Confessions of a SVM Addict: SuzapaloozaFF

Sapfirerose SVM Addicts Wednesday, December 22, 2010

Blogger note: I met Suze on Twitter but it feels like I've known her forever. She has a couple of fanfiction stories for you to check out. Her first story, The Pact, won first place for public vote in the Poppin' Cherries contest. And then she went on to write the very popular A Royal Engagement. One is all human and the other is canon, and both are winners. Now as a reader, my girl doesn't do angst. Well, she reads some ... but only if the story is complete and the 'tolerable' angst is solved. So if you gasp at the idea of even calling yourself an 'angst-whore' then check out this confession and her recommendations. Fluffiness is guaranteed. Now let me stop the rambling and introduce you to my homie, SuzapaloozaFF ...

Hi my name is SuzapaloozaFF and I'm a SVM addict ...

What was your first fanfiction story?

Honestly, I have no clue. I found fanfiction when I started perusing the True Blood Wiki. There wasn't much there at the time, but I still read any canon Eric/Sookie fic I could find. I discovered fanfiction.net when I was reading Late by Morgaine Swann. Morgaine Swann made a note that she was updating the fic faster over there so I followed. I found the screen easier to read and whole world of fanfiction. I was ecstatic. It was probably ridiculously pathetic, but oh well. LOL

What are typical characteristics of the stories you like to read?

I'm a total sap, so I LOVE fluffy fics! Love them. And I prefer a more mature and less stubborn Sookie if I can get her. A playful Eric, or even better a playful Eric AND Sookie, is another favorite aspect. I also prefer canon or "what if" vamp fics, but I have read some really spectacular All-Human fics.

Name ten fics (SVM, TB or other) you are reading right now.

Recommend one fic and tell us why you like it.

I'm going to cheat a bit and recommend a series (It's complete too!) - Meg2's Post Dead and Gone series. It begins with Dead Wrong.

I love this series because Sookie grows up in this...a lot. She learns how to better use her telepathic gifts and she gets out of Bon Temps, instead of continually being stuck in this "I'm going to keep waitressing at Merlotte's no matter what" mentality. Good grief I can't stand that! She's sort of forced to give that up but it's for the best. She sees a lot of darkness in the human world from her career change, but I think it helps her to be more accepting of the vampire world, because it shows that there is evil in every species. The vamps certainly don't have the market on evil. She has some definite trials, and I'm sure Eric wants to drain her occasionally, because she can be very frustrating at times, but it's her learning process. And she does actually learn, and Eric helps her a lot with that. From that Sookie learns to trust Eric more and they grow closer.

... The SVM Addicts are a group of SVM fans who bravely confessed their fanfiction addiction to this blog to help tell a story about the great fanfiction we have in SVM World. You can find most of the addicts (about 22 of them) confessions posted here. In the next couple of weeks I'll be publishing the rest of the confessions I have right now.

The SVM Addicts group have turned into a little team for this blog who have helped to produce popular articles like SVM Addicts Take On: Alcide Herveaux and SVM Addicts Take On: Pamela Ravenscroft.

Going forward, I will be asking active SVM Fanfic readers if they would like to confess, instead of taking volunteers. I'm looking for folks who don't mind promoting others. And also would like to help produce more collaboration posts in the new year.
