My Latter-Year Recs for Bistocon
The virtual Bistocon took place this weekend. At previous Bistocons, the rec panels have often been dominated by older zine-era fics, classics of Pros fandom. This year, for a change, the con com asked people to recommend fics published in 2010 and later. I don't feel that newer fics have been underrepresented among my recs, particularly. Yet, having made the effort to identify all the Pros fics in my Beloved Collection that were published in 2010 or later, then winnow those down to relatively few titles, it was inevitable that I'd make a post about it.
I shared some of these during the rec panel, but not most of them. I sorted them into a few different categories for easy reference, as seen below.
