Farscape Reading List

[crushgroovin]

I've decided to give fanfiction a try, so I'm going to add this to the top of my journal for easy access. I'll update this post whenever someone recs me a story, or if I come across one that I particularly liked. If you rec something, please let me know about spoilers, as I have not finished the entire 4th season nor the mini series. I've now

Have you friended crack_van yet? They have some great Farscape recs in the memories.

I'll be back a little later with some specific recs, but I'll start you off with something that was recced to me when I first started reading Farscape fic:

In the Company of Ghosts by KodiakkeMax - spoilers up to season 3. Long and beautiful storytelling. Part 2, Part 3, Coda.

Matter of fact, read everything by this author. Can't go wrong there.

And once you've read Max, read Maayan, who just recently reposted links to her Farscape fic. Spoilers are listed in the author's notes, but these are all before the WSS trilogy--and you might find places where she deviates from canon because canon simply wasn't known at the time (such as details concerning John's sisters).

My favorites are Asystole (season 1), I Saw a Sybil in a Jar, Kansas, Sleep While I Drive and its prequel and sequel by Fialka.

I'm still trying to find GOOD Farscape FanFiction *g*
So far I have only one favorite author.
aeryncrichton.
she writes very in-character, and... I just like her stories *hee*

Here's a link to her website :

So far I've only read the We're so screwed Fillers at the end of the site, don't read them yet ! ;D
She has spoiler warnings on their FF's ... happy reading ;)

Thanks, I'll bookmark the site for future reading. I'm told there are quite a few good authors here on LJ, if you're looking. :)

*waves to _camgirl_* I got here from farscape_weekly. I hope you don't mind more recs.

Once you've read Max and Maayan, I would also recommend everything by Analise, especially Weight of the World, an epic story that is set in a world that went AU soon after the end of Season 2. (So, it has no spoilers for anything after the Season 3 "Self-Inflicted Wounds" arc.) In fact, it was actually *written* during early Season 3 (as were all the other stories by her), so any canon events/new information that we get after that is, of course, not included in the story.

Weight of the World was actually supposed to be the third part of an even longer epic, but Analise decided (quite rightly, I think) that the first two parts weren't necessary for the story, so only that part was officially posted. Still, because she got so many requests for the first two parts, she posted them elsewhere on her site, as well. I would definitely recommend that you read the actual story first, and only read the other two parts later as a sort of unofficial prequel, though. The story works

Whoops! LJ cut off my comment, because of bad coding. Sorry about that. *g* I meant to say:

(And now that I've looked in the crack_van memories, it looks like Weight of the World was the first Farscape fic recced there. Quite appropriate, I think. Still, this is one fic that deserves to be recced more than once.)

If you'd like, I can offer you links to some rec sites that list more great stories that you should read. There are a *lot* of good stories out there.

[crushgroovin]

Hello and welcome! *waves*

If you'd like, I can offer you links to some rec sites that list more great stories that you should read.
Would you really? I'd love that. I'm collecting all the links to start reading once I've finished the mini series, as I'm told Farscape withdrawal is something awful. :)

[veritykindle]

OK. I hope you mean what you are asking. *g*

*draws a big breath* Let's see how many sites I can remember, offhand.

First, let's do the LJ communities. Luckily, there aren't that many of them. (That I know of.)

crack_van has already been mentioned, and pretty much every fic in the memories of the Farscape recs is a really good one.

uncharted_tales is a community made specifically for fanfic about the earlier seasons, and older fanfic that people might have forgotten about. It's in hiatus now, but there have been a *lot* of good stories recced there.

farscapefriday is the Farscape weekly drabble community. It's been a lot quieter than it used to be, but there are still a lot of great short fanfic posted there.

farscape_weekly, you also probably know about. It's a great community to use to keep current with what's happening in the Farscape fandom -- especially useful to someone like me, who's been really out of touch with fandom for a while now. It has a section for the newest fics posted on LJ, as well as other LJ discussion about Farscape

[sugargroupie]

I'm going to go through my selection and see if there are any fics that haven't been recced on crack_van yet, and I'll post them. For now I'll just suggest that you add Leviathan as a bookmark. Some of the best fics are archived there.

[simplystars]

I've been keeping a fic recs thread at FMD (though I don't necessarily vouch for the other recs in there, some people have odd notions of what constitutes good fic... *blinks*. I haven't updated it since the Sprogathon, shame on me--I'll do it one of these days.

I've got the various ficathons and Sparkys nominations bookmarked in my LJ memories, too. :)
