Hi! I've been trying to find (and failed, being pretty new to the world of Trek fiction) some well written Data-centric fanfiction. Gen, het or slash, it's all good, as long as Data's kept in character.

Any fics with Lore are also more then welcome.

Thanks!

Here's a couple I like, if you don't mind some slash or Julian Bashir in your Data stories:

"Cadets" by airandangels.
Summary: Data & Julian meet at Starfleet Academy. Bit of an AU due to their canon first-meeting on the Enterprise, with excellent characterizations. Data is very true to the canon character.

"Metadata" by winged_mammal.
Summary: The first poker game on the Enterprise-E takes an unusual turn when certain aspects of Data's emotion chip are brought up. For the LGBTfest prompt Star Trek: The Next Generation, Data, Having emotions includes having a sexual orientation. He's not sure why everyone expected it to be heterosexuality.

I just remembered this one, too. It was written for Dark Fest, so it's a little grim, but very well-written.

"This Time of Dying" by ImpishTubist: http://archiveofourown.org/works/249575?view_adult=true

You've reminded me of an old favorite pairing and an old frustration. I love and adore Data, Picard is simply lovely, and the too together is without words. I've known this for a long time but forgotten it when the frustration of not enough story for my big appetite. I could only wish that many fandoms were as big and varied as Harry Potter. I went looking for Data Fic, not just Data/Jean-Luc, and sadly met my frustration again. With the reboot movie it's near impossible to find anything not Kirk, Spock or McCoy centered. BUT I'm not empty handed. I did find a highly emotional well written story that I really loved. It's called "A Dream Before Dying" and it's Data/Jean-Luc. Despite the name it does have a good ending.
