Looking for some good authors...  
Coming late into the fandom, most of the fic I've found has been the result of following tags for particular pairs & characters or stealing bookmarks from those whom I subscribe to on Ao3. Mostly, however, it's been purely dumb luck.

I've found a handful of authors that do other (non-Clint/Natasha) pairings, characters, or gen that I adore (Tielan, Nyx & Olives, etc) but I'm sure I'm missing others just because I don't know where to look. And because I'm not looking for anything specific. I'm just looking for some good fic, the specifics not being as important as the quality.

(And since that's pretty subjective, well, you can see my dilemma. Google & Ao3 searches aren't built for that. *g*)

So I know this is primarily a Clint & Natasha community, but does anyone have any good Marvel author recs? (Unless it's pairing Coulson with anyone. I just can't... no. He's asexual and definitely NOT sleeping with Clint ::shudder::)

(Thank you in advance to anyone with recs! :))

[livejournal.com profile] topaz119 (topaz on AO3) is wonderful!

♥ to [livejournal.com profile] alphaflyer and I have a ton of bookmarks on pinboard, here (https://pinboard.in/u:topaz119/public/). I'm behind on getting things written up there, but I still have years and years worth of fic links.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] musesfool is super-organized and doesn't get behind--she does recs at the end of every month and has been leading me to great fic for a really long time now.

Musesfool! I don't think I realized she had monthly recs? I certainly like HER writing and have not been led astray by any fics I've seen her rec in the past (the way past. ;))

I am also looking forward to picking your bookmarks. :)

THANKS!

What I usually do is go through the AO3 bookmarks of authors whose fic I enjoyed. If I like what they wrote, I'm surely gonna like what they read, right? Works out well about 90% of the time ;)

I hope this helps :)

Oh trust me, I have done that. I just kinda got lost on who I'd looked at and what not. :)
