Now, I know Jake and his half-vamp adoration aren't as loved in the fandom as E/B. We all know that. You could even go so far to say Jacob and Nessie are the most hated characters and I've yet to hear one good explanation why!
Wolf-fics are sorely underecognized (is that a word?) in the fandom, not garnering anywhere near as much recognition or reviews (which we all know authors live for, even if they say they don't) and I want to change that. So, here it goes: Alphas and Imprints. A blog for Jacob, Nessie and all their wolfy friends and the imprints in love with them.
Here's where it gets sketchy: I really don't know what to do with this. Yes, yes, I know - good idea, poorly executed. Story of my life. I'm starting slow - every Friday I'll post a weekly recommendation of a good wolf/imprint-fic.
It can be from Jake's POV or Nessie's, Jared or Kim's, Quil or Claire's. You get the idea. As long as one of our beloved wolves or imprints is front and center. ;)
If anyone at all has any ideas or wants to help out, has any fics they'd like to recommend or an interest in writing articles or pieces or anything, please feel free to contact me. Through here or my Fanfiction.net account.
So come on, wolf girls, back me up!
I'm excited about this! There are not nearly enough places for us to express our love of the wolf pack. I'm all in.
ReplyDeleteDamn, girl, you just keep getting better. I'm ShadowInTheNight1 from FF.net btw.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for the stories I like Quil and Claire, too. I guess I'm just a *little* insane and love the wolves that imprint on babies.
And, you should check out the story "Dear diary" by Alice laughed and "Early imprint:Quil's story" by IamKate. They're both on FF and are amazing.
And there's also a Paul and Rachel story I adore "Bada Bing, Bada Boom" by Clichesbullet. It's from Paul's POV and is hilarious.
So, yeah, that would be it for now. I hope you'll consider these stories and well, I'm not gonna promote my story. It's the first one I've written and isn't that so good anyway.
Bye... :)
Hello, Nad!
ReplyDeleteSo, I found your self-rec and have come to stalk you here too. :) I love the idea of this, and your ambition in kicking it off!
I've read a TON of wolf-fics (hardly ever read ExB in comparison) but I seem to have been lazy about favoriting them because I just went to go get some links and recs for you and didn't find what I was looking for. I'll hunt them down for you though.
There is one in particular I think you would love. It is a Quil x Claire story, in which Claire's family was so discomfited by Quil imprinting on their toddler daughter that they moved away, somewhere on the east coast, I think? and Quil and Claire have both sufferd greatly due to the distance, Claire ignorant of the reason. But... something happens. I can't even remember what now, and she moves back. The reunion is slow, careful, and painfully poignant. I haven't gotten an update for it in just ages -- OH, the alert list!
YES, there it was! AND, it's Broken by Alice Laughed so you've probably already read it. :) Oh well! It's also been about 6 months since she updated it last. Hope it's not abandoned. It's a GORGEOUS story and I still think about it once in a while. I think I'll go PM her a whiny little note about it.
Here's the link, just in case. :)

What a great idea!!! Espeially since I can't get enough of HOM and Undeniable!
ReplyDeleteAnother one of my favorite Jake and Ness stories has to be "A Wolves Moon by Tinkerbella c" I have laughed and cried throughout the entire story! There is so much angst and passion and it has a very unique storyline! I am about as addicted to A Wolves Moon as I am with HOM and Undeniable!
Hope you check it out and reccomend it. Tink is an amazing author!
Just a P.S. addendum to my comment: I went to go PM Alice Laughed and remembered that she had a baby not long ago, so I COMPLETELY sympathize with the lack of updates and have hope that she'll pick up where she left off. ...someday. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'd love to help out even though I'm not very tech savvy but I've read quite a few Jessie fics and I'll be on the look out for other wolf fics as well. :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, this is YourOasis from FF.net :D
And like twi-nighter said: A Wolves Moon is a MUST on this list! But this is your blog so I'm not gonna shove it down your throat. LOL I'm as anxiously awaiting for an update and as into it as twi-nighter is. It's close to the 1,000 club too. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recommendations, you are one of my favourite fanfic writers, I loved your Nessie and Jacob POV stories.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice that you are trying something new. Because when people are trying anything new it is best to the variety. The same happens to Generic Viagra, it is something new and It brings variety to the formula I will give a try to check them out.

Self promoting myself here, lol, but I do happen to have two or three wolf fics that I hope you like:
ReplyDelete1. Bada Bing Bada Boom - a surprisingly popular comedy for such minor characters, I still don't get it why people like it so much but I do see it has been recommended already.
2. My Beloved Monster - A Jake/Nessie story. Not my favorite pairing but I always start with an OTP I'm not obsessed about when starting on a fandom so I don't get too passionate or corny. I hope you like it.
3. Brave Face - A one-shot about Leah, from Sam's POV. Both Sam/Leah and Sam/Emily. Leah is my fav character so I felt like I "owed" her some loving. It's actually kinda depressing.

And I do understand it has been ages since you posted this but I kinda just googled myself, lol.
Thanks for sharing this information
