The Infamous Gracious Plenty

In the SVM world of fanfiction there are times we come across that one Eric that we can't forget. As a matter of fact, that character becomes so unforgettable that many of us start referring to the fic by a nickname we have given that Eric.

I like to think of those characters as part of the Infamous Gracious Plenty, or Infamous GP. Erics in that list include The Professor, The Executive, Sexpert, and even more recently, EuroEric and Pilot E. Have you heard about these guys?

Why am I writing about them, you say? Well, it's part of a new feature for my blog.  I'm going to create a space on here for each Infamous GP you want to talk about.  All you have to do is comment on this page, and talk about the Erics in fanfiction you would like to see featured.

Each post, will contain an image interpretation of that Eric, some comments about who he is and where to find him for those fans who haven't read about him. I'll, also, add some comments and even some quotes. Then you can also comment on that Eric and add some of your favorite parts.

How does that sound?  So, the first Eric up will be posted in a day or two is The Professor from the House of Flesh on Fire fame.

Let me know who you like to see next!

Fanfictastic Friday 3/26

Thanks to all who submitted recommendations for FanFictastic Friday!

This feature is open to all fics so please feel free to share your favs of any fic. Multiple recommendations for the same fanfiction story is A-Okay.  The idea of Fanfictastic Friday is to let us know why YOU like the story.

Keep the recommendations coming! Click here, for info on Fanfictastic Friday.

The Big Easy: How To Cockblock Sgt Brad Colbert (SVM) bu Afalcone10
In this hilarious GK one-shot afalcone10 captures Ray Ray's voice brilliantly. It's a must-read for GK fans. Ray and the Iceman take on New Orleans! --TVgirl.Nicole

The Bitch & The Hellcat (SVM) by Zigster

I think it is hilariously funny. Sookie is feisty, Eric is sexy and sweet. They are hormonal teens with emotions a bit wild. Their awkward dance to get to know each other and be together is alternatley sweet and laugh out loud.  They each have non-traditional families.  Zigs has created some great original characters, too. --Northwomn

Carnival of Rust (SVM) by MalannaThis story sucks you in and won't let you go!  The story is told through flashbacks/memories and is totally unique, I haven't read anything yet that is comparable.  Plus Malanna always links songs with her chapters that match the mood/events perfectly.  Check it out, I know that you will love it! --SamaraReads

Divine Comedy (SVM) by SVMaddict

If you are part of the group that's waiting for the release of Clash of the Titans next week (Release the Kraken!), then you are going to love this fic! In her first multi-chapter story, SVMaddict has found a way to merge our fav SVM characters with Greek Mythology. The setting is modern day Greece and Sookie's life gets a bit of sprucing up as a few ancient gods meddle. Go Team Zeus! --Sapfirerose

Domino Effect (SVM) by Stealingdreams

This fic takes place after the bombing in Rhodes. In this spin, instead of running & blaming vampire politics for the drama in her life, Sookie realizes that humans are to blame & perhaps she needs to stop running from the supernatural world. What? Sookie growing up!?! I know! It's very well written & I adore the scene between Eric & Sookie in chapter 2. This is what should have happened in ATD. --Seasonblogs

Fixing The Problem (SVM) by ColourBlonde

Sassy Sookie, snarky Pam, mischeivious Amelia and (of course) arrogant Eric get together for some body swapping mayhem. I had more than a few laugh out loud moments with this. --Janofarc

The Heat is in the Tools (SVM) by Miss Construed

Miss Construed (aka msconstrarsgard on Twitter) is an amazing writer! This story is totally making me fall in love with Alcide! --Lubadub

My Last First Date (SVM) by LindsayK

I feel the need to continue my Alcide love affair with my recommendations today.  MLFD is (a) sweet and touching and (b) so UNFing hot!! --Lubadub

