *hostile* to gen, I think many - newbies in particular - take HL as a pretty much exclusively slash fandom, and that's a bit sad, considering the quality of some of the gen out there. There's quite a bit of brilliant HL gen out there, and I'm sure more could be produced...
