I think this might end up as a massive comment, but who cares.
I have to agree on minka_g fic, because, damn, that woman knows how to write and I am waiting for the day she starts writing again. She is also one of the few people that make me think that I just can't compete with native English speakers. I just can't. You, people, have a way with words that I might never get. I'll just have to expatriate myself in England one of these days (secret dream of mine).
So if I had to chose a favorite multi-chaptered fic (yeah, because who needs "u"s everywhere? *shakes head* ah, English people...), what would it be..? That's incredibly hard... But I'd go for tingedwords & koboshi_ichigo 's Learning (F-Locked). It's freakishly long and I've read it at least four or five times already. It's so, so good. Deals with hard topics, but, it's pure genius. On a lighter note, I also have a soft spot of disorder_haven 's Grains of Paradise. I definitely love reading this one again and again to dive back into that little world. But really... Beautiful Killers and The End of my Prose (from deleted user reiyayel/matkashi or currently inactive bokunojinsei) have been on my fav list for a long time, even though they tend to be slightly more dramatic. And any fic from life_giver, because... it's her. I'd sell my body to her any day. Yeah. And I love the little world in Until Tomorrow. And if crucifyregret ever finishes her fic Forget Me Not, it might end up as one of my favorites, too... So no, I just can't chose a single fic.
When it comes to one-shots... Change of Plans by koboshi_ichigo , because it's oh so good. I love the way she writes. She should definitely write more often. And it's almost 10.000 words. Still a one-shot. A nice Christmas-y atmosphere that just makes you want to burrow in your bed with a warm mug of hot chocolate. But I do love aozoracomplex 's works, because whenever I read one of her one-shots, I feel like writing. It inspires me. It's poetic and beautiful. I love them. I might have a thing for It started with a cigarette. invisiblehabits has beautiful and heartbreaking fics, too... and for once, it's not a native speaker! And she needs to understand that her writing is beautiful so that she can write more. EDIT: Okay, and now that lady_sb mentionned Snowed in from Life_giver, I kind of have to admit Tell me a Secret was hot as hell. A bit more kinky than Snowed in, but still not exactly what one would expect..
I wouldn't even recommend my own fics, they aren't really good enough to me (I am aiming for better), though the last few ones are okay. But if I ever finish the one I have started with the despa boys, this might be one I'd like to recommend.
The thing I love the most with fanfiction is when I discover one, and get the feeling that it's gonna be good. I then start to read, and with a few lines, I get all excited because the writing is good, the plot line seems to be interesting, the characters look like they have a personality of their own, and if it makes me laugh, it's definitely a plus! I also love it when they are Bible-long. It gives me more time to get into the story, to imagine, to think of all those places, and I want to read more. And when they are so sad and beautiful that it tugs on my heart and make me cry... well, I kind of love that, too...
