A Potential Reader seeking more of the same to help her start Reading

[lar_laughs]

In my post this morning, I may have mistakenly ruffled a few feathers. I was not writing to you as a friend's list of writers. I know most of you are writers and I like your stories. I've read a good majority of them and, if I haven't always read all of them, it's because there are times in my life when I'm too busy to do much more than scan my flist. I need to be better at bookmarking and I have a "my eyes only" post on the top of my journal that I'll start using. You are all good writers and I have the utmost respect for all of you. That's one of the reasons we're friends!

Okay, so I need you to think as readers. Have you read anything as a reader that you really enjoyed? Is there a community where you find good stories? I've got drabbles covered. I'm looking for longer stories. That's what I don't read enough of. I've got plenty of drabbles to keep me company. It's a genre I know well.

Once again, I am not critiquing any of you. I'm just wanting something to read.

I have half an idea to make an actual recs post one day - right after I complete everything I'm committed to challenge wise, write more fic, and make a masterpost of my own fic...at the moment I just add to (private) memories or favourites or bookmark depending on which site I'm on. So I can find stuff again eventually but not without going through and re-reading it to see why I liked it so much in the first place.

I'd rec anything by pristineungift who writes Legend of the Seeker fic, all Rahl and Mord'Sith centric. Her epic Blood From A Stone is amazing but I don't think it'll make much sense without knowing the series better since it starts late season 2 and then veers off as AU but constant nods to the overall canon storyline. (I gave the ff.net link because I found it easier to track new chapters there than here at her LJ)

Do you happen to know what book Season 2 is from? I do plan on watching the show later this year (which is getting closer and closer and closer) so I will put a note to get back to this! Thanks!

I think it's mostly based around "Stone of Tears" the second book in the series.
