Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool fics/podfics/fanarts/fanvids/fancrafts/some other kind of fanwork have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled

Two f/f recs for Star Trek: TOS and Legally Blonde (a Star Trek AU!) over at my journal.

merryghoul

Fics from the late 2000s-early 2010s. One not rated (but hosted on a kink meme), the rest rated explicit. Various het and slash pairings as well as threesomes. All recs at my journal.

All of these are fics I read in the past month and added to my fanfic database, which means they met a minimum personal standard for quality as well as personal tolerance for themes/content. Personal taste may vary, but most of these should appeal to any Matrix fan. The majority, unsurprisingly, are for The Matrix: Resurrections. All of them will soon be merged into my overall recs lists for The Matrix so they can be browsed several ways.

If any of the links above no longer work (and are inaccessible via the Wayback Machine), please let me know so I can flag them as "Dead" in my database, thanks!

Enjoy! :)

All of these are fics I read in the past month and added to my fanfic database. Most of them are for The Matrix, as usual, because of the fandoms I've added to my database, that one is by far the most active. There were more Matrix fics than the ones I added, too - mostly kink and/or ships I'm not into, so if those sound appealing, you'll have to check the actual fandom tag for what's been posted. But if you'd like a more curated list, the ones below I thought were all interesting enough to suggest, and they're sorted by wordcount so you can choose what fits the length of time you have to read. (And while I always love Neo/Trinity, the ones with no major ships at all are all short and quite intriguing, so if you don't know where to start, try those.)

I'm assuming at this point that most everyone has seen The Matrix: Resurrections and don't need spoiler warnings; the fics in this list are mostly for that film. If you're wanting lists separated by the film(s) they're based on instead, those are linked from my master recs post, and also contain the fics below.

I missed March, so all of these are fics I read in the past *two* months and added to my fanfic database. I've been too focused on other projects to add any new fandoms, so these are just new fics posted in existing ones… which results in all Matrix fics, since the other fandoms in there are tiny in comparison.

After posting a question on a fandom community and getting some feedback, I've learned that more people would find organization by wordcount useful than by author, so this and all future updates will be organized (after fandom) by wordcount.
