A Question for anyone out there. Can someone rec some fic? [livejournal.com profile] violetjones perhaps, I really liked you last suggestions. I've kind of stopped reading fic, well ok I've kind of stopped reading everything but brightly coloured order faxes (kill me please). I have a list of to read about a mile long, but I can't really remember what each one is about, and well, the few that I've looked at from there haven't interested me.

I like really long fics. Generally I like AUs but I dont' really think I'm in the mood for them right now, but suggest away. What I'm really in the mood for right now is crying. I find I always feel better after reading something really depressing. It doesn't even have to be a quality *fanfic* (I mean it can be OOC, I still ike it to be written fairly well), as long as the emotions in them are real.

Anyways, does anyone think they can help me?

Hey Lindsay,

I just happened to check LJ and see your request. Unfortunately I have very limited computer and internet access for a while, so I haven't been keeping up with fandom stuff very well lately. I'll try to e-mail you soon, and provide some recs. Also, my package arrived in Mobile! Now I just have to wait for it to be forwarded to Arkansas. YAY!

Talk to you soon!

JEN

I don't know what you've read and what you haven't, but here are a few lengthy qaf tearjerkers I loved -

Reaper Boy, a Dead Like Me/Queer as Folk crossover by [livejournal.com profile] wrenlet. You start here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/nanowrenlet/430.html) and then continue through the journal, clicking on 'next entry' each time you've completed a section as it's laid out chronologically in the lj without chapter/part designations.

If You Needed Me (http://www.toolunaticsnwon.com/html/myrna_s_fiction.html) by Myrna, a series made up of four parts - If You Needed Me, I Would Come To You, I'd Swim The Seas, and For To Ease Your Pain from Ethan, Michael, Brian, and Justin's points of view, respectively.

Have you tried Rizabeau's fics - they are archived at www.qaf-fic.com/atp/? They are long, mostly AU though, and full of angst and schmoop. :)
BTW - tried to email you but not sure if your email addy is still functioning?? Just wanted to make sure you got the MO for the stuff. :-D
