Must Reads??

[ratherbe4gotten.livejournal.com]

Ohh I'm so excited to find this community! I help run the spnstoryfinders comm for Supernatural and I was really hoping to find something similar for numb3rs!!

So I’m pretty new to the numb3rs fandom and I started thinking: in every fandom I've been in, there has been a handful of stories that everybody has read. These classics of the fandom are the kind that everybody's familiar with - except us newbies.

So what stories are the ones you'd nominate as classics? I’m mainly looking for slash or gen (feel free to rec me Don/Charlie). I love h/c, angst, first time, humor/crack... oh and kink, kink is a very good thing XD but mainly I'm just genuinely curious to learn which fics are considered the well-known, cut-above-the-rest ones.

Very many thanks in advance for any responses!

EDIT:

Also, is there a newsletter community for numb3rs, something like spnnewsletter?

Thank you! I know spikedluv from smallfandomfest. I'll definitely check out her guide!

Andi got here ahead of me; I was just coming here with a link for the Guide. *g*

Welcome to the fandom! We're pretty small compared to SPN. *g* As Andi said, I created A Guide to Numb3rs on LiveJournal for newbieguide; it has the all the Numb3rs comms listed.

I also second the suggestion to check out numb3rs_awards, both the nominated and winning fic. You'll find a lot of great stories there. (Links to past noms and winners can be found on the main page links section and on the profile.) And numb3rs_slash; we just finished a huge tagging project there, so everything is tagged by pairing and author (among other tags).

Additionally, I love to rec my personal favorites (which up til very recently has consisted mainly of Don/Charlie - I'm starting to branch out in both my reading and writing *g*) so you can find a bunch of recs in my journal if you're interested in checking them out. They're tagged as "fic rec: numb3rs".

Enjoy yourself! *g*

Thank you! I think I had forgotten how welcoming small fandoms can be XD The guide was exactly what I was looking for. I'm already finding loads of fic that I love!

I know how tedious tagging large numbers of posts can be so congratulations on getting it done at numb3rs_slash, it really is amazing helpful ♥

You're welcome! I'm glad you're finding a lot of great stuff to read. *g*

(I must admit that ladygray99 took on much of that tagging project for me, so most of the thanks go to her. *g*)
