Most in-character fic you've ever read?

Comments

I've been thinking about this question since you posed it, and I really can't narrow it down to one, or even to a hundred. There are so many great writers in this fandom that we have a cornucopia of in-character fics.

Really? Well, I've had a hard time of it. I'm pretty harsh with my IC standards, though, I know, compared to a lot of fandom.

What are the most common ways in which a fic falls down on characterization for you?

[lilapaddy.livejournal.com]

Any nicknames used, usually when first names are used, a lot of overt affection, gentle caresses, dialogue that sounds girlish/young/not-American, AU (AU can be really good, but for me it's very unsatisfying, because I love House/Wilson in their proper context in the "House" universe), any fic where they get domestic (have/adopt kids, marry, talk about getting married, secretly live together during the show's timeline), any time a third-party character is OOC (Cuddy/Cameron/Stacy/Chase being fangirls about H/W)...The list goes on and on...

Keep going, because I'm very interested.

Also, you don't think House and Wilson could live together and have it be in-character?

Which fics have you found to be in-character?

[lilapaddy.livejournal.com]

I love fics that are set during when they lived together in canon, and I would love it if, on the show, they would live together again. I've just seen too many fics where it's like "We're living together in domestic bliss but keeping it a secret" and that strikes me as very OOC. Usually, canon tells us where they're living at any given point, so when someone writes a fic where they're living together in season one and we all know Wilson was still married to Julie then, I stop reading.

A few other things off the top of my head-- when they kiss or have sex without any prior angst or thought about what it means, when it's too easy, when there is minimal set-up...

is pretty great. I recently got a new computer and lost all my bookmarks, so I'll have a hard time telling you which I favorited, but I know Cryptictac's "Stereophonic Silence" and "Reverberation" were old favorites, as were many of Mer_Duff's fics and one of Bironic's that I can't remember the name of.

Here are some rec lists that might help you replace some of your lost bookmarks (House/Wilson wise anyway)

Imagi_nation22's Rec List (http://imagi-nation22.livejournal.com/20403.html)
Topaz Eyes's House MD Fic Rec list (all ships, but she has a lot of House/Wilson recs)

Equally Damaged: The House/Wilson Rec Site (http://www.tomorrow-never-knows.net/damaged/textficrecs.html) - link goes to the fic recs.

Here's bironic's fics (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=bironic&keyword=_my+writing&filter=all) or you can go to her website (http://bironic.nostatement.com/). (http://topaz-eyes.livejournal.com/32402.html)

if your old computer uses Windows and still works, you can transfer your favorites using Internet Explorer.

click "File" --> "Import and Export" then choose "Export Favorites" and click "Next"
you can choose which favorites you want to export. if you just click the main "favorites" folder, it will export all of them.
after choosing your favorites, click "Next"
now select the where you'd like the file to save to and click "Next"

your favorites are now in an html doc you can move to your new computer using a thumb drive. to import, just go to "File" --> "Import and Export" and select "Import Favorites" then direct it to the html doc wherever you put it on the computer and when you're finished, your old favorites will be on your new computer's favorites list.

i have no idea how to do it if you're using a Mac

Thank you but no, I had to get a new computer because I got a virus and everything corrupted. Thanks anyways, though!
