Multiple recs posts of mostly small fandoms

[doranwen]

A few years I created a database to organize my fanfics, stocked it with about 1800 fics from a handful of fandoms (mostly small ones), and then got swamped with things and put it on hold. Tonight I've finally caught up with the fandoms in it* and updated all of the lists, and thought it might be good to link them here in case someone hasn't seen the posts before or wants to revisit them now that I have added nearly 350 fics to the lists.

You can find them all linked at my master recs post. All lists indicate which ships are major in the fic, if any, and I mark a few additional things that may be helpful.

Fandoms currently included:

• Alphas


• FBI (CBS show)


• FBI: Most Wanted


• Fried Green Tomatoes (book & movie)


• Push


• Speed


• The Matrix

as well as a smattering of recs from tinier fandoms (mainly movies). Fandoms with fewer than 30 fics in my database (such as Speed) are in a "Tiny fandoms" post, and there's a post just for crossovers as well.

In order to keep maintenance to a minimum, I don't include all the themes with the main posts above, but I generally include them with any post made on request. Themes tagged cover everything from tropes to grammar (I tag anything that isn't third person past tense) to story ending (positive, sad/unhappy, etc.) to AO3's archive warnings. If you want or need to be spoiled about everything, follow the directions on that post to request a custom recs list and I'd be happy to make one for you.

* The only fandoms not updated are the two FBI shows, because I haven't watched past S3 of the main show and S2 of the Most Wanted one. Someday, perhaps…

I'm not in any of these fandoms but that is a very satisfying database!

Satisfying is a *really* good word to use, lol. I enjoy working with it so much and it makes it super easy to create a list with the exact parameters desired. I'm adding Profiler fics now, with Tomorrow When the War Began up next, and then I'll have caught up with my small movie/show fandoms and at that point have to decide which larger fandom to add (Lois & Clark vs. SVU are the strongest contenders right now). I also love that I can generate stats at any point - how many fics per fandom, total wordcount per fandom, etc., all are a piece of cake. A data-lover's dream.

If you didn't already, you may want to at least look at the crossovers post. There are a bunch of crossovers where I didn't tag the fandoms here because the fandoms only appear once or twice so far (despite being bigger fandoms that should eventually have thousands of fics in my database) - but many of them are truly fantastic, so it's possible might you find something interesting. :) (If not, that's okay - we don't all share the same fandoms, but I thought I'd at least let you know of that chance.)
