No, separate. That would be an odd little crossover.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

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

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.

Because I'm sure everyone is waiting to know: Flesh Mechanic: Not an AU was good! Subtly creepy and unsettling. The the photo manipulated documents were really clever, and now I know where the Tumblr folks got their ideas for the Hannibal Trialverse posts.
I still prefer Cultverse in bandom, because 1) "my" RPF fandom, and 2) more overtly creepy and fucked-up. Vastly more fucked-up. If there was an equivalent to Hydra Trash Party for bandom, Cultverse would be it.

See, I think Cultverse is less like HTP (general) and probably the spiritual ancestor of shit like StoatSandwich's 4F Universe (trash with more specificity). But that's me splitting hairs.

I just know I'm going to regret asking this question, but what fandom is that?

You're probably right. Cultverse has some plot /character details that are constants no matter what story: PWentz is a creepy not-quite-cult-leader, and Saporta is an even CREEPIER not-quite-but-moreso-cult-leader. Who really does keep people in his basement.
I refuse to be ashamed of how entertaining I find Cultverse, but there's no way I am ever making it a public bookmark.

Also, I just earwormed myself. But it's one of my favorite songs by Cobra Starship, so ...

4F is MCU. AU Cap fandom, specifically.
I WROTE A THING. A thing that requires that you have watched a web series that I love and many people look at me sideways for. Link to twelve part web series on YouTube (This story makes absolutely no sense without a familiarity with the canon and the canon's tone.)

I would like to call out Vonnie for her reblogging of gifsets from the Strike series (based on the Robert Galbraith aka JK Rowling mysteries), making me go, "Oh hey, it's Tom Burke" and "Huh, look at Vonnie raving about UST", which lead me to reading the book and watching the series and now I am done, and not only is there no more book and no more TV, there's NO DECENT FIC.
I'm feeling personally wounded here, Vonnie.
