All art is at once surface and symbol

From obabscribbler & rec_a_day:

Anyone is welcome to join in, even if you and I don't usually agree on pairings or hang out in the same circles. I'd like that, actually, to get a bit of variety going. Please don't feel shy or unwanted around here. ♥

Please link to the author's work (you don't have to stick to any of the major archives, anywhere is fine), include relevant information if possible (pairing, author, maybe any non-work-safe ratings if you feel up to it), and there is no time limit, this post will stand for as long as LJ is around.

1) Rec up to five of your favorite fics featuring your preferred pairing(s) or threesome(s).

2) Rec up to five of your favorite fics featuring your favorite character(s).

3) Rec up to five of your favorite authors who write your preferred pairing(s) or threesome(s) well.

4) Rec up to five of your favorite authors who write your favorite characters(s) well.

5) Rec up to five authors who you feel deserve more recognition for their fanfic contributions.

I hope by highlighting the up to part of these, people realise you don't HAVE to post five in response to any of these, nor do you HAVE to answer all five requests. One for just one of them would be fine. I'm looking to get as much variety here as possble, so post away.

( Here's What I Listed~ <333 )

I think I know why I've been so ticked at SatAM elitists lately--you see, Puri luffs being apart of shipwar/fandomwar. She'll go as far to say it's one of her main fandoms. So far, Puri has three socks: Michelle (Rabid fanbrat), Percival (Elitist critic), and Stephanie (Funky shipper). I've been bubbling up more ideas lately (even pondered having iheartmaria (Shadow) making cameo visits) came up with a sock that's even pissier than Percival and snotty to the point where it rivals even Missy: the 0ld*sk00l Purist.

Anything after 1999 or Nintendo 64? It sucks! The currently unnamed sock treats her NES + SNES like Holy Grails, and refuses to watch or read ANYTHING but 80s/90s television and movies and books. (And yes, she's one of those people who thinks the new Simpsons suck) She tends to think popular things suck, so if you thought Percy hated Shadow the Hedgehog, just WAIT until you see the new sock. (Poor Shadow, I gave him two people who want to skin him and a drooling fanbrat. *giggle*) She's also a parody of rabid Sonic folk, the people who think everything after Dreamcast is shit while treating their SEGA Genesis, early Archie comics, and SatAM cartoon as pure gold. Did I mention she likes Sally Acorn and Sonic/Sally, while abhorring Amy Rose's guts?

There's just one problem: Puri's only seen the first three episodes of SatAM.

How the heck am I supposed to play her if I don't even know the characters of her all-time favorite series? The SatAM DVD boxset doesn't come until the 27th, and I sure as heck am not spoiling myself on crappy screen quality on YouTube. It's not fun imagining her arguments in my head and not knowing where to go. :( So instead of having fun like I normally do with Michelle and Percy, I end up warping back to realtime SatAM wank and it makes me upset.

So...
