I don't think fanfic has ever led me to a show or book that I actually loved
Hmm. Sports Night is the first thing that comes to my mind. I'm watching Wiseguy because of fandom.
I know there have to be others.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

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

I watched The Sentinel and Highlander due to fanfic.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Fanfic is what got me watching Due South.
Thanks for the Schnoogle link, Gris.

Yeah, I probably watched Sentinel because so many Highlander writers also wrote Sentinel. Which is not to say that Sentinel was a good show.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Which is not to say that Sentinel was a good show.
But it was fun!

Schnoogle has some great stories. I like the EasleyWeasley stories (written post-OotP but pre-HBP), which feature more of Dean Thomas and involve more political machinations. Katling has a new post-HBP story WIP which is really excellent so far.

a mother and daughter named Siobhan and Shavonne.
It sounds like a variant on father and son being John and John Jr.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
More like a father and son being named John and Jon.

Always Anti-fascist!
I would, like, automatically, be inclined to think a family where this happened was full of tools. Shallow but true. But I'm the least original character namer on the Earth. My characters are James and Katherine, names like that, mostly. "The Perv" is "The Perv" but his mama named him Brian first.
