So what's "Thrillkiller"?
Batman: Thrillkiller is an Elseworlds trade paperback written by Howard Chaykin. It takes place in 1961. The art is vibrant, the storyline is gleefully askew, and I'd say it's as noirish. Main players are Babs, Dick, Bruce, Jim Gordon, Black Canary, Harley Quinn and an interesting take on the Joker.
Popslash fandom, as I've perceived it, is not just a basic-set-of-facts thing but a collection-of-attitudes thing.
Partially because there are no facts. I mean, the
members
of NSYNC can't seem to agree on canon. They're constantly changing their minds on what really happened in the group.
Also a bunch of celebrity musicians bound together by being in a band probably promote themselves differently, whether independently or on behalf of the band, than a group of actors bound together by having made a movie.
I think it might also be a span of time thing. I mean, the LoTR guys were together for how many years? 3 or 4? NSYNC has been a group for 9 years. [Plus, JC, Justin and Joey have known each other longer than that.] And for the first 7, they were constantly together. There is an endless amount of footage, in addition to their live performances, of the five of them together, interacting.
ETA: Same thing with BSB. Though I think they might actually have a cohesive group history.
First time poking my nose in here. My brain just got the HP slash thing and various Buffistas pointed me here for recs. I just finished reading Lust over Pendle. Wow! I have tried to threadsuck and look for past recs, but have not had luck so far.
Anyone wanna enable?!?!
Do you have a pairing preference? Sirius/Remus? Harry/Draco? Snape/someone?
I don't really read HP (though I read Lust Over Pendle) but Dana and shrift have some Harry Potter recs here. So that's somewhere to start, anyway.
Have not read enough to really have a OTP, though anything with Draco has appeal.
Draco, mmm ...
Love the actor who's playing him, too.
Okay. First of all, A.J. Hall has other stories in the Lust Over Pendle 'verse, so check her webpage.
Resonant has written a gorgeous Harry/Draco piece called Transfigurations.
Broken Bones by julad.
Darken Many Virtues by Sara.
Our own FayJay has a nice big Harry/Draco story called Invisible to See.
Lustre, by Calico and julad, makes me smile.
That ought to get you started. And yeah, other recs live at PolyRecs, which Katie linked you to.
