I've read the majority of the stories on this Top 25 Teen Wolf rec list, courtesy of TheSterekLibrary on Tumblr. Good stuff.

15/30: So, Teen Wolf 3.03
18/6/13 09:06Man, did Jeff Davis and Company go to Pacing School over the hiatus? By wasting zero seconds of screen time on Scott and Allison making out or werewolves doing the risible all-fours run through the woods, they actually have quality time for all the characters!

Some fic recs
6/3/13 20:33I've been reading a lot in the Teen Wolf fandom lately (a lot a lot). Here are three Sterek recs:
First, Last, and Always by sffan
Explicit rating
13,000 words
( Read more... )
this boy, half-destroyed by M_Leigh
Teen and up rating
25,600 words
( Read more... )
the blood blooms clean in you, ruby, also by M_Leigh
Teen and up rating
48,000 words
( Read more... )
In both of M_Leigh's stories there's a strong and cohesive plot thread involving Alphas and magic and all the most interesting things from canon. But what the author does better than the show's writers is make the story arise from the deeply flawed characters who inhabit it.
Both stories have that rare quality in fanfic: re-readability. I'm going back to re-read them tonight, in fact.

Narrative urgency: when your first sentence makes your reader want the second sentence, and your second sentence makes them want the third, and so on to the end.
It's brilliant, despite having been buried in THE MOST ANNOYING WRITING CLASS IN THE WORLD OMG, taught by an autodidact with pretensions of expertise because he writes a fairly prominent blog and has a novel coming out soon. And people like me sign up and pay good money to take his class. So, define "credentials", right? Anyway, someone who irritates me as much as this guy does probably has a lot to teach me.
( BUT NOT ABOUT GRAMMAR GODDAMMIT. )

30/8/12 10:46OMG THIS IS FANDOM PURGATORY
I want to do nothing but click through photoshoots, comment on pictures, read fic, watch eps, and work on my story, and I barely know what day it is and I don't give a shit, and any second now my supervisor is gonna come over here and say So did you accomplish ANYTHING while I was on vacation and I'll say, um, 3600 words of Sterek? and then I'll lose my job, then my house, then my internet connection FCS and then I'll die.
The end.

vampirefan has just posted the most amazing collection of Teen Wolf-related links.She's been driving the crack van for me, scouring Tumblr and lots of other resources for the juiciest gifs, publicity videos, stills, fic, podfic, fanvids, twitter accounts to follow--everything!
If you're even considering dipping a toe into TW fandom...well, watch out, because following even a tenth of these links will be like falling into the pool with Stiles and Derek and not being able to get out again.

So. Teen Wolf, huh?
8/8/12 17:38HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
*eyesravurian eyeingly*
I started watching Teen Wolf just...let's see here...three weeks ago. I completely dismissed it based on all the obvious things--its title, its promotional images, its general air of dumbness. Really, I need to remember that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" sounded just as stupid in its day.
Now, TW is not quite Joss, but I gotta say after this week's episode "Battlefield" that it's starting to think about approaching that standard. I have mainlined all 23 extant episodes--several of them twice--in the past three weeks, and have luredvampirefan into the pack. I am reading fanfic. I am considering writing fanfic. You know how rare that is.
I know everyone else is already watching it, so I won't prose on. I just want to add that the sixteen-year-old in me has a huge crush on Jackson, the thirty-year-old in me is hot for Derek, and the timeless winged being of my soul adores Stiles.
Stiles is Willow and Giles and a bit of Xander all rolled into one perfectly heroic best friend character, played by a boy with a beautiful face and his heart on his sleeve, and I just love him so.
(And so does Derek. All the fic says so, and I agree.)
