Does anyone know of some good stories that DON'T have to do with a couple like M/L, M/A, A/A, etc? I've noticed on ff.net that those seem to be the main stories out there. I tend to prefer things that have to do more with the action part of the show or that have original characters(that way you don't offend any shippers), so I was just wondering if anyone knew of some good stories like that.

There will be members that will come up with some writers who don't write shipper fan fic. Give it a few days because it's very quiet around here this past week.
This board was started by Star24 and the other mods because the Max and Logan shippers needed a home. We had to leave our old board which became all alec.
Be sure and read the newbie rules because we only ship Max and Logan here. No others.
We do have some non-shipper members that seem happy here. It's a happy place to come to every day.
Be patient and you'll get some recommendations for action fic.

Thanks, and don't worry, I'm a M/L fan. It's just that some of the fics about them seem to become repetitive, so I was just looking for something a little more action based.

There's gonna be lots of action in VS3 coming up soon. M/L yes because that's the way DA always should have been but lots of action going on as well.  |

Hey BeBoring. I forgot to say welcome. Have a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream.  There's a Be Boring that's written a couple of DA fics at ff.net. Is that you? I'm sorry I've haven't read them but my time is very limited. I only read Max and Logan fic but others here are more open to non M/L stories. |

Yeah, I'm on ff.net. My second story will have M/L in it, but my original character is where the focus of the story is. The M/L just sort of runs in the background.
Yay, I've been welcomed! I've been looking for a forum without people flaming each other constantly and I finally checked this one out. It's a nice change from DATV.com.

What I loved about season one was the Dark Angel story with M/L's relationship sort of running in the background. I'm sure you'll feel welcome here with the nicest DA fans you'll ever meet. We seem to be the opposite of DATV. |

BeBoring - Hi and welcome to DAR! I think you'll feel much more at home here than you probably did at DATV. In the meantime, let me troll through my hundreds (literally) of fic bookmarks and see if I can come up with some recommendations... Darkstar Rising by Snowcrash - IMO this fits your request perfectly: lots of action with M/L in the background. It hasn't been updated in ages, but it's well worth reading. I've recently emailed the author and asked him to continue, and he agreed to, but that was a couple months ago and I haven't heard from him since. If you leave him a review, or an email (in case he doesn't check his reviews), letting him know you enjoyed it and begging him to write more--maybe he'll be motivated to do so. ;D Checkmate, by Nomaly - I admit I haven't read this in ages, because I use my limited time to focus on M/L fic, but what I did read was good. This one is all about Lydecker. Encounter by catherder - Renfro captures Logan and Lydecker has to deal with it. Great story for Logan Cale, Man of Action, as my friends put it. First Sight by Verbal - Logan and Max find and rescue Max's mother. Good story, good fight scenes. Written in script format. Pursuit by Eye Contact - Some ship, but some action too. Written round-robin last summer by members of Fan Forum's M/L shipper thread. The Stronghold by Fin Tuscany - Max and Logan investigate the Familiars and alec's strange behavior. Good action scenes, among other things. I may have more of this type of fic on my bookmark list, but they'd be ones which I read so long ago that I no longer remember what the fic is about based solely on the title. So these will have to do.

Thanks Kyre, I'll have to start reading those. That'll keep me busy for a while.  I already read The Stronghold, that one was great! |

Oh hey, I just saw this discussion. Thanks for the nod, you guys. I'll make some reading suggestions too, but today ffn is blacked out, out of respect for 9/11.
There's a lot of quality writing in DA fandom, it's very impressive.