Need (SVM) by Sheba6086
It's an Eric and Sookie pairing, vampire human, rated M and largely canon. Why I like it so much:
1. Incredibly imaginative plotlines, stuff you just would never think of and it works so well.
2. Excellent combination of action, angst, romance and lemons. The romantic pieces are extremely well done.
3. Lemons fit the the plot not the other way around!!! And they are not 'sex manual' type scenes or full of cringing cliche. The amount of lemon added to the recipe is perfect.
4. Fantastic imagery
5. A staggering amount of research has gone into this story and it really shows.
6. The flower messages - you'll have to read it to find out what I mean :)
7. Very cool original characters
8. Pam plays a bit part and I love Pam
9. Nice long chapters and lots of 'em
10. It's complete so no waiting for updates
and finally...if you love it you can bid on the author, except you won't win cos she's mine :)
 --Alison at Northman Maille

Pour Some Sugar On Me (SVM) by BonTempsBaby

BonTempsBaby's completed cannon, post-FDTW fic (written before DAG). 1,000+ reviews! Sookie and Eric ACTUALLY get together. Of course, it's not all easy... many try to get in the way of their happiness... (i.e that smarmy Victor Madden). Not Sir Robert, though. Robert is one of my fave OCs (original characters) in our fanficdom. He's up there with Seastarr08's Max and Meg2's Cadel. And old friend and "brother" of Eric's, Robert is a Knights Templar.  Does that peak your curiousity? It should!  Please also read the un-complete Addicted to Love - sequel to Pour Some Sugar On Me. --TVgirl.Nicole

StudyBuddies (SVM) by LindsayK

This is my go to happy story. Linsday is the master at what she does, and she has created a true winner here. Nerdstud Eric is like my dream date. He's so adorkable and sweet and sexy all at the same time. Her take on Sookie is also an interesting one that I really enjoy. I always go back and re-read this when I'm feeling down about anything.  If you want something that is really sweet, really creative and just an all around great read, then Studybuddies is the one for you! --A Redhead Thing

Daily Fanfiction Updates 3/19

Today was a busy day for updates! It looks like the Daily Fanfiction Updates post is picking up.  Most of the writers below submitted their updates and so there's a lot more chapter summaries this time.  I have to admit, I can't wait to read these updates! If you want to be included in tomorrow's update post, click here.

Over the Hills and Far Away by Greenlemons
Updated Fic:  Sookie has left Eric back in Monaco and is now meeting up with Amelia in Barcelona. What happens when Amelia informs our heroine that her cheating ex-boyfriend has been waiting for her here? Will she tell Bill she's pregnant? Will she tell him about her sexy Swedish travelling buddy Eric, who could also, potentially be, the father to her unborn child? Breaking News: In addition to the above chapter, Greenlemons posted chapter 11. So that makes 2 updates today!
 
Fighting Against Fate by Sunkisz
Updated Fic:  It was almost instant, the change in the atmosphere. Her breathing picked up a bit, and her eyes softened slightly. "Eric..." she said, her chin tilting towards me in invitation. I took it, and brushed my lips against hers, taking this slow, trying to keep myself from pushing her back on the bed and taking over.

Colorado Summers Redux by AshleySue
Updated Fic: Chapter 10 marks the point after the original one-shot from the Cowboy Up contest. Eric and Sookie are a couple and they get back to duties on the ranch. What will the family and friends on the Stackhouse Ranch think of the new couple? What will happen now that Bill has shown his true colors?

The Amateur by Seastarr08
Updated Fic: Chapter 25.  A bit of drama is followed by some good news?

Blood on the Moon by Vicvega66

The Dead and All the Dying by LaniLani
Updated Fic: AU. Sookie gets tired of Bon Temps, and on impulse decides to hit the road, looking for an adventure, which is exactly what she finds the minute a vampire takes her for a ride.

Fanfictastic Friday 3/19

Thanks to all who submitted recommendations for the first FanFictastic Friday post!  I will start promoting the form periodically through the week, so keep the recommendations coming! Click here, for info on Fanfictastic Friday.


