Another Kind of Fandom Wank
After faking his death and leaving the Wizarding world behind, Severus unwittingly reunites with someone from his past in the most unlikely of places: online in a Blood Bathory fan community.
After faking his death and leaving the Wizarding world behind, Severus unwittingly reunites with someone from his past in the most unlikely of places: online in a Blood Bathory fan community.
It's the summer before their sixth year, and James, Sirius, Remus and Peter are sitting around James' room, quite bored, until a mysterious object hits Peter in the head. It's a book called 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'. As they read it, they learn some interesting things...
Skandar accidentally transports himself to Narnia, where King Peter is very intrigued by the boy who looks like his younger brother. And while his actual brother is away from Cair Paravel on royal business, the High King invites the stranger to stay with him.
The whole thing starts after their second CD comes out and Pete discovers there are entire Livejournal communities named after him.
It was just an experiment. It wasn't like Pete was planning on reading this stuff for pleasure, right? So that made it okay. Otherwise known as "Pete ventures into fandom."
What surprises Zach the most about Trek is the fandom obsessed with the cast.
There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them. So is obsession with Harry Potter.
OH JESUS, MEME. inspired by this thread and OH MY GOD i want a fic where Arthur and Eames are BOTH in the Arthur/Eames fandom but using sockpuppets. And then Arthur beta's Eames Arthur/Eames fic. And TOTALLY RIPS IT APART, because Eames has terrible SPAG and Arthur thinks his Arthur is TOTALLY OOC and Eames is like WTF why do you even want to read this and Arthur's like, "because I'm in love with the way you write Eames" dkjfkajf;kdskakld and then somehow they find out each other's sekrit online identities
yusuf writes arthur/eames fanfic. cobb is his beta. ariadne finds out.
Arthur is horrified by the number of prompts that involve him being grievously injured, starving, unsure of reality, or traumatised. In response, he decides to write an epic novel-length hurt-comfort fanfic starring Eames as a tormented soul who needs the healing power of Arthur's cock love. It starts out as a joke, but he really gets into it. Bonus points for the team's reaction to the epic-length Eames-torture fic on the kink meme. (Perhaps Saito loves it and starts reccing it to everyone and Eames is like WHAT THE HELL.)
"Would it actually be... fanfiction if the author herself writes it? I mean, all we're supplying is the idea."
"You can't do that! This is a shounen series!" he hissed.
Wes had a horrible nightmare. David needs to know about it. STAT.
Alec Hardison, if pressed, would probably suggest that he subscribes to a post-modern definition of identity.
A fanfic writer and Feminist Ryan Gosling discuss celebrity culture, gender and theory, and the political perils of Fassavoy fic.
So then, because he’s Hardison, he created a fandom.
John/Karkat, John/Eridan, commentfic, PG. Fanfiction by Dave Strider.
Or A Brief Sketch Of An Ideal Outcome For An Entirely Fictional And Deeply But Unnecessarily Disturbed Relationship Dedicated To Certain Individuals Who Even When Figuratively Armed With Vessels Of Water And Saccharine Coatings Cannot Take A Hint
Dean didn't get there first. That's okay; hell, that's the way he wanted it. He never even cared—until he stumbled over some stupid freaking fanfic about him taking Sam's virginity. Now he can't get it out of his head. This fic takes place during season 6, post-06x12, "Like a Virgin," pre-06x20, "The Man Who Would Be King."
Natural Selection: "BEACON, also known as the Bureau of Enforcement, Armed Combat and Offensive Neutralization (it sure is offensive, Stiles thinks) has established the Avengers Initiative in order to, uh, fight crime. And rampaging alien hordes. And stuff....And somehow, in the middle of all this chaos, the Hulk and Iron Man find love." Kids From Yesterday (OR, Mohawks for Everyone): "Okay, this bandom family stuff is unreal. Who needs to make this shit up?"
In which Sam does another sort of research, and Dean is amused.
Dr. Brennan is pretty much okay with brother-on-brother action. It's just everyone else who needs convincing.
“Chuck,” Becky said, slowly and carefully and very, very seriously. “I think someone is trying to communicate with us through the fanfic.”
"I don't even get to be a cruel, capricious god anymore. Now I'm the cruel, capricious god's pet accordion monkey."
“Chuck,” Becky said, slowly and carefully and very, very seriously. “I think someone is trying to communicate with us through the fanfic.”
It's all Sam's fault, really. It had just been research. Then it got way out of hand. Or, in which, fanfiction takes over their lives for better and for worse.
Bitty comes out to Johnson in the Haus kitchen after baking four pies in a row. Bitty bakes when he’s nervous, but he also bakes when he’s happy, when he’s tired, when he’s irritated, and when it’s Tuesday, so it’s hard to draw conclusions. Unless you peeked ahead to the last panel first to check for cliffhangers, but Johnson would never do that.
A missing scene fic (spoilerific) between Captain Tsing & Jupiter Jones before she goes back to Earth, because I know I wasn't the only one who was sitting in the theater thinking "Stinger Apini, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, LETTING YOUR DAUGHTER EXIT THE SCENE LIKE THAT?"
Cassandra stumbles across a secret literature-exchange society in Skyhold. She disapproves, of course. Deeply. (That person who keeps prompting for crossovers with characters out of Varric's novels? Not her.)
The Avengers discover that there are fans who write explicit RPF fic about them. Some of them are very confused. Some are proud. Some don't understand why everyone writes the pairings who aren't together but hardly anyone writes the couple who actually is together. Much silliness ensues.

This is about to get very meta but it does not necessarily depict real life events and/or my actual opinions about the lovely fanfic on this site.
There is a fucking primer. Dylan doesn't quite know what to do with that.
Falconers bring back the Horton ‘Hug Check’ when playing the Seattle Schooners, because no one wants to be the guy to injure the Captain’s secret boyfriend.
