But I haven't! I've been quietly making a list and taking names so that I could pull together another post of fic recommendations, and here it is at last.

It’s been fairly quiet on the fic front over the last few weeks, but there have been a few things posted which I think you might want to check out if you haven’t already.
(As usual, it’s not a comprehensive list, just the stuff ... yadda, yadda...)



By [livejournal.com profile] cantbesilent

Three Degrees of Failing
, a Donna pov post-ep for King Corn
Okay; Josh at Donna’s bedside in Germany.
The Championship; Josh, Donna and their kids – a really good piece of kidfic!

By [livejournal.com profile] imperviousness

Coffee Black and Egg White
a “future” fic in which Donna deals with the fact that she may have PTSD, and
Negative Charges
, set post The Al Smith Dinner

Here’s a new campaign era fic by [livejournal.com profile] anita_coffee
Telling Lies
and
A Good Canary by [livejournal.com profile] falseeeyelashes is set S2. It's very angsty and Josh and Donna are definitely NOT happy bunnies, so if that’s not your thing, give it a miss!


Here are a few fics from a while ago that you might not have come across before by [livejournal.com profile] fated_addiction. I meant to have recommended her stuff before but (and sorry, if you read this, Chrissy!) her tagging’s a bit erratic and I just haven’t been able to find it all before now. But Quaggy reminded me about her stuff, so I’ve dug it up. Sadly, there are a number of unfinished fics and series, and I’ve included some of them here, in case you want to read them anyway (they’re complete unless I’ve said otherwise):

Anniversary
Balance
A Simple Girl
The Progression of a Non-Romance

She began a sequel, a five part series, which isn’t finished as far as I can see…
If you want to read the two parts that were completed, they’re here:

Wooing: Why it’s not for everybody part 1, part 2

The Course Catalogue

Segments
Voyeur

She started a set of three series of fics, one each from Josh’s pov, Donna’s pov and Sam’s pov. The first set, On Semantics is from Sam’s pov:

On Semantics part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6.

The second, On Philosophy, is Josh’s pov:
part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7.

Both these series look at the same events from different points of view - the basic premise is that Josh and Donna realise they have..."something"... but Sam has asked Donna to go work for him in California, which she's going to do.

The bad news, is that the third set, Donna’s pov On Devotionwas never finished.
But the three parts that were written are here, if you want to read them:
part 1, part 2, part 3,

And here are a some ficlets: here - post "Running Mates", The Thing and Apple Picking

Maybe if enough of you read and pester her, she might consider completing some of the unfinished stuff, or writing some more!

Also, thanks to Sharon for pointing me in the direction of this fic; Vacation Revelations, which is posted at JDFF. It’s not a Hawaii fic – it was actually written years ago, sometime in S2 I guess, but Josh and Donna are a couple and are on the way to the wedding of one of Josh’s cousins. ‘Fanon’ has it that Josh doesn’t have any relatives other than his mother, so yes, this is a little different, but it’s still well written and the characterization and dialogue are good, so it’s well worth a read. Message numbers at JDFF are: #9002, #9027, #9057, #9078, #9091, #9252, #9338 and #9362. (Let me know if you want to read it and you’re not a member there.)

And [livejournal.com profile] christinekh is nearing the end of her fabulous series Coming Back to You (two chapters to go), so if you’ve been holding off reading it because it wasn’t finished, it’s probably safe to start reading it now! It’s at her LJ, or will be up at her site once its finished.

Oh, and I’ve updated the list of author’s sites I made here - there are a couple of sites I forgot to add in first time round, and also both [livejournal.com profile] quaggy_mire and [livejournal.com profile] cantbesilent have made lists of fic links for their stuff, and I've added those links as well.
Aaaaand, I made a list of all my rec posts and put them in one handy place which I'll update as and when.

As usual, I think I've checked all the links, but please let me know if there are any that don't work!

You're welcome. I like searching stuff out and weeding out the crap! And I'm glad you liked mine - was that the latest one? I've got a couple more finished and another one on the go ... I can't seem to stop!

Yey for Bank Holidays, well until 2 anyway.

I'm going to see 'Snakes on a Plane' at the matinee. I figure if I go then everybody else is at work so nobody will see me going in lol.

Thanks again for doing this. You don't know how grateful I am.

‘Fanon’ has it that Josh doesn’t have any relatives other than his mother

Is there a reason for this or is it just something one author assumed and everybody else picked up on?

From: [identity profile] caz963.livejournal.com
You're welcome :) - and I have no idea about the relatives thing, but I would hazard a guess from the fact that we know one of Josh's grandfathers was in Birkenau that it's a fairly safe bet that some of his other relatives were as well, which I think accounts for the oft-made assumption about Josh's family. I don't know of any other references in canon to his having no other relatives, though.

Thanks. I thought it might be the grandfather in Birkenau that had started that, but I couldn't think of anything else to indicate he had no other relatives at all. For some reason I find fanon and how it develops fascinating, but I like to know the difference between fanon and canon.

I've got absolutely nothing to do today, so I'll be wandering through some of these later. Thanks for this. :)

You're welcome, on both counts! Have fun :)
