Fic Recs?

[wildvision]

Hi, guys! I just finished rewatching the series, and I'm suddenly craving some fic. I've never really gotten into the fandom before, so I don't know which authors/stories/sites are good. Can anyone recommend me some? My favorite thing would be post-series Utena/Anthy, but I'd also really love some manga-verse fic. (Does anyone even write that

How about Untangled by Emilyenrose?

[wildvision]

That was lovely, thank you! <3

Can't help you with Juri/Ruka and Utena/Touga because I'm really not a fan of either, but here are some Anthy/Utena and gen recs:
Jaquemart and other works by Alan Harnum, Earthbound by baeckahaesten, anything by Luc Court, Swanwhite, Kanna-Ophelia and fics here .

Hope you find something you like!

[wildvision]

Ooh, lots of fics! Thank you for the links. =D

[wildvision]

Oh man, I love veleda_k's stuff. <3 Those are wonderful. I haven't seen that series yet, but I plan to. So I'll save that link for later. Thank you! And do I spy another Yuugiou fan? =D

[wildvision]

Haha! Well, you're welcome to it. But I warn you, there are a fair number of ditzy fangirly posts. XD

Mangaverse fics doesn't almost (sadly) exists, since most utena fans is surprisingly very anti against the manga.
Fanfiction.net is a mine full of fanfic, just choose pairing, genre and look for fics with many reviews, they tend to be the better works!

I kinda figured there wouldn't be much...in my experience, fandoms with different anime and manga canons tend to have more work for the anime version. But I didn't know the fandom disliked the manga; that's too bad. I think it's a fun alternate version. ^^

I've begun poking through ff.net; it'll probably take me quite a while to get through it. XD

yeah, I agree, its a different version of Utena, but the Adolescence of Utena (move manga) is one of the best mangas Ive read so its sad that it doesnt get any love.

I think the main reason for why people dislike the manga so much is becuase manga-utena is mainly straight (at least in adolescence) and the fans prefer a more lesbian utena lol :p

[wildvision]

I don't remember the movie manga as well, but in the regular manga, I don't think she's any more straight than she is in the anime. *Shrugs* She reads as bi, to me. (That's just my opinion, of course.) But you could well be right...there is more het in the manga!

Still, I like it. I think it's neat to see how some characters differ from one version to another. Touga's probably the best example...he's decidedly not a nice person in the anime, but he's not as bad in the manga. I actually ended up liking him, there. Ruka's nicer, too. (Hence my hope for Utena/Touga or Juri/Ruka...I don't care for those pairings as much in the anime, if at all...but in the manga, I think they're plausible.)

Have you tried Dreiser? Her 'scenes from the elevator' is a hilarious crack fic on Utena, very fun.

Her other one shots are quite good too.

[wildvision]

Oh, my. XD Crack fic wasn't what I was expecting, but that's awesome. <3 Thank you!
