So, I've spent my whole evening trying to work my way through slashfest, reading the fandoms I'm familiar with (and comfortable with, b/c there are some pairings I can't read) and being saddened by the lack of commenting going on over there. I bring to you now some of my favorites, in a variety of fandoms. Mostly from slashfest, a few from my flist. There will possibly be more tomorrow, since I have a few more slashfest fics to read and then I can start working on my fanfic-to-be-read list.

Just because I've only caught a few random episodes of SV doesn't mean I can't read the fanfic! *g* This is very awesomely written and I loved it.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

What a lovely idea. I started reding Slashfest early on, but then got caught up in my fic and Xmas and all the other hubbub. I'm going to make that my mission for the week - read as many as I can (even if I don't read that fandom and I know of it I'll give it a try.) Everyone deserves feedback - otherwise fests would just die off.

I planned on reading everything the fandoms I know, but in the end stuck to pairings I'm comfortable with (I just don't think I can read Snape/Remus or Harry/Lucius). Still, there are some awesome fics over there, and the lack of commenting is sad.

Sometimes you make me wish I had more fandoms.

I said sometimes.

hehehe

*sigh*

sometimes I make me wish I had less fandoms.
