I’ve held off on
doing fan fiction recommendations in the past. I felt a little like a fraud
doing it. I’m a pretty slow reader and I haven’t been reading fic that long. In
the time it takes me to finish one, my friends go through at least five. I take
a lot of breaks to digest what I read, internalizing the characters feelings
and thinking about their actions. I re-read certain passages over and over
until I feel fully connected to the story. I also have a bad track record for
reading completion. I had a long list of half-read stories I’m still “working
on”.
All that said, I
still have opinions about the things I have actually read. Strong ones. I have
favourites and ones I hated, just like anyone else. Although I prefer to keep
my negative opinions out of public media (my poor friends are frequently
hassled at the oddest hours by texts messages about my fic rage though), I am
more than happy to share the ones I enjoyed.
I decided to
quickly run through my top five for your consideration. I’m not going to give
you full-on reviews, because that’s already been done. These are older titles.
Odds are, if you are a Twilight fan fiction reader yourself, you've already
read them. If not, I think you should.
