Fanfic Favourites! :D

Remember how I said that I'd be recommending some fanfiction, or just basically raving over the ones I love, while also pimping my friend's work...well the time is nigh, she's just posted the first chapter of her new story, and I have some awesome recommendations for you! :D

So, my friend paper-fl0wers has posted the first chapter of her newest fic, Raziel's Angel. == Click link to go to Chapter 1! :) This fanfiction is about Jace and Clary from The Mortal Instruments, it's AU (Alternate Universe), but they're still Shadowhunters. It's rated T (Teen), so it's not going to be a racy fic. I know some people don't like those, while others may be disappointed that it isn't one. :P haha I really enjoyed the first chapter, she's set up a world where Clary's grown up as a Shadowhunter, and is the daughter of Luke, not Valentine. Then Jace, is the adoptive son of Valentine. Plus, I love Jace and Clary...so I adore this! :)

If you'd like the description of Raziel's Angel again, its:

Jace and Clary have been best friends since childhood, but a tragic event pushes Jace away from her and forces him to make difficult decisions. He then has to struggle to figure out the difference between what is right and what he's been told is right.

I'm also going to be helping her beta it, by throwing ideas back and forth. Right now, she has limited time to get onto the computer, so it might take a while for new chapters to show up, but I'll keep you updated when new chapters are posted. :)

I also have a couple of my favourite fanfics that I'm going to recommend! These one's are complete, so you can just keep reading until the end if you want to. :P

The first one is by ddpjclaf, who I absolutely love! She's fantastic, and her fics are so amazing! Seriously, you'll be wowed! The one I'm going to recommend today is called, Turbulence. == Click link to go to Chapter 1! :)

It's also about Jace and Clary from The Mortal Instruments (obviously I love TMI fanfics, but I have a huge soft spot for anything by ddpjclaf). This one is rated M (Mature), so it's definitely one that some people might not want to read. It has some pretty serious subject matter, and has some lemony moments, but in general, the M is more for serious stuff, like abuse, etc. This one is AU (Alternate Universe), AH (All Human), OOC (Out of Character), and fluffy (moments that make you go...Awwww, and the kind of kissy scenes that make you go all warm and fuzzy inside). I'm giving you all this lingo so you can understand the descriptions. haha I'm thinking maybe I should just make a whole post on Fanfiction lingo...would that interest anyone?

Turbulence is also posted in completion on its own blog, but I'm going to warn you that there is a music player on it...so don't blame me when the music scares you. haha  Here's the link: Turbulence Blog. You can also find videos, a playlist, and various art for Turbulence on the blog. :)

Here's Turbulence's description:

While dealing with a loss, Clary befriends her new neighbor's troubled foster-son. Can their friendship help them let go of the pain or will their pasts intervene and rip them apart? AU/AH PRETTY OOC. VERY FLUFFY. A wee bit of lemonade.

PS. Jace plays guitar and sings in this one...and he plays soccer. *sigh* Oh, how I love Turbulence Jace. ;)

And my last recommendation is written by GreenPuma, and it's called Facebook Friends == Click link to go to Chapter 1! :)

This one isn't about TMI! haha This one is a Twilight fic, centered around Edward and Bella. It's AU (Alternate Universe), AH (All Human), and OOC (Out of Character). It's also rated M (Mature), and this one definitely has "adult" material in it, of course, there's also swearing. It's now completed, so you won't have to wait for more chapters. :) I loved this one. I'm a sucker for anything that mentions Facebook...so this story's title had me interested right away, and then I read it, and I was hooked! I love how this fic has Facebook added into it, through statuses, and chats...it's awesome! :D Plus, you'll notice with these recommendations that I mostly read AH and AU fics for Twilight, I'm a sucker for really well written ones.

Here's Facebook Friends' description:

Bella is shocked when her sexy but standoffish lab partner, Edward, friends her on Facebook. Will Alice, convince her to accept Edward's friend request? Or will she write it off as a prank of the conceited, spoiled rich kid she knows him to be?

So, that's my first actual recommendation post for Fanfiction, I hope that at least a few of you are interested, and if you are please let me know! I want to make sure at least one person actually wants some great fanfiction to read! I'm not sure how frequently I'll be doing these posts, but I made a button for it, so you'll know when you see the button that it's about Fanfiction. 

