At over 500 years old, Lord Hal is a character with a mysterious past, a myriad possible futures and potential storylines.....the perfect ingredients to stimulate you to unleash your fanfic creativity!
Please feel free to share any fanfic either that you would like to write here, or have written or recommend...you never know ....it may inspire others to write their own!
I would like to begin by recommending 3 superb fanfics by Ruby Rossetta Red. I had a brilliant evening yesterday reading them and I know any Hal fan out there will love these too!
Sami, www.fanfiction.net is where a lot of Being Human fanfiction is shared.
You can choose which 'world' you'd like to read about, ie the UK or the US version, through drop down menus you can choose which pairings you're interested in.
There are some really good authors on there, a new one who i am blown away with is an author by the name of 'non-canonical'. She's a very honest, visceral writer but very very good. Two of hers i would recommend are 'Breaking the Fever' and 'Circling the Drain', they are breathlessly good.
I have another drabble up there, it's a short one for me. I tend to write around 3,000 words per chapter but this one is a measly 1500 words give or take.
It goes by the name of 'The Eve Of...' and it may turn into a series.
your prose is seamless and captivating Lisa...as are the observations you make of the characters, this absolutely feels like part of the fabric of Being Human..Hal's thread! I really hope you do continue..the whole series! thank you for posting it here!
Incidentally i do allow anonymous reviews, so you don't have to be a member of the site to leave a review, just as long as you let me know who you are, it should be fine :)
So! I had this idea that as Hal fans we should band together and write ourselves the Ultimate Hal Fanfic!!! I was thinking that it would work by one person writing some and then another person writing some and then so on and so forth. We can post it somewhere for people to read and give advise and such while it is still being written. We can start a separate thread for it if we decide to do it!

didn't get very far with the avocado, powerful stuff Ruby Rosetta Red, it feels like a journey through a whole range of emotion, humour amid the angst with the Hawain dream wall, all the way through despair and destructive desires unleashed. I do love this part of Hal's story..the symbolism of the dominoes.. Fave section - the part where he returns to the pawn shop, this is so intense and that makes me feel adrenalized like Hal is feeling, until that tension is broken...forgot to say last time, telling the story as Hal in third person is really effective,
It must have taken you ages to write Lisa, thanks for sharing, I feel inspired and must get round to writing some myself one day.
I write very quickly, once an idea takes hold i can write several thousand words in a day. When i'm writing multi chaptered fics, i aim at about three thousand plus words and write it over a period of a week. My last multi chapter was a Mitchell fic (with my own version of Cutler as i introduced his character before his role began in S4 and Andrew had been cast but nothing else was known) and i'd average a chapter a week. So a drabble can be a day or two, depending on what's going on in my actual life.
I am hard at work on my first fanfiction right now!! its is alot harder than i thought it would be! (maybe i should try typing without a taco in one hand...) I have so much more respect for writers lol.
rubyrosettared! you are awesome!!

I have read Katy's fic now and recommend it...particularly the introduction of character that opened totally new and life changing doors for Hal...excellent thinking there Katy!
Am in the process of writing a new Hal fic. It's going very very slowly and even though i've written close to six and a half thousand words, i'm still not completely happy with it. Usually when i'm writing a new fic, i engage with the characters and get involved with the process of telling the story i want to tell. I want to tell this story but the characters aren't quite engaging with me. Fortunately this is just the first draft so i'm hoping something will click further when i go back and edit. Failing that, emailing it to my sister, who is my fic muse, usually helps and she usually homes in on where it's going wrong and suggestions of how to fix it or a fresh suggestion that may jiggle something loose in my head.
So right now, the scene where Hal is trapped in the cellar with new ghost Alex and he's beating on the door? that's my fic brain at the moment ;)
