Fansite - The Less Than Legendary Journeys

Growing up, one of my favorite shows was Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. It enraptured and inspired me, drew me in, and undoubtedly left a profound impression upon my imagination. As with any of the shows I love, I periodically go back and watch it all through again - a process which often also demands the reading of fanfiction.

The Less Than Legendary Journeys is the home of excellently written fanfiction by a diverse group of talented writers. The tales reside within a "shared universe" in which many of the stories correlate with one another, though, they are often by different authors. The best thing about the fanfiction on this site, however, is the grand quality of the tales shared. They're superb - the characters are spot-on, their adventures believable, and the stories themselves thoroughly delightful.

I really enjoy the fanfiction at The Less Than Legendary Journeys - they even have a graphics' section and other cool stuff! Though, it would seem it has been some time since the writers actively participated in writing for the site, I was delighted to find it is still around (as are many of the authors, so be sure to send them reviews!). Full of a number of inspiring works, The Less Than Legendary Journeys is well-worthy of its place as this week's Fandom Pick.

SG-1 Fic - Who Am I? Who Are You?

Some of my most favorite stories and authors have been found on the favorites' lists of others; Who Am I? Who Are You? is no exception.

The tale opens with Jon, Colonel Jack O'Neill's teenage clone, who finds himself struggling to figure out who he is after the life he had known is no longer his. His career, his team - his family - all has been stripped away from him, leaving a lonely void.

Then, into this void steps another lonely soul: Cassandra.

A story of two people and the solace they are able to find in each other through the trials that are life and just growing up (again!), Who Am I? Who Are You? is a beautiful account and this week's Fandom Pick.

SN Author - Bambers2

Before I had even joined the fandom, myself, my best friend told me that I had to read the work of an author by the name of Bambers2. When I finally made my way to the profile of this talented author, I found a smorgasbord of brilliantly written tales.

Easily one of the most talented writers of any fandom, Bambers' writing brilliantly covers the entire spectrum of genres: gen, angst, humor, suspense - even the occasional bit of romance. I highly recommend her tale So Not Following the Yellow Brick Road and her AU series (after the conclusion of season 3) Angels and Demons.

Few people possess the talent of Bambers2 - and I'm not necessarily speaking only of fanfic writers. Her stories are truly a must-read for Supernatural fans everywhere.

SN Fic - Sneeze

It started with a sneeze. Then another. And another. And... well, let's just say that this delightful drabble collection has been affectionately dubbed Snot Without Plot (SWP) by the author, Mad Server.

Now, with more than 30 hilarious little... well, sneezes, mostly on the part of Dean, but some good contributions from Sam, these drabbles never fail to bring a smile to my face. (Along with the more-than-occasional 'Ew.... Gross!') So, give 'em a read - and be sure to bring some tissues!

Cats Fic - A Passion of Loneliness

Two or three years back, likely during the last time I was writing Cats fanfiction, I came across an supportive fellow author by the name of Aevany Storm. As I do with many who review my own fanfiction, I read many of hers, among which I found a story I especially loved.

Exotica, the young cat ever on the fringes of Jellicle life, has long grown accustomed to being alone. In fact, it has become a passion, this loneliness, something to which she tenaciously clings. When Macavity defects, after swearing revenge against the tribe, Exotica follows him, for reasons all her own - this is her story...

While the author of this tale has since changed her name to Maudey, A Passion of Loneliness remains, in my mind, a lovely, bittersweet tale well-worthy of its place as this week's Fandom Pick.

SG-1 Fic - This Cannot Be Happening

A member of SG-1 steps through the Stargate, her arms wrapped protectively around a young boy... Oh, did I happen to mention that the major in question was already on base and had neither a tan nor that long hair? But the arrival of the second Samantha Carter and her son is only the beginning, as Sam soon finds herself stranded in the other Carter's reality!

Cleverly utilizing those problematic Quantum Mirrors and a cast of lovable alternate characters that are almost-but-not-quite like our own, This Cannot Be Happening is easily one of my most favorite Sam/Jack fics to date.

SN Fic - A Supernatural Day

This light-hearted one shot with our boys was written by my best friend Ebbtide. It never fails to make me smile, regardless of how often I read it, so it's only natural that I share it here.

SG-1 Fic - Steadfast

It would seem that Mondays have become "Fandom Pick Monday", huh? Though, it wasn't necessarily intended, it'll work for now, especially since I'm not entirely sure how much internet access I will have over the next month or so.

This next pick is one that I absolutely fell in love with. A story of unrequited love and devotion from a POV that I, myself, never would have considered. It's short and sweet - and a must read for Daniel lovers anywhere.

SN Fic - Just Your Average Hunt

I struggled a bit with what I should choose for this first post, but after a bit, I finally consulted my favorites list and chose this lovely one shot by a friend of mine who was so kind as to highlight me, of all people, as the Fanfic Writer of the Week on her Podcast recently. Since I've a love for humor, I thought this darling little fic was perfect for the first Pick.
