Oh, Mely! Awesome.
The vid is mentioned in Gavia's Daily Dot article on modern fans' interpretation of Cap. It was with a vague sense of embarrassment that I realized I know each of the fanfics referenced. And the essay. But, this re-interpretation of Cap is why I like Cap now.
I wish they'd link to Fanlore instead of TVTropes.
Also, they totally should have mentioned that story where Steve supports union workers on strike, somewhat to SHIELD's horror.
Link?
Average Avengers Local, it's on AO3
I wish they'd link to Fanlore instead of TVTropes.
I also wish that Aja (I assume it was Aja, I read the article on my phone) had indicated that Thuvia's vid was rather more complicated than a re-imagining of Steve Rogers' politics.
That story makes we want to start an Average Avengers chapter.
Just read a weird and interesting Sherlock/John fic that wanted me to read all their wiki hyperlinks and possibly get lost on a tvtropes equivalent website, and then had a bummer downer if an ending. I feel betrayed by being asked to put all this extra investment into a fic and then be denied even a lady or tiger ending. Maybe I don't have legitimate reason to be angry with the author, but I truly am. And the extra investment asked of me seems to be fanning the flames beyond normal betrayal.
Any recs for Mentalist fan fiction? George or general - nothing porn centered though incidental porn is fine. Plotty with Jane being clever & charming the unit solving crimes. Lisbon being clever, and making Jane regret it when he pushed her too far is good too.
Typo, my Mentalist fic [link] tends away from casefic but check out my lists of favorite stories and authors. It should help. I do skew toward the Jane/Lisbon shippy side. Off the top of my head, Tromana, 221b baker street, and Little Mender are good ones. Not all the best Mentalist fic writers are on AO3.
