I <3 fandom. And recs.

There was a program recently called 'My Life in Books' where 'famous' people talked about books they've read over their life and how they affected them, and when I'm old I'm going to be able to do that for fanfics as well as books and movies. Some fics I'll remember always. It's nice to think, I'm sure, as an author, that you've touched someone (not in a bad place) so they'll remember you even though you'll never meet them.

And today I read another one! It's 15 Detentions (The Breakfast Club, Bender/Brian, 8.5k, R). This is one that spoke to me about the highschool experience, much like the breakfast club itself did when I saw it. You really SHOULD READ.

I don't know why, given it really WAS NOT in canon, but there are a few truly excellent Bender/Brian fics out there to go along with this one; Most Likely To by the same (fabulous) author Kaneko, and also resonant8's Higher Education and sequel Bare.

I read this from nomelon's recs here. Check em out. I can't be bothered to type anymore but I second heartily her H50 and Community recs. <3 Troy.

Heee, you lazy reccer, you. I love those moments when you're trundling along in fandom, enjoying everything and having a general good time, when somebody writes something that just stops you in your tracks and lifts your day, or writes something that will always stay with you. ♥s fandom.

I am SO lazy!!! Words I haz lost them.

And I realised as I was mostly gonna just parrot what you said, I figured they'd do better to get it from the source! ;)

What a GREAT fic that was. I could realy identify with Bender and I love it when I read a fic and think, yep, that's just perfect. Makes my day! :D
