[fandom] Birds of Prey

[escritoireazul]

So. Birds of Prey. I'm a fan. I just read "Between Dark & Dawn" and I kind of want to write fic. Next up is "Blood and Circuits" and I'm really excited that the library branch I use most often has a decent collection of graphic novels, because this is joy and good things.

I really, really love Vixen, and based on the character line-up at the front of this one, I think I'm going to like Big Barda and Gypsy.

I'll have to buy these and read them all in order some day.

Fic recs, anyone?

BIG BARDA IS MADE OF AMAZING. Basically I have nothing constructive to add. Most of the fic out there is Babs/Dinah, which I can see, because I am not blind, but which doesn't interest me at all, so I sadly have no recs for you. :(

I love "Birds of Prey" so very, very much. <3

Were you looking for recs with specific characters? As far as I know, Vixen, Barda, and Gypsy aren't prominent enough to have produced much fic in that verse. There's a good deal of Dinah/Babs fic, and some with other minor femslash pairings.

Finally, an excuse to use my Barda icon.

Big Barda!

I can't think of any recs off the top of my head, but I've got a redonk amount of fics in my memories that I'm sort of parsing currently. I actually just reread all of my BoP trades and have been desperately trying to find some Babs/Zinda, just because Zinda strikes me as so very "If you're the captain I'll be the crew, because I just love taking orders from you".

But yes, the market is pretty heavily saturated with Babs/Dinah, which rocks me because they are my OTP. But it does get a bit boring. Sometimes you'll get Helena/Babs and/sometimes or Dinah, but those are few and far between.

And Barda Barda yes! I can go on about her but I won't, suffice to say that she and Knockout (who makes an appearance in BoP with her also awesome girlfriend trufax) and Grace (who is from Outsiders and makes a wee cameo in some of the recent-ish BoP comics) form my trifecta of Hot Chicks What Could Kick My Ass and Make Me Love It.

I'm going to cut my comment short until I actually have some content to share, and also because I don't want to babble your ear off about stuff that is probably not relevant to your interests, since I don't know what other comics you're reading. If you aren't reading Secret Six/Villains United and the new Outsiders though, I can't recommend them enough. Especially SS/VU, because it's good pretty much straight through the minis, while Outsiders sometimes drags or just goes straight into the wtf zone (John Walsh makes a cameo. Yeah, that's right. America's Most Wanted comes in for a whole arc. And the arc is kinda shitty too).

That was totally me cutting my comment short.
