Where is the rum gone??

[jameva]

 Or more like where are the good stories gone. I'm in the mood for Gundam Wing and I had completely forgotten how hard it seems to be to find good stuff out there among all the Mary Sues and angtsy teenage angst. I could re-read old favorites but I want new stuff augh. I'm mostly a 1x2 shipper, although having Wufei around can be fun and team-focus gen is also for the win. Quatre and Trowa leave me more meh. Recs?

I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN SPACE TROOPERS. I swear. But seriously, I don't think I'll be able to finish it. It's turning out to be a bloody epic rewriting the game and I don't have a plan for it whatsoever. Maybe I'll downsize it to drabbles or oneshots in discontinuous order. It would fit my attention span more. >.> (I like the worldbuilding more than the actual action so sue me)

wish i could help you with the 1x2 but i haven't been reading in that fandom, just doing my own thing (at a glacial pace) so i have no new links. mel and christy have started updating some of their fics again if you like those and Sunhawk recently finished the Ion arc in case you weren't looking a few months ago... uh who else. i dunno. sorry. :X

re: space troopers, aw sad, but the 'verse is really neat and it'd be awesome to have ficlets and drabbles in it so yes plz do go down that route *__*

Newtypes is very heavily responsible for my sudden rekindling of the GW interest. Eeevil. :P Thanks for the names, I'll go forage. ^__^

(I like it too much to abandon it completely, so there is still hope..!)

ahaha whoops XD sorry sorry!

i went looking through AO3 and i haven't started reading this one yet but i was like... long... complete... and undercover preventers... CAGE MATCHES? i really hope it measures up to the ping it gave me from the summary. http://archiveofourown.org/works/885601

I did notice that one (ditto undercover cage matches!)! I started it, but something about the writing style threw me off a bit, so I moved it to the 'to be considered when in a different mindset' tab. AO3's GW archive is relatively small, considering.
