MY MASTER LIST OF RECS
for everything supernatural

for someone who's been reading spn fic for as long as it's been around, this sure is a pathetic list. i should have started a long time ago. but have no fear, this will be updated regularly!

these stories are phenomenal and i love them. some i have read a dozen times - the concepts are interesting, the characterizations are spot-on, the dialogue is flawless. some of it is poetry, and some of it is so funny i get sick laughing.

feed these writers. they work hard and they deserve it.

leave me comments so we can gossip about fic please, i love it.

rec me things, because i never stop wanting to read more! what isn't on here that totally should be? please tell me.



PLZ TO BE NOTING: if your fic is on here and it has a campy-ass summary that doesn't do justice to your writing at all, please know that these fics are here because i love them to bits, and they are amazing, and in no way do i mean anything by snotty one-line summaries. it's just a geeky play on how folks tend to look for fic.
