Nightdog has a new story posted, no it's not part of Aftershocks, Them Old Waiting Room Blues. Wilson/Cuddy and a baby plus House-Wilson strong friendship. Rated R for language.

Maineac is at it again. Chapter four of Sleeping Man. Gen, PG-13; House takes a vacation -- and in a rather unfortunate fashion. I'm finding this quite painful to read because of how scarily possible it seems. I love it.

I'll second Maineac's story. Athough like Blackmare I find it rather cringeworthy reading it's one I keep clicking on when I see a new section.

I just started reading some of the ficwriters_anon fics & rather like this ficlet. http://community.livejournal.com/parrotfic/18748.html Title: Stage Five Author: parrotfic Rating etc: PG, gen, Wilson's POV Warning: major character death <- spoiler Summary: Five years ago, House managed to convince Wilson to put up a poster of Rebel Without A Cause in his office, across from the desk, so that Wilson would see it every day.

Alex51324 started a new story and has 2 chapters up already. I laughed out loud while reading it, so probably more people will like it. It's here: http://alex51324.livejournal.com/61274.html#cutid1 It's gen, strong H/W friendship, PG-13 for language I think. It's hard to come up with a good summary, let's just say that House has changed. A lot.

Thanks for the rec, Hibernia! The story is up to 3 chapters now. It's a refreshing change of pace from "Pencils."

Cool, alex! I've really enjoyed the first two chapters, so I'll add a second to the rec.

Sleeping Man 5 is up: http://community.livejournal.com/sick_house/53014.html And don't ask me how you turn House into a teddy bear and make it sound plausible, but Alex has.

*jawdrop* I WONDERED why the FanFic thread at TWoP has been so dead lately! I'm going into fic withdrawal, and then I come here and find so many recs! Thanks, y'all :)

Hi, chickleta, nice to have you join us! You might also like to take a look at the Desert Island fic thread for more recs & there's also fic discussion going on in the October thread here in the Cafeteria,

Is the Desert Island fic thread on this site, or elsewhere? I'm still finding my way around.

Yup. It's in the Cafeteria (just like this one). It's full name is Melancholy Without Hope: Desert Island Fics Actually, we have several fic threads in the Cafeteria: Oh It's Storytime! Let Me Get My Baba: The FanFic Rec Thread is for recs Water's October, Right?: House Fanfiction Discussion is for discussion Melancholy Without Hope: Desert Island Fics is for people's lists of all-time favorites Is That A Challenge?: The Pimping Thread is for ficathons, challenges, etc. And, related, He Has Pictures of You Being Nice?: The Arthouse is for recs of pictures, videos, etc.

Thank you! I'm going on a total fic binge now. Oh, and Chapter 5 of Sleeping Man is up now. http://maineac.livejournal.com/8140.html

Aftershocks has been updated and, well, if you want a restful night's sleep you may want to wait until morning to read the last chapter. I mean that as a compliment.

Thanks, Shoop! I don't know how that worked, either.