The Amateur (SVM) by Seastarr08
"The Amateur, which is the sequel to The Expert (which I also recommend!!!), has one of my favorite versions of a Northman family in fanficdom. It's AH/AU, deliciously sexy, funny and smart."  --TVgirl.Nicole

Deviation (Twi) by Kyrene Once Blood Roses
"A beautifully written one shot that takes you out of your comfort zone and then back again. One little fall. One deviation and it all gets spun off course. But sometimes things just need a small push to fall back into place."  --Fardareismai2

The Expert (SVM) by Seastarr08
"The first edition in Seastarr08's Northman Family Series is an awesome story.  I was pretty much roped in even before we first see the term "The Sexpert" used.  The banter between the two is awesome and it just makes these two the most open, communicative couple I've read yet. This story is completed and there's a sequel currently on-going, The Amateur.  You'll want to check that out, too, and find out what it takes to be a Northman" --Sapfirerose

The FStop (SVM) by Pixiegiggles
"Do you like plaid, Nutella and Eric Northman? This story is for you then! By turns sweet and tender, sad, and funny, it has something for everyone. Fall in love with EN star of the hit show Fiends, and photographer Sookie!"  --A Redhead Thing

Graveyard of Good Intentions: Redux (SVM) by Lindsay K
"This one has all the right fixings for a good teen angst story.  It reminds you of an 70-80's young adult book and movies about teen angst, like Pretty in Pink. Have you ever read Judy Blume's Forever or Norma Klien's It's Okay If You Don't Love Me? You pretty much fall in love with every character.  LindsayK recently completed this story and I have to say, the ending was just perfect."  --Sapfirerose

Halo Effect (SVM) by Missus T
"The wonderfully talented Missus T is writing this awesome story. It is original and clever. It's funny, touching, and Eric is downright swoonerific! If you want a fun little story, I suggest checking this one out." --A Redhead Thing

"I like this story because the story line is fun and I can totally picture Sookie and Eric in the setting.  In this story, Eric is a celebrity and Sookie bumps into his paparazzi crew and blanks out. And by blank out .. partial amnesia! She has barely left Eric's side since. What's not to like about that!" --Sapfirerose

Over the Hills and Far Away (SVM) by Greenlemons
"EuroEric! Even with a language barrier, he knows how to communicate what he wants and when.  With Greenlemons' story, I feel like I'm on the European trip with Sookie, enjoying the sites and sounds of Amsterdam, Brussels, and more!"  --Sapfirerose

Saints and Sinners (SVM) by Ericizmine
"This story is all kinds of good. It's hilarious and it keeps you on your toes.  There's a criminal/mystery plot that will remind you of Criminal Minds, and it's all -- that means 100% kit and kaboodle -- in Eric's point of view. I have been known to stop everything I'm doing to read a chapter of S&S. Not to mentioning reading chapter 21 while waiting in line to see Alice in Wonderland"  --Sapfirerose

Fanfictastic Friday: Recommend Fanfiction Stories

For those who are part of the Twitterverse, by now you've seen a Follow Friday or #FF tweet.  Follow Friday is sort of a game in Twitter where people recommend and call attention to their friends or followers by telling others to follow them.

Fanfictastic Friday is a similar concept, but instead of people you will recommend fanfiction!  All you have to do is fill out this simple form to shout out fics you are reading and let us know why you enjoy it!

All fanfiction stories are welcome! SVM, Twilight, Night Huntress ... you name it! We'll even take a good Sonic one if you have it. *snickers*

Daily Fanfic Updates 3/18

It's day 3 and I'm wondering if *tap tap* this thing on?  I hope you guys are enjoying these posts. A couple of writers submitted their chapters for this article, instead of me just posting the alerts I've received.  So I'm getting a little bit optimistic now.  Especially since I haven't read these stories yet, so now I have a few more for MY recommended list.  Enjoy!

Daily Fanfiction Updates 3/17

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Did you go out and have a pint or two at a bar, pub, or tavern?  I read a fic where the writer actually defined what a Tavern was.  It sounded quite Webster like.  Hmm.

Anyhoo ... courtesy of my Wonder Triplet @A_Redhead_Thing, here's a little ditty for the occasion "Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced" by Dropkick Murphy's.

Here are recent updates I have received.  If there's an update you think I could include in my daily blog, just add it to my list by filling out this form.

Daily Fanfiction Updates 3/16

Today marked the start of this blog and I'm already on my second post! *be's shocked at how fast I'm moving along*

My "Daily Fanfiction Updates" post is one of the blog features. If you look over to the right of your browser, you will see a form under "New Fics & Updates".  Here SVM writers can let me know when they have posted a new fic or update an on-going on.

