Hi my name is tvgirlSVM and I'm an SVM addict ...
What was the first fanfiction story you read?
I came late to the SVM party by way of getting into True Blood mid-way through Season 2 in 2009 and reading the SVM books that summer all the way through Dead and Gone. In Sept. ’09 I was looking for something to tide me over during the year-long wait *groan* for more TB and SVM and decided to check out fanfiction.com. Dying to Know by Hellbunnyofdoom just happened to be the most recently updated, and therefore top-of-the list story when I browsed SVM and Eric/Sookie. I originally searched out post-DaG fics, but eventually (thankfully!) ran out of those and found all the post-FDtW wonders of Terri Botta, Meg2, FarDareisMai2 and more (see Scribeninja’s Old School Fics post.What are typical characteristics of the stories you like to read?
I generally prefer Eric/Sookie pairings, although I’ve made an exception here or there for Alcide, or travels through history with Eric and Pam. I’m an odd duck – I love the angsty ones. I feel like the HEAs are better pay-offs after all that turmoil. And I do like HEAs! I originally stuck to canon-fics when I started reading, and I think I might still generally prefer Vamp Eric/Human Sookie fics, especially “what if” stories that insert themselves somewhere in the book series and set off on a different path (What if Bubba didn’t interrupt Eric and Sooks in Club Dead? What if Bill died in the Fairy War? etc.). But there are so many great AH fics out there now, it hardly seems fair to restrict oneself to canon-only. Angst, lemons, romance, mystery. I like it all! I’m a whore like that >:)Name ten fics (SVM, TB or other) you are reading right now.
- Halo Effect by MissusT
- The Sequel by sarita.alex
- April Showers by kittensandcombatboots
- Better Man by seastarr08
- Terminal Attraction by Lubadub
- Eric and Pam’s Excellent Adventure by Lubstarr
- Never Say Never by Scribeninja
- Drained by Suki59
- Buried Alive by Love by makesmyheadspin
- Addicted to Love by BonTempsBaby
Recommend one fic and tell us why you like it.
The Amateur by seastarr08 , which is part of the “Professor Sex” series (The Expert, The Amateur and Professor Northman’s Extra Credit Assignments). The development of these AH versions of Eric and Sookie is superb from start to finish. I aspire to have a relationship like The Northmans’. They are open, honest, warm and amazingly funny with each other. And sexy. Very, very sexy. *sigh* In fact, I love the whole Northman clan so much seastarr08 pitied me enough to insert me in the story along the way. You’ll have to read the Extra Credit Assignments to find me.--------------------------------------------------------
... and that's it for 2010. This section isn't going away and I look forward to adding more SVM Addict confessions in the new year. I also hope that we will be able to do more collaboration posts too. So please be on the lookout for more and I hope you enjoyed this.
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.
