Oh, another of your lovely rec lists! I really love the chronilogical approach to reading through the life of the characters.

If Wilson/Grace doesn't seem too overloaded, I'd recommend azuredamsel's beautiful "Postcards from Italy." http://community.livejournal.com/azurefic/3351.html

Thanks! That is a good one, and... I could have sworn I had it...

Oh, I accidentally put it down as "Death." lol, which was the prompt, not the title. Whoops. Thanks for calling that to my attention!

I've never quite been able to figure Wilson out...this reading list will definitely help! Great job:)

[stephantom.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I hope you enjoy some stuff on it. I do think Wilson's kind of a trickier character to pin down than House. Partly, of course, that's because we see so much more of House than Wilson, but Wilson is also more of a subtle, behind-the-surface kind of guy, so it's tough to really get in his head, at last, I think so.

I don't know if you're into personality types, but I can't stop diagnosing characters with types, and while House is a textbook example of a Type Five (http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/TypeFive.asp) for the Enneagram (a 5w6 to be precise) and an INTJ (http://www.typelogic.com/intj.html) for the Jungian types, I keep going back and forth on Wilson's types. I have no idea. But I think Wilson is probably a Type Three (http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/TypeThree.asp) (a 3w2) and an ENFJ (http://www.typelogic.com/enfj.html).

...Shrug.

I always seem to reply with rambling non sequiturs...

Oh, thank you -- for the list and for the inclusions both! Speaking as a Wilson fan above all else, this is a lovely resource. As with your House list, it's nifty to have them organized in chronological order.

Are you looking for additional suggestions? There are a few gen Wilson stories I love that aren't on here, such as "Anger Management" by moonlash_cc and "Slipcovers" by nightdog_barks.

I also think there are a few on here I haven't read, which must be remedied as soon as possible. Should make for an enjoyable evening. Thanks again!

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Ah, never mind on "Slipcovers," I missed it up at the top there. :)

[stephantom.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you for pointing me to moonlash_cc. I hadn't read that piece - it was great! And yeah, definitely, if you (or anyone else who reads this) have any suggestions, I'd be happy to include them. I'm glad you like the list. :)
