Yuri!!! on Ice

[naraht]

Who's still into Yuri on Ice? Seen any good fics posted recently? Anyone like to chat?

Leverage?

[glinda]

So I fell pretty hard for Leverage over the last year, but as a show that's no longer airing, most people I already know who've seen the show, have moved on from the fandom. I did find the main comm leverage but its pretty quiet, so I'm looking for people who might be up for chatting about the show, sharing meta and fic (beta-ing each others fic?) and/or waking up the comm? (I've found that its often quite easy to wake up a 'sleeping' dreamwidth comm, but it usually helps if you've got a couple of buddies to help!)

4 Recs in 4 Fandoms

[sixbeforelunch]

All of Me (2394 words) by Selena
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Agent Carter (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ana Jarvis/Edwin Jarvis
Characters: Anna Jarvis, Edwin Jarvis, Howard Stark, Peggy Carter, Whitney Frost, Rose Roberts, Zsa Zsa Gabor
Additional Tags: Character Study, Backstory, Hurt/Comfort
Summary:

Between countries, between languages, between death and life: Ana Jarvis has been all of this for years. Portrait of a survivor.

Reccer's Notes: I love this so much! Such a great exploration of Ana and her relationship with Jarvis, and her life in 1940s California. I'm a sucker for anything that digs deeper into the world on the fringes of the source material and this really delivers. I especially love the details about the real historical Hungarian people in Hollywood.

Thirteen Winters/Nixon Recs (Band of Brothers)

[muccamukk]

So I recently read all of the Winnix tag for Band of Brothers, in order written, excluding AUs, and I come bearing recs. I will admit a bias to h/c and angst, but they all have happy endings.

*if Miss Piggy tells you to treat her like a princess, you treat her like a princess.
**Okay, bear with me here:
1. Since Marvel bought back the X-Men movie rights, Wolverine is a Disney property
2. Several Disney princesses only got their status by falling in love with a prince
3. Marvel Hercules is Prince of Thebes
4. Wolverine and Hercules once dated in the comics
Ergo, Wolverine is a Disney princess (also, I'm pretty sure he can wear the heck out of a ballgown.)

Beta wanted

[the_rck]

I need a beta reader for a sequel to a story I wrote back in 2011. The original story, "To the Victor", is a Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension story that I wrote for Yuletide, back when Phineas and Ferb was still small enough to qualify. That story is G rated and set immediately after the end of the movie.

This one is probably more T than G in terms of rating, but that's mostly because I started writing it and realized that, if the 2nd Dimension kids were human beings instead of characters in a comedy, they'd all be kind of messed up. It's Candace and Jeremy at the beach, but it's also Candace thinking about the past and the future and the dangers of both. Neither Candace nor Jeremy get their childhoods back, but they don't seem to mind that much.

I'm mostly looking for a second set of eyes to help find my SPaG errors.

An icon?

[alias_sqbr]

I realise there may be Good Reasons this community has no icon but this idea popped into my head, feel free to use or not.

Discussion: How many fandoms do you have right now?

[jackandahat]

Are you multi-fannish, or one fandom at a time? Same fandom forever, or switching them up?

I've always tended to be multi-fannish - sometimes there will be one main, but I'm usually reading in at least 3 or 4 at any given time. Pretty much been that way the whole time I've been in fandom (20 years now.)

New-to-You Fandoms

[moetushie]

Hi! I thought I'd jump in here with a question. Are you currently into a fandom that's new to you (even if it's been around for a while?) What fandom is it? How do you feel about being a little late to the party, as it were? Let's get into it!

I'm going through this right now with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which has been around as long as I have (we're both a product of the late eighties) but I'd never thought about watching or reading until now. (I thought of it as a weird posing manga/anime with fighting robots? I was right about the posing, wrong about the robots and also like Steve Rogers, I get that reference!)

Right now, I'm very much enjoying consuming the canon, but as for producing fanwork... It's kind of hard to imagine producing anything that hasn't been done many times before. It's an old-new fandom conundrum, I think.

How about you?
