Recent/Current Rec Lists

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

There are several great rec lists out there, but most of them seem to have stopped being updated around 2008 or so.

Does anyone know of any more recently and/or actively updated rec lists out there?

Thanks in advance.

ETA: This is a bit of a living document. I'm adding rec list links from the comments below, and as I encounter other rec lists online.

House, M.D. Fanfic Rec Lists

*An asterisk means the rec list includes information (beyond title, author, rating, pairing) for each fic that may help you decide if it's for you -- fic summary/description, review, comments from the reccer, etc. Of course, there's fantastic fic to be found at all of these links. Have fun!

Not a list as such but flywoman did a turn on crack_van (http://crack_van) last year and you can see her recs (http://crack-van.livejournal.com/tag/house)at this link. Includes some fic and some vids, not all H/W.

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

Hi - I have two fic lists on my LJ page. It's authors reccing their own favorite fics that they wrote themselves (god, how awkward is that phrasing?). Not only a treasure trove of fic, but a way to see why authors have their favorite "babies."

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

Could you possibly change the name of my lists? Right now it sounds like my own masterlist. Perhaps "Authors Reccing Themselves" or something like that.

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Done.

How about "Authors' Self-Recs" for short?

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

I like what you decided to call it!

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Yay! Then that's what we'll call it on the author listings (which includes an "also featured on other rec lists" bit) here, when it goes live:

http://house-what-if.livejournal.com

That project is one of my reasons for tracking down more rec lists. lit_luminary and I are still evaluating fics and expanding our rec list, but you can read the definitions pages for now, if you're interested.

Thanks,
resourceress7

[knitty-woman.livejournal.com]

This counts as an oldie and oftentimes goodie, but I've found it has a lot of good things I've never seen rec'ced elsewhere. It's the Television Without Pity Fanfic Recommendations page. Not really a list, but it includes links. Hasn't been updated since 2009 and is read-only, but still worthwhile.

http://bit.ly/18oZH8N

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I wasn't able to get the link to load, though. For some reason, TWoP is saying the forums.televisionwithoutpity.com is forbidden to access.

[knitty-woman.livejournal.com]

I just tried and it loads for me. Here's another link, this time to page 2 of the archive. (Also - this thread was superseded by House's House of Whining. I've never checked that out and have no idea whether it remains active.)

http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3137197-the-fanfic-recommendation-thread/page-2

And here's a link to House's House of Whining, which begins in 2007:

http://hhow.fr.yuku.com/topic/11/Oh-Its-Storytime-Let-Me-Get-My-Baba-The-FanFic-Rec-Thread

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Thanks, those worked. I think my internet access is just wonky today.

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

Wow, the comm looks amazing! I cannot believe how much work it must be for you and lit_luminary to put together! I'm delighted!

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's *definitely* a labor of love. A gleeful obsession. We love it.

Many fics in the what-iffy genre were already our favorites and instantly made it to the list. But, we're scouring the web to find more (if you've seen my LJ, this should come as no surprise). We've found about 650 potentially reccable fics that seem to fit our categories. We read, discuss, and definitively rec as time permits. So far about 100 fics by about 50 authors are officially on the rec list.

We'd like to finalize it as much as possible before making the rec list publicly available, so we can rec everyone at once. :) Stay tuned!

[yarroway.livejournal.com]

I love this idea!! When do we get to see the stories?

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

As soon as we can. :)

Now that both of us have some time off work/school, we hope to work together more on this project, and on lit_luminary's fic, Acute Management (http://lit-luminary.livejournal.com/21556.html) - also available on FF.net (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8370647/1/Acute-Management). (And yes, there's much more to come in that fic… just not typically posted quickly. We hope you enjoy the first 3 chapters for now.)

As I said, we want to rec everyone at once on the House What-If Rec List. We'll do the big reveal as soon as humanly possible. We're excited, too!

[alternatealto.livejournal.com]

This is a really creative and inventive approach to rec-list building. And the amount of time involved here is just amazing to think of -- kudos to you both!

Your fic categories are especially well-chosen and intriguing. I'm very much looking forward to this comm when it goes live!

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Thanks. "Creative and inventive" is kind of the theme of this rec list's content, come to think of it. :)

We're really excited about this project, too. It's great to see people a-buzz here.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

http://nightdog-barks.livejournal.com/1693300.html

:D

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll add it above.

And wow, you posted your rec list today. Did this post inspire you? In any case, yay!

[srsly-yes.livejournal.com]

It's not big, but it's different. My House-Wilson death fic rec list: http://srsly-yes.livejournal.com/180381.html

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reminding me about this one. I love that it's called "When You Need a Good Cry."

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Heads up, everybody! Barefootpuddles made a new rec list:

Stories You Might Not Have Heard Of* -- http://barefootpuddles.livejournal.com/31722.html

Yay! I added it in the body of the post above. Enjoy!

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Also added a couple more by barefootpuddles (favorites; Cup of Comfort), and Sick!Wilson Fics for a Cheer-Up. See above.

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Another addition to the Newer Recs section above:

Food-Centric Fics* -- http://hw-reqs.livejournal.com/757418.html

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Added another new rec list, by yarroway: Off the Beaten Path (http://yarroway.livejournal.com/39312.html)

Like barefootpuddles' rec list, Stories You Might Not Have Heard Of (http://barefootpuddles.livejournal.com/31722.html), this list focuses on fics and authors you may have missed.

Enjoy!

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Hi again! Another update to the Rec List List.

I've re-formatted the list to include publication dates, and put them all in one alphabetical list. Also, here are the most recent additions to the list:

- A Biography of Fic Recs
- Daisylily's Recs
- John House Fanfic Recs
- Silja-b's Recs


All of these are well-organized and thematically interesting. Take a look.

Enjoy!

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Oh, found one more:

- Electricshocks' Recs*

Yay! More recs!

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Another rec list: Fic Me Twice

This one has reviews of 36 fics. You can use the 'tags' link to scroll through the entries, and the 'memories' link is a nice index. There may be several authors here that you were unfamiliar with, so go explore.

Enjoy!

House "What-If"

[resourceress7.livejournal.com]

Now that it's official, I've added a the House "What-If" Rec List (http://house-what-if.livejournal.com) to the list.

Updated here and on AO3

[resourceress7]

I've archived this list (minus the comments) on Archive of Our Own.

I'll keep it updated both on LJ and on AO3. (Not sure if this dreamwidth version of this post can be edited...)

Mainly I've been updating links to the lists that are already here (e.g., some people have switched over from livejournal to dreamwidth).

If anyone knows of rec lists that are not yet listed here, please do let me know!

[resourceress7]

I unearthed yet another rec list. I'm excited to include as many ships as I can.

Volakis/Wilson Fic Archive and Rec List
(2008)
https://volakis-wilson.livejournal.com/2865.html
Fiction about Wilson/Amber, and how the ship affects House/Wilson. Some are specifically season 4 post-ep fics, and all include Wilson, Amber, and/or House in some configuration.

(Note: Since this Rec List List post is imported over from LJ, I can't edit the body of the post here. I do keep it updated both on LJ and on AO3.)
