So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Heck, all I hear is a very messy combination of the words Pillow and Spill, and that means ...

Do you ever get the feeling you read too much of this stuff?

busting into thread I've never visited before....

Hey you fanfic-knower-about-ers?

A friend of mine is working on something about fan fiction. He's looking for good writers who write about any shows that aren't on the air anymore. Shows that exist only in reruns. Someone who writes stories about a dead show, maybe to make the show alive to themselves again.

Do you guys have any ideas? Any websites besides fanfiction.net that my friend should be looking at?

Thank you.

Love,
Rio

Um, well, I write in the Equalizer universe. Saw it only in reruns, I've got a bunch of stuff up at one of the EQ websites. Blue Sky Dancers? That's what I get for only having it as a bookmark.

If I only had a brain...

There are tons of them. Look at Shrift's and Nestra's recommendations at Polyamorous -- you'll find La Femme Nikita, X-Files, Sentinel, lots of other stuff.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Blake's 7 fanfic springs to mind as a fandom that's still alive and kicking and having slash fanfic conventions despite the fact that the show went off air decades ago. I know there's Dr Who as well - Kalima has some lovely Dr Who stories over at fanfiction net (and she's also published one Dr Who novel, co-authored with some chap) and it's, what, a dozen years since Dr Who was on air. And of course due South - that's finished, hasn't it? t / uncertain

eta Woooh! Accidental number whore of Babylon! Go Team Me!

If your friend wants the quality stuff, no way he should look at ff.net.

For Trek, try the Trekiverse archive, which I think is at trekiverse.org.

For X-Files, there's Gossamer, which is gossamer.org.

For Due South, there's the Due South Fiction Archive.

Those are all big fandoms for shows no longer on the air. (Except for Enterprise, the current Trek.) There are tons of others.

Rio, please tell me your friend is going to write an article that doesn't mock fan fic or get half the details wrong.

He is a really smart and sweet person whose jouralism is not based on mocking people or encouranging others to mock them. I can't imagine he'd write anything mean or stupid.
