I discovered your rec list a couple of months ago, and I'm on it all the time. It's a gold mine.
I'm strangely excited to read Song of Iowa.
Oddly, I've stumbled across some Sentinel fic and enjoyed it, even though I've never watched the show. I didn't pursue it, because apparently only Season 1 of the show is on DVD, and I don't want to start it and not be able to finish. I've also read some Stargate Atlantis fic that I liked, although I haven't watched that show. either. But when I read fics and haven't watched the show, I do always feel like I'd enjoy them so much more if I knew the back story. I think about how much I'd be missing if I were reading BtVS/AtS fic without having seen the show. It's hard to imagine it would be understandable.
X/G...still tough for me, but I won't discount it for the future. Hey, I felt that way about S/X, and now look!
If you haven't read Anna S.'s Spike/Riley story, this is it:
