On fandom

I remember when I first discovered HP fic. I'd only ever seen Neighbours fanfic before, and I wondered if there was any out there for anything else. Finding FF.net and later Schnoogle was a revelation. I raced through every fic I found, some of which I now know are fairly awful, but it was just amazing to me that there was a way of filling that huge gap between books with something else HP related.

Now, however, I feel like I've exhausted HP. I know all the juiciest dramas, I've read the best and the worst, and what new stuff there is does not seem to engage me very often. Apart from the occasional incredible fic, I just see the same new ideas, over and over. And I'm really no longer bothered about reading them. In fact, I really enjoyed the escape from HP that Yuletide offered - that's why I've signed up for femgenficathon and smallfandomfest - I can write something other than HP. Trouble is, most people who move on seem to have gone to Supernatural, Bones or Doctor Who - and I just can't get into TV fandoms. I don't watch enough TV to know all the small references that make fanfic so interesting.

Anyway, the upshot of this is that I would like some recs. I need to read something, or anything! Get me into a fandom (but please not one that I will have to follow the canon religiously to understand) - I don't have to have read or seen the source to appreciate good fic as a starting point, so maybe something that would make me go out and read/watch the canon? I like movie fandoms - I wrote for 10 Things I hate about you, for example. I like fandom for children's books (Noel Streatfeild, Narnia, Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, Enid Blyton...). And I really do still want to know Harry Potter - if you can give me something to read that I'll be able to get into. Good long one shots or multi-chapters would be great. Lots of plot would be even better.

Pretty please end my disillusionment?
