This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

In my fandom caters directly to my needs news: a few years ago, a writing duo I admire wrote a Penny Dreadful AU for Hannibal, complete with vampires. When I read the tags to Mr. Loomy, he wanted to know if it had been written as a present for me.

The same duo are now posting daily chapters of their latest (complete, thank goodness!): a Mary Poppins AU for Hannibal.

I just got a "more please" comment on a story from 2002. I admire their optimism.

Thrive to spite them

Frustration is reading a really long fanfic series that I've totally gotten into and then realize at the last part it's a cliff hanger and hasn't been updated in a year. I subscribed but I'm doubting there will be anything else/

It's the eternal burden of the archive-trawler, askye.

I had a story that I finished after six or eight months...it could happen.

Kind of pleased but surprised that my KO and Rachel fanfic is getting a lot of lve lately.

If anyone wants to kill an entertaining couple of hours, check out Lindsey Ellis' two most recent Youtube videos, about a complete nutjob het A/B/O author (yes they exist) who is litigation-mad but also does not understand copyright law at all. I'm now at the point where the author is claiming that the OTW and EFF (and Courtney Milan?) are behind Ellis' videos, and it's all one big conspiracy to monetize the fact that this woman does not know how plagiarism or copyright infringement works.

Fascinating stuff, and Ellis is monetizing the shit out of it.

This is enough to make me long for the days of Fandom_Wank.
