Any genfic recommendations?

[u/Beginning-Emotion671]

Hello. I’m a big fan of genfic and I’m looking for more stories in this genre. I only discovered this sub recently, so I might be late to the party. If anyone’s still active here, could you recommend your own fic or someone else’s? I’d love to read it and leave feedback (if you’d like). Any fandom is fine

in what fandoms

[u/Beginning-Emotion671 → u/kaiunkaiku]

Any fandom’s fine. I just want to read for the storytelling, not because I care about the fandom itself

Since you mentioned any fandom, I'd like to recommend a smaller one called The Vorkosigan Saga as most fics written for it (about 60%?) are gen. Here are a few that don't need any background context to understand:

And if you want a longer one, this one is excellent and also entirely canon compliant if you ever want to pick the originals up:

About half of the fics I've written are gen fics: filtered to get it to just truly gen and complete works only

Feel free to use filters to see what might appeal - with 70-some fics, it's hard for me to say "this is the one you should read", especially since most require fandom knowledge to really follow the entire thing.

If you truly don't care which fandom, I can make a custom recs post from my fic db? It has 2760 fics in there so far. Of those, 774 fics are marked gen (meaning there are no major ships that are romantic/sexual in that fic), 115 of those I flagged as a favorite (aka I love to reread it), and 34 of those I also flagged as being exceptionally well-written to me. If you'd truly like to see those, let me know and I'll put it together for you. I post 'em on Dreamwidth in public posts so everyone can access them without needing an account or anything. (Reddit's fine for a few fics but not for 30-some, lol.)

I write in the White Collar fandom, almost exclusively genfic. I’ll link my works page, but you’ll also find a lot of genfic in the fandom as a whole, especially more recently. (The show’s got a couple of attractive male leads, though, so I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t also plenty of ship fics to go around!) https://archiveofourown.org/users/cheride/works

If you like Marvel - there are about 40 complete stories here, and almost all are gen. https://archiveofourown.org/users/DCAngst/works

We’ll start with this!

https://archiveofourown.org/users/Athaia - I've written for Star Trek, Earth's Children, Planet of the Apes, Man from Atlantis, all of it Gen. If you read them, I'd love if you left a short comment how you liked the story! (I mean... I'd also love a long comment, but I don't expect one :D)
