Bad Girls/SVU, Pimp Challenge

So, I asked for recs and I received. sravenk sent me to coolbyrne's site to read Out of Context, Olivia Benson/Nikki Wade, 18+. This was a real treat. It's so difficult to get crossovers right -- familiar characters in unfamiliar universes interacting with strangers -- but coolbyrne really gets it right. And more than that. This is a wonderfully paced full-fledged story that covers all its bases and manages flawless characterization (not to mention, dialogue!!!!). Olivia at sea and swimming in Larkhall works on so many levels as do the other familiar faces (the Julies, Denny, and Yvonne are all present). The dialog is right out of an ep of Bad Girls. Plus, coolbyrne Makes Them Make Out! and more.

Just checked ralst's P&P and Out of Context, Part 1 is up there too without the distracting formatting problems (? instead of ") of the first two parts on coolbyrne's site (this might just be an issue for Firefox users like me).

Hmmm, maybe I should start my own challenge, a Pimp Challenge. Pimp me your favorite stories and...well, I don't have any prizes, but, um, I'll squee over you?

Pimp Challenge 2006

Although I've gotten some great Bad Girls fic out of the last post, I'm posting again so that it's clear that I'm looking for pimps from all of fandom. Even obscure fandoms or pairings you don't think I'd be interested in. If you think your writer can make me believe it, bring it on.

So here's the challenge again: pimp your favorite fic(s) to me and, um, I'll read them? Hmm, that's not much of a prize is it? Um, I'll squee over you for leading me to the good stuff? I'll love your forever? I'll be your baby's daddy?

Basically, this is just an excuse to get more fic without having to hunt around (or read my 1000+ flist at this point) and since my flist as a whole has incredible taste,I'm pretty much guaranteed some wonderful reading. It'll be like a birthday in June, which would make me some sign other than Virgo, which is therefore impossible, but still...PRESENTS, in fanfic form. Actually, if I get enough, I'll repost all of the recs for my flist to enjoy. Presents for everyone! How's that?
