So...  

I finally broke down and got a Kindle.  It's on its way! Whee!

One of the things I absolutely love about the Kindle is that you can put your own doc files on it which means reading fanfic on the go anytime I want, Baby!  There are stories that I know I want (a certain Jade Empire fic comes to mind and would love for the delightful author to email me to whole fic...LOL, can you tell I'm buttering you up?) and I have some of them on my hard drive, but I would love for some recs for my beloved f-list.

The usually rules apply...I'm not one for anything above PG-13.  I am not having Keira find a fic and read it aloud, thank you very much. And no WIPs, I'll add them to my Kindle if the stories ever get finished.

My fandoms: Star Trek: TNG, ST:  Voyager (well, anything The Doctor), Stargate: Atlantis, Halo, Legend of Zelda, Star Trek Reboot, The X-Files, Jurassic Park, X-Men (movieverse), Sanctuary, Fringe, Star Wars, anything Pixar, Eleventh Hour, CSI (up to when Grissom left)...I'm sure there are more, so don't be afraid to throw them into the pot.

My style: Gen is always awesome, UST is good, Angst is great (but not too over the top, thank you), Humor is always a plus, Romance is good as long as there is an actual plot that goes with it and AU are made of win.

So, what fics are your guys ultimate "YOU HAVE GOT TO READ THIS" stories?

Share, share, share! :D :D

I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING THAR.

When I get off work, I can zip up the files and send them to you. I take it doc files is good? :3

As for recommendations... I'm not too active in the fandoms you listed. ^^; But if you want more Jade Empire... there are a couple of one-shots I read I could send your way. ;D (Most of the other fics I'd rec are WIP that may or may not ever finish...)

That would be awesomely fabulous! :D

Send any one-shots my way...I'll be having fun reading fanfic while the hubby is on XBox Live, LOL

I have a Sony eReader and I've been reading fanfic on it for almost a year now. I just love it. You're going to be so happy with your new toy! Congrats!

Thanks! I've been waiting about a year for it...thanks to a few GC to Amazon, it came in the price range I was looking for. :D

You'll have to tell me how that thing is. I want to get one. I don't read a lot of fanfic with having to read for school, but I will be playing catch up now that I am done. If I find any good ones, I'll send you the link on GW.

Thanks! I have my dozen or so HUGE novels of fanfic that I have on my hard drive but I'm really bad about saving the smaller stories, you know?

But I will totally let you know. :)

What's a Kindle?

My fave fanfics are Shep whump, so I take it you're not interested? :P

This is a Kindle

Well, if it's not fifteen paragraphs about watching blood ooze out of Sheppard. Ick. I'm such a wimp. :P

I am so going to read that one you rec'd on the JT thread. I had that one marked for reading for a while. :D

I never knew you could put your own docs on Kindle. Hrm. That definitely is more reason to buy one. Easier than printing fic and taking it with you.

Also, I love your Alton Brown icon. I had no idea you were such a big Food Network geek too. :D
