Numb3rs Fanfic Finders

Hi and welcome to the fandom! /is also an SPN author so thanks you for running that comm!/

There is a newsletter: numb3rs_news. You'll find it's *way* lower traffic than you're used to in the SPN fandom.

You can also go to numb3rs_notice and look on January 1st of 2009 to find the Master List of Master Lists: a list of master lists from N3 authors. It's a good way to track down a lot of fic by a lot of good authors.

The show's on Season 5 so plenty of good fic to catch up on. I'd look at past winners at numb3rs_awards.

The one de rigueur Don/Charlie fic in this fandom is Parallel Connections over Symmetric Spaces. Mostly because it was the first huge Don/Charlie shame epic in 2005 - the one that made so many cestfic fans out of people who didn't read cestfic previously.

Past that the authors that used to be big in the fandom were dsudis, audrarose (both names you might know from SPN now) and missmollyetc. Pretty much all of their old N3 fic is what people are going to have you read. I also personally like knotted_rose and raeyashi even though they don't have much, what they have is very good. If you like comment porn, we have two Queens of Comment Porn who write together: penguingal (aka Mags) and schnaucl (aka Cyn). They have long fic posted at Mags' comm penguin_fics and Cyn has her solo work at den_of_cyn.

If you like short fic, I'm going to take a moment to pimp the comm I comod: numb3rs100. If you click on the Table of Contents link on the home page it will take you to more links including a list of N100 authors (different from the Master List of Master Lists so helpful) and a the Drabble Series Master List, which is a great way to get into some authors universes.

A lot of our authors write at rounds_of_kink so you might want to check the tags there for kinky N3 fic. We're one of the well represented fandoms at that comm so there should be quite a bit there.

I'm sure other people will come along and rec individual fic to you - and I wish I had time for that - but I figured I'd at least come and say welcome and point you in a direction to begin. I heartily suggest you check the archives of this comm. Past posts will net you a link to Parallel Connections. (Beware it's SERIOUSLY long.)

There's more, of course, but hitting the archives of numb3rs_slash in 2005 will go a long way to getting you caught up on the classics of the fandom. It's where we all tend to gravitate back when it comes to Don/Charlie.

Oh and if you like that pairing, check out eppescest. It's the pairing specific comm for them.

Good luck and welcome! Happy to finally have an SPN person come here when we've sent so many the other way. ;-)