Also, I will only recommend fanfiction that are well written, seriously. I've read some of the ones that aren't, and I've finished them too....I'm one of those people who find it hard to not know how something ends, so I will not put you through that. :P 

I mentioned making a post about Fanfiction lingo, but you might've missed it in my all my words up there, so would anyone be interested in a post exclusively about Fanfiction and it's lingo? You know terms, like OOC, AH, AU, the different ratings, Mary Sue, OTP? If you are let me know, and I'll start compiling one, and I'll research to see if I can find some I don't already know. :)

If you read fanfiction, what do you like to read it about? And what are some of your favourite pairings?

Happy Reading!!!

Fanfiction! Why I love it, and a bit of pimpage for my friend, Jen! :D

You all might not know this about me, but I'm a pretty big fan of fanfiction. I absolutely adore it! There are some really amazing fanfics out there, and I won't lie, I've spent many hours reading them! And I mean many. I even have a few saved on my computer because I know I'll want to read them again and again, and I've also written a couple myself, but I'll keep quiet about those. :P

I love that with fanfiction my favourite characters can basically do or be anything! They don't have to be confined to their own world within their story, or even their own book! A scene can be rewritten and something can be added, or a story can be continued on for forever...or at least until the fanfic stops. A story can be completely shifted around and characters can become average people in our world. Characters that you hoped and hoped would be together could finally get their chance! Or if you're like I was when I first found fanfiction, you can get a chance to read more stories about the characters after their story has ended! 

The first fanfic that I every read was for The Mortal Instruments. I'd just finished City of Glass and I was so not ready to stop reading about Jace. Yes, I won't lie, it was all about Jace. My obsession with him can be unhealthy at times, and I've come to terms with that. :P This was before the newest TMI books had been announced, so I was seriously desperate. I can't remember which story I read first, but that first fanfic lead to countless others, and soon I was reading Twilight fanfics, Harry Potter fanfics, Hunger Games fanfics...and pretty much any other fanfic that stirred my fancy. I even read a couple fanfics for Veronica Mars, where Logan and Veronica FINALLY ended up together...although, in my mind they totally did even if the show isn't on anymore! Come on, after that finale and that look between Logan and Veronica after he kicks that dude's butt (VM fans totally know what I'm talking about :P), there is no way that they didn't end up together. Piz knew it too (you could so tell), and I knew it! Anyways...I'm getting off topic!

So, I'm a huge fanfic addict, although I've weaned myself off of it pretty well, if I do say so myself. I no longer have tonnes to read every other day. There was honestly a time where I had at least one fanfic update to read daily, but I quickly realized it was a ridiculous amount, so now I limit myself. :P

Anyways, my friend, Jen, asked me to see if any of my followers were fanfic fans, and see if anyone would be interested in her new fanfic, so I thought, "Why not?" and I figured it would be a great time to see if I have any other fellow Fanfic addicts out there reading the posts on my blog. ;)

 

Both of the two fanfics that I'm going to mention are for The Mortal Instruments. Her profile on Fanfiction.net is: paper-flowers, and she's written 14 fanfictions so far, but her longest and most popular one (and the one that I met her through) was Fallen Gold, which is now completed. 

Fallen Gold's Summary: 

Our golden haired angel has fallen when, after breaking a law, the Clave removes Jace of his runes and abilities. He tries to see past the glamours and one day meets a redhead who can. Meanwhile, Idris is being taken over by a villian you're familiar with.

And her upcoming fanfic is called Raziel's Angel, here's its summary:

Shadowhunters, Jace Herondale and Clary Graymark, have been best friends since childhood. They grew up together in Idris. But a tragic event pushed Jace away from his friend and forces him to make difficult decisions. He struggles to figure out the difference between what is right and what he's been taught is right.

I'm definitely excited to read her latest fanfic, and I hope that at least a few of you are fanfiction fans too! That way at least one person will be interested it this post! haha

I'm thinking of doing a post every once in a while with Fanfiction recommendations, and I'm planning on posting about Jen's story, Raziel's Angel, again when she posts it online, would any of you be interested in that?

Happy Reading!!!
