Newbi - Fan Fiction recs

[mandy1811]

Hi

I am very new to fanfict and was given the Enterprise dvds as a gift and just love trip and t'pol, I am looking for recs on long adult fan fiction, not do dark, and especially any fic where Soval finds out about there relationship.

The more the recs the better, have alot of free time right now
thanks again Mandi

Hy mandy1811!

I myself tend not to read much by way of "adult" but here are two series (one complete, one in progress) that I think everyone on the site enjoys reading, and I highly recommend:

Distracted's Virtual Seasons Five and Six
Rigil Kent's Endeavour series

Link

Anything by Blackn'blue

Anything by me including Star Trek: Foundations

Anything by Dinah

Epiphany and Last Dance by KRN

Anything by Rigil Kent, though his Endeavour stuff has more done on it.

I'd also recommend The Lerteiran Chronicals by Blackn'blue and Distracted

There's also Star Trek: Birthright by koinekid, another ENT reboot

And just for the hell of it, I'd recommend Avalon, which is its own original series set in the far future of the trek universe.

for more of a warm fuzzy there's Hopeful Romantics' 'Reconnecting' series

Honestly, you can just start at the top and read your way through them all

welcome to the genre!

Anything by Peter Simons (try "Healing the Mind" or any of the "Mind" ones),
anything by Rigil Kent, beginning with "Esylium" (probably spelled wrong),
T'Leela's "And Having Writ . . .," which is a finale fix,
Anything by enterprikayak,
Anything by Alelou,
Elessar's "Bloodlines, Telluride," "Your Mom and Me Part II," (long ones) "I'll Go First," "Comited to the Wind" (short ones) and the rest IF HE WOULD FINISH IT (hint, hint !!!!)

And it sounds like you would be a big Linda fan, she is the Vulcan expert here. Ask her which one's of hers have Soval. She's written a ton, and they are very nice!

How did I forget "Rainbow's Foot" by Shouldknowbetter?

OH anything by THECursor, try "Mom, Dad, and Self-sealing Stem Bolts."

[justTripn]

How did I forget? Anything by Black 'n Blue. I loved Distracted's early stuff, including "No Greater Love" and "Charlie."

Welcome!

My first strong recommendation would be HopefulRomantic's Reconnecting series. She has a great style for storytelling that keeps you hooked. Also, this particular series covers both both characteristics you requested. But I'd basically go for anything she has written...

My second strong recommendation would be Rigil Kent's Endeavour series. It is an almost polar opposite to HR's sort of story, but it is just as awesome in quality.

You might also enjoy Aquila's, Kevin's, and Zane Gray's stories as well as the authors recommended above, most of which can be found in this link or in the Triaxian Silk fanfic page. Enjoy...

Hi Mandy you may also like Drogna's Desert Rose trip & T'Pol series of stories as well she's written several stories that are part of this series including one called Postcards from Deep Space one that's still a work in progress 5 chapters so far..

[Elessar]

WELCOME!

Let's see... I would recommend ShouldKnowBetter's series, JUSTTRIP'N's Forwards and Backwards/Heresy/etc series (awesome E2-AU universe) HR's series, every single story by Ragua and Distracted. Also, everyone loves it but it's unfinished - Wenya/Ludjin's "Clarity" MU series.

When you choose stories to read, I would also recommend evenly splitting between stuff written in 2002-2004 and stuff written 2004+ because stories written DURING Enterprise's first and second seasons have a decidedly different tone that stuff written during its 3rd and 4th when the 'ship got some ammo to play with. I don't mean in a bad way either... I actually LOVE stuff written in S1/S2 before writers had much to go on, it was incredibly creative.

They are standalone, but some of the most inspirational stories to me were (search by title in the archive):

Cry Havoc (LONG!)
Differential
The Firebrand
Mom, Dad, and Self-Sealing Stem-Bolts
Cheese, and Other Interesting Smells

Oh and of COURSE, all of MY stuff . At least I had one cheerleader telling you to read me . My favorite series of mine (and it's decently long) is the Vulcan For... series.

hi, welcome!

All what they've said They're the real experts in fanfiction.

[Elessar]

Oh yeah, the only reason I didn't metnion any of BnB's stuff is cuz it's kinda dark and she said not too dark . But he is EXCELLENTLY talented. One of our superstars

Yes, how did I forget "The Firebrand" by Cinoflex and "Cheese and other Interesting Smells" by Linda? Classics!

as many of you already know, The Firebrand was the inspiration for my "Vulcan for Second Date"
