sciatrix--because I started reading greywash's Magicians fic, and the one she recced, today, and it was enthralling.
You have to understand, I read The Magicians when the book first came out, and I was very excited about the concept but I hated the book. I have never been a fan of the kind of pointless ever-encroaching grimdark that the book felt like, and I firmly felt that Quentin was a little oik and that Alice, frankly, deserved much better. I think I gave my copy away to an ex-friend I was cutting off for my own emotional growth, because her taste in literature tended towards that sort of thing, judging from the books she kept giving me as gifts.
So I didn't pick up the show when it came out, either.
But the fics! They are very good! and I need to actually comment, but they have been brightening my evening something fierce right now.
