escritoireazulWe'll call this the small fandom rec list (more or less).
The Mighty Ducks:
If you've never read The Mighty Queertet, please, hop on over to Queertet dot net and read the stories. Once you're through, come read the new version, Queertet Revisited, which takes the original slashy pairings and splits them all up into chaos. The Mighty Queertet is the main slash series of the fandom (and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thestalkycop was one of the first people to post MD slash, if not the first), and Queertet Revisited has the same fun and angst wrapped up in even better writing and character development.
The Baby-Sitters Club:
+ Otherwise Very Romantic bywisdomeagle. This is a very sweet and sad and touching Mary Anne/Mallory story set at Christmas time. It's odd (but not out of place) to see which characters react the best and the worst to the fact Mary Anne and Mallory are a couple and I think it rings true on many levels. Christmas is a family time, but not necessarily a good time.
+ To Change byceleria, a delicious hot Claudie/Stacey adult fic. I love the characterization and how she's built on the actual canon and turned thirteen-year-old girls into strong and scared and caring almost adults. And the sex was fabulous.
+ Understatement bymizzmarvel, a sweet (almost candy sweet) Jessi/Mallory story about first kisses and coming back from boarding school and being best friends.
The Fast and the Furious:
+ What He Can Have bycarodee. This is a great Dominic piece, with a strong character voice, and an incredibly hot solo sex scene. I mean, damn, people, damn. It's hard to take a tough guy movie, with a tough guy main character, and keep a balance between tough guy and the family loyalty at the core of the movie and the character. Caro Dee does a brilliant job.
1. Total number of fandoms you like:
I'm not even sure anymore. I used to define fandom as one I watched/read the source material as well as writing and/or reading (mostly writing) as well. Now, however, my fandom definition is so vast I could probably include everything I've ever experienced. Ever.
But to name a few of my favorites: The Lost Boys, The Fast and the Furious Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick, The Baby-Sitters Club, The Mighty Ducks, X-Men (mostly movieverse, Ultimate, and Uncanny), Tamora Pierce, Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, Firefly/Serenity, House, Lost, Harry Potter, and I'm going to stop now, because there are so many.
2. My first fandom ever:
I can't remember my first actual fandom, because I always made up stories for various books and movies (especially books). My first active online fandom was Buffy the Vampire Slayer way back in the beginning of the series. It's also the first fandom in which I ever wrote fanfic.
3. My most recent fandom:
Serenity technically, because I just saw it last Thursday.
The most recent one I've been writing in (new one, I mean) is The Fast and the Furious. I think.
4. Five fandoms that mean a lot to me:
+ The Lost Boys I enter and leave other fandoms at random, but I have a feeling I will always be at least a small part of this fandom. It brought me so much, from writing practice to friends to family to my decidedly healthy (especially as compared to the unhealthy one for Vin Diesel) love for the many talents of Billy Wirth
+ Buffy the Vampire Slayer Even though I rarely write it anymore and even more rarely read it, the first is always special, you know. Again with the friends and support and writing practice.
+ Lostcleolinda's recaps bring humor, I love Locked, Hurley makes my day, and it's a love I share with one of my sisters. I can appreciate that shared fandom.
+ Firefly/Serenity I share this love with another of my sisters, adore the cowboys in space idea, love the theme music, can't get enough of the characters, and absolutely cannot wait for the rest of you to see the movie because I want to talk about it more than I can say.
+ Tamora Pierce Her books never grow old, not a one of them. I've read this books since I was young, maybe even earlier than preteen, and I always, always want more. I've not read a lot of fiction, but what I have is usually interesting and fun. I include this because I really want to write fanfic for it, but I've not found anything worth writing yet, because the original stories are just so damn good.
5. Tag five people: You. Yes. You.* Any of you interested. I'm bad at tagging people and I wasn't tagged, anyway.
I've had this journal almost a year and I've written only 103 entries, counting this one. I'm very quiet here, as compared to my main journal anyway.
I need to talk about Serenity soon, but ... I can't decide if I want to do it just yet.
House's snark is hard to write. I'm just not funny, not even snarky funny. Damn it.
* Oh lord, I just quoted a teenage chick lit book.
