My Latter-Year Recs for Bistocon

Aug 10, 2024 23:59

The virtual Bistocon took place this weekend. At previous Bistocons, the rec panels have often been dominated by older zine-era fics, classics of Pros fandom. This year, for a change, the con com asked people to recommend fics published in 2010 and later. I don't feel that newer fics have been underrepresented among my recs, particularly.

I hope you enjoy them.

ETA: In case it was not clear, as it wasn’t to BSL initially, these are the recs I prepared to draw from during the panel, not the list of everyone’s panel recs. That can be found in the Discord, and I will post it on LJ later today, if nobody else has done it.

Yes, two different lists - got it!

Ok, circling back to both of the lists. My plan is to dive into some reading this month. To that end, I'm selecting the two Gen, Short Fics from this list.

I'll check out the Discord collection from the panel to find 1-2 additional titles to round out August. Thanks again for facilitating the recs!

I think you have already read As You Now Are In Your Blood. (You left kudos.) For me it rewards rereading, though, so maybe for you, too.

Oops. Yeah. I’ve changed the title to be clearer. The ones from the panel are posted on the Discord, but maybe I will post them on LJ later today. I think I have standing to do that, as a leader of the panel?

Some interesting sounding stories. I've been somewhat away from the fandom for awhile. This might be the thing to draw me back. Thanks!

Still currently off Lj for Reasons. But Easy Prey is one of my fav fics too - it's an honour to be included in such company.
