Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"Slow Show" lives in my head, rent free. I actually resented "The Witcher" when we started watching that last year, because it wasn't "Warlock". It's just. So good.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Do fan film links go here? Because this article does a not-terrible job of talking about fic, especially in the context of responses to R*wling.

Remember how cracktastic SGA fic got? Well, MCU fic may be moving that way. [link] Delightfully so. I can hope this is the start of a trend.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

DH independently decided to watch Stargate Atlantis. I have seen bits and pieces while he's watching, which made me realize that the show in my brain is much more informed by the fandom and the fic than what actually aired. That was a good fandom. I may have to revisit some.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Star gate Atlantis is one of my weird fandoms where I read the fic, but have only watched one or two episodes.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

That is a solid life choice. It's a wildly uneven show.

Bah. I read a relatively-new SG-1/SGA crossover that was recced on a DW comm this week, and ... yikes. It read like something from the mid-1990s. All the male characters were gay, and none of the female characters had any lines at all. Oh, and Elizabeth Weir was a traitor. And Sam Carter was nowhere to be seen.

And yet the story was written in 2019.

I do not miss the misogyny of classic slash fandoms.

Thrive to spite them

I thought I had commented on this...

I keep seeing that in 911 with Ana, since she's the love interest for Eddie and the show hasn't made Eddie/Buck canon. I've seen where people make her a stalker or turning threatening or something

And Ao3 is limiting tags. It's interesting to read the comments and people who are glad vs the people who think 75 is too few and they need more.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I have to say, it drive me nuts when people tag their fic in the way that Tumblr tags have evolved, like where the tags are an extension of the post. I totally do it on Tumblr, but on fic, no one needs tags like "#these boys are idiots #because of course they are #I mean...5 years of pining is excessive". That's what goddamn author notes are for.

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

I don't even care if there are a couple of comment-y tags. It's when it goes on and on and on...

Or the people who have one work for all of their fannish miscellany, so it's constantly gathering new fandoms and new characters and new warnings.
