I haven't seen the movie yet, but Tumblr and AO3 are going crazy for it, and the fandom seems like a good fit for my tastes. Incidentally, 99 44/100ths of Kingsman fics are fix-it; apparently no fans are putting up with Harry's death. So unless the fics otherwise stray from the main storyline, I won't bother marking them AU. Also, all fics are Harry Hart/Eggsy Unwin unless noted otherwise. EDIT: finally watched the film on 8/14/15, and well worth the wait it was. However, I will now be looking for more gen fic, as the actual spy stuff was what appealed to me the most in the film.

( This ain't that kind of movie, bruv )

Even though I doubt that this will ever be a big fandom for me, I like the idea of it having a post of its own.
EDIT: Haha, who was I kidding about this being a small fandom? LAST UPDATED: 7/3/13

( You're waiting for a train )

I really liked the Reboot of Star Trek, and was moved to look up fic almost immediately after I went to see it in the theater. Luckily for me, there's been a lot of good fic out already; oddly, I was satisfied so quickly by the fandom that within months I was tired of looking for new stuff, so the recs here are all I'll be reading, ever (give or take a surprise). I also have a very few fics for Deep Space Nine and the Original Series.

( The oldest slash fandom, semi-officially )

After the movies came out, I really liked LotR. Believe me, I cannot get through the books, ever: by the second book, I'm down to reading only the parts when hobbits are around, because everyone else is boringly epic and purple-prosy. Since the women in Tolkien are essentially wallpaper with names, naturally excepting Eowyn, this is mostly, if not entirely, slash recs.

LAST EDIT: 3/26/14, for more The Hobbit fics. Note that some of those have multiple excellent female characters, for once. I am grateful for Tauriel's existence. My taste in The Hobbit fics runs down two tracks: humor, and Fix-it fic.

( Gondor has no king. Gondor *needs* no king. )

I don't have too many fics for Star Wars, but as one of the rare fandoms where I do occasionally find really excellent gen fics, it deserves its own post.
EDIT: 2/29/16. The 7th Star Wars movie was surprisingly good (in the model of the original trilogy, but with more humanization of the Stormtroopers) and spurred a desire for fics.
EDIT: Nov. 2023. Previous!me had no idea what a quagmire the sequel trilogy was going to get mired in. I have more fix-it fics, as well as some inspired by the show The Mandalorian.

( A long time ago, in a galaxy far away... )

Being an older fandom participant, I remember this trope back when it was commonly referred to as genderswitch. As times have changed and society's become more aware of the nuances of gender (with nonbinary, genderfluid and trans individuals educating us), some of the older fics in this genre might not have passed muster today; I try to bear in mind the date of publication. As for the mechanics, I'm equally happy to see always-a-different-gender as I am suddenly-by-magic-or-technology plots. I consider this trope to include physical changes to gender, as well as simple playing with gender expectations (ex. drag).

When I read physical genderbenders, I'm primarily looking for a specific set of plot threads, and will enjoy the fic if at least one of the following apply: the person learns about other genders and their societal preconceptions are adjusted; the person is no less capable now that they are a different gender; if kink is involved, it is actively the choice of the characters and not merely author fetishization; there is no enforcement of gender stereotypes.

Finally, all of these are included in their respective fandom posts - this post is simply for ease of access.
( I suppose Ranma 1/2 would be redundant to post here... )

It's difficult to admit, but I sometimes want nothing more than to read about a different world where those who identify as male have to handle all the inconveniences of pregnancy. Mpreg, as a trope, isn't for everyone, and I have to be in the right mood for it, but the recs below are for fics that pass my readability muster - in brief, mpreg is not an excuse to rewrite a character as stereotypically feminine, and the babies that result are no reason to turn the characters into mushy emotional wrecks. When fics are for a specific fandom, they will appear in the fandom recs as well... this post is just for conveniently concentrating them in one easy-to-find spot.

( Calling Mister Seahorse... )

I don't have too many small Movie fandoms, but they deserve their own post as of October '17, rather than being crowded into the Television post. If there's five or fewer fics, the fandom goes here.

( View with caution... )
