Fan Fiction: Writers, Readers, and Enablers
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
I hate the Nikita fandom sometimes.
I hate how it's gotten to the point where it trudges along, kind of boring and blase, until it goes INSANE on you.
I run a weekly drabble thing, and I've been accused of stealing someone's suggestion for a drabble topic and not giving her credit. Because, you know, that's the path to glory in any fandom. Making good drabble suggestions.
You bitch!
Or, er, you know, not, as that's nuts.
And, you know, two people in fandom? Never have the same idea.
It's beyond the realm of imagination, Dana, that more than one person would have the same idea about something.
And one of these days I'm going to get around to suing everyone that has ever written a boy-meets-boy-boy-loses-boy story because
I
had an idea about that ages ago. Sure, I didn't write it down, but they're obviously stealing my thoughts.
oh my GOD, I hate the Nikita fandom.
Some days, dear, I think we should come up with amusing sockpuppets and go after 'em.
And then I remember that it would be, like, hard work and stuff, and that I'd actually have to deal with the crazy people instead of ignoring them.
This, she says lackadaisically, is why I could never truly be in charge of an evil cabal.
(Blinks pretty-like at all the people)
Sooooo... I know a lot of y'all are BBF members, and probably dimly recall the days when *good* recs happened. Yeah, me too.
I still think it could be a great resource, if a few smart people a week rec'd what they'd read and liked in recent times.
Especially, I think, slash recs. It could use a *lot* of slash recs.
{{{hugs Dana}}}
I'm so sorry the tinhats are driving you nuts. I have no consolation except that your fandom does appear to be insane.
"What! Boy Meets Girl??!! But that's my idea!"
Caveman 1 to Caveman 2. It hasn't been the same since.
Is that a call to action, Plei?
I'll try to do better. I don't tend to keep up with that list as much as I ought because generally the slash is where I head first, and you're right, it's not well represented. And some of the recs I've seen recently have been, well...
So I'll make an effort, when I come across something better than average, to remember to rec it there.
That is a call to action. I, err. Err.
Seem to have hit my head on something and had my brains leak out, because I'm a mod there now.
