GOOD Fics

Instead of just complaining about Sturgeon's Law I thought I'd post recommendations of stuff I find readable. My first thought was to try and find stuff that non-fans would also be able to read if they wanted with little or no background and do a post with at least 3 or 4 with stuff from more than one fandom.

Then I got busy with the IYFG reading and never did the research.

So, a compromise. I'm going to keep a draft post going to add stories as I find them and then post whatever when I either have several OR don't have anything else to blog about. Probably it's going to be the the second options so I wouldn't expect more than one or two at a time.

These stories will not be limited to stuff non-fans will enjoy but if you aren't familier with a series you can usually get enough to go on at Wiki anyway. Plus, I'll add my own notes to help.

First up two stories from Inuyasha.

Title: Fukamoriji Shiki
Author: Scribe Figaro
Fandom: Inuyasha
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3177384/1/

The story of Miroku's parents and grandparents but you don't need to know anything about the series to understand it.

This is Scribe Figaro's best work ever. Her use of language has really matured in the last couple of years and her characters are wonderful.

Title: Gisei
Author: Alterfano
Fandom: Inuyasha

Alterfano uses both the elements from the manga and real world historical Japan to create a coming of age story in which Rin ultimately finds her place in the world after learning that some things are worth dying for. Beautiful artwork is posted along with the story.