I hope this will be a bonus for both readers AND writers.  Especially since fanfiction can suck at times and their alert tool breaks. It happens at least monthly. At. Least.

There are some great stories out there and now some are not on Fanfiction.net.  Like Malanna's fanfiction that she updates on her blog or the awesome pirate fic by Sunkisz called His Siren's Call. Who knows, you may find the next fic to read from this list.

OK .. enough of the chatter, here's the updates I received today.

Saints and Sinners by Ericizmine 
Updated Fic: Chapter 24

---------------------------------------------------

Dead Tired  by Ericizmine
Reposted Fic: Chapter 16

---------------------------------------------------

Carnival of Rust  by Malanna
Updated Fic: Chapter18

“Sook?”

I arched a questioning eyebrow at my brother.

“How much do you really know about this guy?”

“Aw, big brother, are you worried about me?” I replied a bit mockingly. It wasn’t like Jason to involve himself too deeply in my personal life.

He huffed at me, “Yeah, maybe I am. You’ve been acting kinda… off.”

I sighed, knowing it was the truth, but not wanting to get into it. The truth was, I barely understood why I’d been so off-kilter lately, so lacking in my usual control.

“I’m fine, Jase. Promise.” I glanced pointedly over at Amelia, then back to him. “Why don’t you worry a bit more about working through your own issues, and a little less about mine.”

It was a low blow, but if we were going to get personal, it worked both ways.

---------------------------------------------------

Eric by DeeDeeINFJ   
Updated Fic: Chapter 36

---------------------------------------------------

Halo Effect by MissusT   
Updated Fic:  Chapter 4

---------------------------------------------------

   
Shades of Dawn by AshleySue
Updated Fic: Chapter 5

---------------------------------------------------

Tasting Sin by Leia1912 
Updated Fic: Chapter 78

The bright ballroom lights were lowering now to a more intimate lighting, and more and more of the Supes were mingling together. The way to the restroom was clear, so I had no problem getting there.

Until the final steps, when I knocked shoulders with a man coming out of the men's room. I looked up and gasped at the hair that still stood out, a bright fiery red, in the dim lights.

Quinn's secretary. The brother of the man who was last seen dead at my house.

Oh, hell!

Time slowed. It felt like four months had passed. And then, abruptly, like a rubber band released, I snapped back to the present.

"Oh, hell!" I blurted out. What can I say? The Good Lord blessed me with a lot of things, but perfect restraint isn't one of them.

---------------------------------------------------

And finally.  This is a Night Huntress fanfiction, brought to you by our wonderful Trademare.  Enjoy!

My Dinner With Danny by Trademare   

Night Huntress (the NH vamps and ghouls need love too, ya know! ) Rodney and Danny Milton share a last meal, and a final goodbye.  An extended o/s of Gone, Chapter 5.

---------------------------------------------------

Not bad.  Tomorrow I hope to post around 8pm EST.  I'll send twitter updates along the day to remind folks.  If you did not get your update in, don't worry ... there's always tomorrow.  Also, since this is new, feel free to just promote your latest update on your stories. Click here for the form.

Lastly, I don't want to confuse this with Monday Teasers, so I will be changing the "Chapter Teaser" to "Chapter Blurb".  Just a small something to say what the chapter is about, or to describe your fic. It's up to you as this is optional and teasers can get too long for this purpose of this blog.

Sooo ... what do you think? Is there a fic you are waiting for an update on? 

Welcome to My SVM Addiction

Hi:  I'm Sapfirerose, in real life, Zee.  I'm thirty-something *winks* and I'm a Southern Vampires Mysteries (SVM) Fanfiction Addict.

I have been a fan of SVM since I saw my first episode of True Blood.  I started watching episodes of Sookie and the gang, and decided that I love the story and characters. Some time after the season ended, I started reading Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse Series Books and it only took me 2 months to devour the books before Season 2 of True Blood started.

It didn't take long for me to find fanfiction on the internet.  I never knew this world existed before, which is odd since I'm a Trekkie, I love comic book characters (X-men the most, but also the Justice League characters too), and I watch cartoons ... oh and anime, too.  So go figure. *shrugs*
