Gen TOS

[freakizimi7.livejournal.com]

Hi,

I've just about exhausted the few leads I found and I am really having a bit of a TOS phase at the moment - can anyone do me a massive favour and help me find some Gen TOS stories (sorry slash fans)? Particularly any with a Bones-centric plot or riff running through. I am rather fond of the Doctor after all :) I've loved SpirritBear and EmRose92 and Swiss Army Knife on fanfiction.net, but am I missing some glaringly obvious authors?

Thank you for any help anyone can give me.

Hi,
Have you tried AO3?

Just in case you haven't I took the liberty of doing a quick search for you. Here are all the Bones centric ones I could find Ao3

Thanks! I hadn't known of this website and I've already found a couple of authors I'll be bookmarking! Thank you!

You're very welcome!

You should check out the website for Orion Press: http://www.fastcopyinc.com/orionpress/archives.htm - I don't recall if it's *all* gen, but at the very least it's *mostly* gen, and there's a ton of fic.

My very favorite author for McCoy-centric TOS gen is Cathy German, though she doesn't have a website (that I know of) and the only stories of hers that I've been able to find are scattered throughout the Orion Press site. Here are some:

Last Picked
The Tale the Cap Told
There Would Be Others
Trapped

Thank you! I'd found Cathy German a while ago - she was the one who first prompted me to realise that yes, there ARE actually some Bones-fics out there after all! I think Last Picked has got to be one of my favs, so nice to see Bones as the big hero for a change, and not because of his bag of tricks!

Thanks again!

StillWaters1 from FanFiction.Net has written some really good McCoy-centric stories (both TOS and from the 2009 film). Here's the like to her FF page: click here (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/133158/StillWaters1).

Hi! Sorry, I should have mentioned you too! You were actually one of the first people I found - I found the others via you (or at least via the links you had). You're a star and incidentally, I LOVE your Deviantart comics too. I had to explain to my sister why I was laughing so much at Pokesu...

Thank you very much for your reply - is it just me, or is this fandom really overly obsessed with slash? I just don't see it when I watch the series and although not adverse to slash (I used to be a big fan of Torchwood), it's getting a bit jarring reading a story and then suddenly the characters just jump into bed together. I'm sorry, I just can't see McCoy cooing sweet nothings into Spocks ear, as so often seems to be the case! No offense to anyone (or yourself) if you can see it, but I just can't, no matter how sideways I tilt my head! Am I really the only one with this problem?

Thank you again!
