( cut for depression talk )

Fannish news: I've been reading LotR fic, rereading the book and watching the movies (in that order. *g*) I blame ratcreature. I read maybe two fics when the movies came out, so it's all new to me! It's also the first time I start in on a fandom via delicious, which is actually pretty cool. Of course it's probably pretty dead by now, but at least I can still find a lot of fic.

What's weird: I don't know what I want in this fandom yet. Usually I imprint on a genre / pairing early on, read everything there is and afterward expand into other stuff. But in LotR I read long gen fic, but then came upon those loooong elfsex pwps and liked at least some of them, too, then Legolas/Gimli, then the Boromir-Survives genre, then.... and I can't tell which I like best. I read book!verse and movie!verse. (I didn't read the RPF yet because I'm afraid I might like that, too, and I don't need another new fandom now.) I might be most impressed by fic quality here! Which is a first for me... *g*

So: Anyone got LotR recs? Fic, meta, vids, any genre? What did you like?
