Non-Shippy Fanfics

[Jenna]

I've noticed that there's a shortage of Non-Shippy Fanfics around and that's a shame because usually I prefer to read those. Is there a shortage because they're harder to write or that there's less demand for them?

Do you prefer the 'shippy fanfics or the non-shippy ones?

I don't mind, so long as they are (a) well-written and (b) NOT - not, not, not - "HM". There appears to have been nothing but HM posted on FF.net lately - uurrgh!

I've read some of these HM fanfics and some of them are so much like the millions of others that are out there. It's Hawkeye marries Margaret, they have a son called Ben and they live happily ever after. The 'shippy stories wouldn't seem so bad if something different actually happens in them.

I don't know much about fanfics. What are shippy, non-shippy, and HM?

[Jenna]

Shippy: Fanfictions with a relationships theme.
Non-Shippy: Fanfictions that do not focus on relationships.
HM: A Hawkeye and Margaret pairing.
CM: A Charles and Margaret pairing.

Thanks Jenna! I have never really read fanfics before so I might give them a try.

'Dr Winchester's bookshelf', which can be found via 'fanfiction.net' , is as good a place as any to start.

One of the best Charles authors is our very own Kay, I always find her stories a pleasure to read. You'll find all of her M*A*S*H stories in the Fanfiction community.
