In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.
My recs from 2012 and 2013.
This time I'm going to do fanfic, yes, but focus on the odd and obscure...
By Divine Intervention: The Revenge of the Mary Sue by Technoelfie (Lord of the Rings) (39379 words) Novella
It's got Legolas in it again. The poor elf is becoming allergic to 21st century girls with nice hair, so what happens when a fedup reader who's got the hots for the elf decides to become a MarySue herself?
(AU Alternate Reality, Self-insertion)
Since I recently saw The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and my eldest niece was raving on about Legolas, I thought I'd read this one again. It's still worth re-reading, yes. It's an odd duck; partly parody, partly serious, yet it still works. Give it a go if you don't mind a bit of meta with your fic.
Muse by Marcus Rowland (CSI/Sandman) (280 words)
Grissom thinks of her as his Muse.
This one is very short, and very fitting.
The Rooster Man Of Gondor by Chelsea Nolen (Lord Of The Rings) (1406 words)
An unusual perspective of the siege at Gondor.
(Missing Scene)
I'm reccing this story because this was the story which convinced me that it actually was possible to write LOTR fanfic without violating canon. Back then I was very much against book-fic, so it was impressive that this story changed my mind.
