Telling people why I think they would enjoy something is hard for me. How do I know whether they'll enjoy it? lol So I think I'll keep it to why I enjoy(ed) it!

1. On The Rails by Filiklepto

Seriously I love historical AU. I'm kind of a history buff, and I especially enjoy when an author puts a lot of time into learning and researching about a different period of time. It really shows! With this story in particular I think the Boys are as close to their real personalities as they can be given that some of them have the same profession, only many years earlier. It's a lovely story, I look forward to more of it.

2. Between the Lines by Carrie

I know everyone else has already mentioned this, but I had to include it too. This was one of the first AU fics I read and absolutely loved. It was part of what encouraged me to write in the genre. Again, it's a perfect example of someone who truly knows what they're talking about. There was never a doubt in my mind that everything she said about baseball was true. I find with a lot of canon fics there's a lot of incorrect assumptions about the music business, media, etc. Many AU fics are much better researched.

3. Whitmore Lake by Honey

The fact that I love a Brian fic should speak volumes about why I chose this. I don't love Brian fics lol
This is just one of those stories that I will never forget reading and just really stuck with me. It was a cute story and just a good read.

Carter-Orange:
I love On The Rails and Whitmore Lake too

On the Rails is an excellent fic!! God, I am so bad at remembering stories. I think i'll just come in and keep saying, "Oh yes! That one is awesome!" lol

That's so true, and it's one of the things I like about writing AU.  I am a stickler for doing research and making things believable, but I don't know that much about the music business, at least not from the perspective of someone who's in it, and it's a tough thing to research.  It's nice not to have to worry about writing about touring and recording and all that stuff in an AU.
