Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

A conversation that just happened in my house:

Pete: "Did you see the trailer for Mortal Engines? I don't know anything about the books, but the trailer looked cool."

Me, in a tone of mild loathing: "Oh no."

I google

Me: "Oh thank G-D, I had confused Mortal Engines with Mortal Instruments ."

Pete: "... Buh?"

And then I explain the Cassie Clare saga to Pete.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I had the same brief thought.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The Peter Jackson—LotR connection didn't exactly ward off that association in my mind either.

AO3 is now a blocked website on my work phone. Oops.

I'm reading porn at work on my personal phone which seems like a good response to V-Day, Arrow and Pitch porn with a little fluff. I still need to find some new ships. 9-1-1 has some possibility, but weirdly most shows I currently watch do not.

edit to add - Veronica Mars also, always good for fic.

Art Crawl!!!

Is that Arrow and Pitch X-over?

No, separate. That would be an odd little crossover.

Was anyone in this thread in popslash? I'm trying to find out how familiar with popslash fandom I'd need to be to read one of the Big Legendary Fics, Flesh Mechanic: not an AU. I mostly want to read it because 1) it's supposed to be one of the big groundbreaking ones, 2) it's supposed to be supremely creepy, and 3) (which is, if I'm honest, reason #1) it's the fic that was the inspiration for my favorite creepy & fucked up bandom universes.

So, do I need to know anything about N'sync to read it? Any of you know?

Luckily, shrift and I are at Escapade and sitting next to three popslashers. They all agree that there's a little bit of established fanon that would add some layers to the story, but it definitely stands on its own just fine.

Yay! I will read it tonight. If you get a chance, please tell the popslashers thank you for me.
