What fandoms are we all in, anyway?

[author_by_night]

I thought it might be fun to come up with a list of the fandoms people are in here - find communities, find fics, find friends. 

I don't know how to do HTML and I can't find any generator, so this will be pretty generic copypasta. Sorry. I forever live in 2002 technology wise. (Actually, I'm pretty sure even in 2002 we had do fancy HTML stuff. Dang it.)

Fandom(s): Mostly Schitt's Creek these days. I still dabble in Harry Potter (though I've disavowed JK Rowling) and Buffyverse.

Other fannish interests (things you love but can't say you're in the fandom for, exactly): The Good Place, Firefly, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Parks and Rec.

Are there any DW communities for your fandom(s) you'd recommend?: Sadly, not really. :(

Are there any communities for your fandom(s) outside DW you'd recommend?: I'll go ahead and rec the Ao3 community for Schitt's Creek. It's not really a "communiy" in the standard sense, since it's a fic tag, but beyond leaving kudos and comments, people talk about the show, about the characters, so I'd say there's a sense of love and community.

Rec a fanwork YOU created (one per fandom):

Harry Potter - The Dragon King, about the Weasleys grieving Fred from Charlie's POV. https://archiveofourown.org/works/3740458


Firefly - The Trouble With Wash, Mal's thoughts about Wash through the years. https://archiveofourown.org/works/4344113

Schitt's Creek - One, Twenty and Fifty, David and Patrick's wedding anniversaries over the years. https://archiveofourown.org/works/33782560

Rec a fanwork SOMEONE ELSE created (one per fandom):

Schitt's Creek - So most of the fics in the fandom are pretty good. But I'll go with the Around Town series by walnuts_and_berries, which covers various SC characters encountering David and Patrick. https://archiveofourown.org/series/2539690

Rec meta YOU created for your fandom (podcast, essay, etc.): None that I can find.

Rec meta SOMEONE ELSE created for your fandom:

Schitt's Creek - I'm trying to find a wonderful essay a friend wrote, to no avail. That being said, there are a lot of great podcasts - Gettin' Schittfaced comes to mind.

Buffy - They just wrapped a few months ago, but the Still Pretty podcast. They recapped the entire series.

Harry Potter - A friend of mine did a re-read of all seven books a few years ago. I can objectively say her analysis is great! https://lindalupos.dreamwidth.org/tag/hpreread17 Sadly her re-reads didn't get much attention.

Are you open to fandom friends on DW?: Sure, but I don't post as often as I used to and I don't post all that much about specific fandoms.

Are you open to followers in other spaces?: There's really no point. I do social media for work, so that's mostly how I use it these days. Ao3 and DW are probably the best places to follow me.

[ruuger]

Fandom(s): Babylon 5, Buffyverse, X-Files, The Mentalist, Doctor Who (Capaldi era), and most recently The Mandalorian

Other fannish interests: There are a lot of things that I love, but which I don't really consider being in the fandom of (even though I do some fannish activities relates to them), such as Discworld, Queen, ER, and Star Wars in general.

Are there any DW communities for your fandom(s) you'd recommend?: babylon5_love, universe_today, b5_revisited, seasonal_spuffy, tardis_library

Rec a fanwork YOU created (one per fandom):

I'm just going to link two of my all-time favourite fics that I've written, plus one recent one:
Fathers' Day (The Mentalist, Team CBI gen)
If Strangers Meet (Buffyverse, Spike/Giles)
The Bystander (The Mandalorian, Din Djarin/Migs Mayfeld)

Rec a fanwork SOMEONE ELSE created (one per fandom):

I can't pick just one per fandom, so is it cheating if I link to my recs tag which has my mega rec posts for Doctor Who, X-Files and Buffyverse

Are you open to fandom friends on DW?: Yes

[stefanyeah]

Fandom(s): Hades mostly these days. Coming from many years of Muse RPF

Other fannish interests: Godzilla, my Pokémon love has been rekindled for a while, Horizon Zero Dawn (Didn't get Forbidden West yet due to monetary issues…), Monster Hunter

Are there any DW communities for your fandom(s) you'd recommend?: There's the Museslash community, but it's mostly dead these days. Hades seems to be happening on twitter and Discord.

Are there any communities for your fandom(s) outside DW you'd recommend? There's a few Hades discords dedicated to specific pairings or to the general horniness of the fandom.

Rec a fanwork YOU created (one per fandom):

Lessons for the Unteachable — Hades: In which an insolent Prince learns not to disrupt his Narrator.

The Fire Chronicles — Muse, AU: Of Dragons and Riders, Enemies and Family, Gods and Demons.

Godzilla Ficlets — Two little pieces I did for the Lands of Magic comm on DW.

Rec a fanwork SOMEONE ELSE created (one per fandom):

Shitty Boy Corner — Hades: if you haven’t realised how great TheseZag is yet, it’s time to read this series by Red Smear. :D

Sadly I’m out of the loop with the Muse fandom and out of spoons to dive deep into the past.

Are you open to fandom friends on DW?: Yupp.

Are you open to followers in other spaces?: Yupp.

I’m on Ao3, Pillowfort and InkBlot under the same name. On Twitter it’s Feathers_of_red (SFW) and Hades_Feathers (NSFW) on twitter.

[futurism]

Ooohh I've been wondering for a while where the active hades communities would be at. Is it possible perchance to get any discord servers invite? The twitter corner for it is ever so talented though, I'm very in love with the fanart.

[stefanyeah]

There's the official Supergiant Games Discord: https://discord.gg/supergiant
I could sent you links to the ThanZag server (where I'm most active) and I saw I can sent invites for the PZA server, too. Can I dm you here? At least TZ doesn't want the link spread publicly. (They're also 18+)

There's a Thesterius server that I've left and a Charmes and a Hypnos server that I've never joined, but I guess TZ and PZA are good starting points.

[futurism]

OOhh that would be really kind of you, thank you! Of course I'll accept the DMs, I don't post personal entries here very often but am open to be dw buddies too if you'd like! :) and re: being 18+ servers, I'm well past that age so there should be no problem on that front either. Thank you a bunch!

[stefanyeah]

Sent the DM.

Sure, yes. :D
My DW is pretty slow these days, too. I sometimes even forget to post stories here.

Excellent. Had to be checked as there's some NSFW parts on both servers. ;)

[vriddy]

Fandom(s): My main fandom is Boku no Hero Academia, these days.

Other fannish interests (things you love but can't say you're in the fandom for, exactly): I often dip into anime fandoms while a season is currently running and then move on after :) I dip into the occasional The Old Guard fic, too.

Are there any DW communities for your fandom(s) you'd recommend?: bnha_fans for BNHA :) (do I need to add a disclaimer since I started it?), anime_manga which is broader and has a lot of good people on it.

Are there any communities for your fandom(s) outside DW you'd recommend? I could recommend a couple of discord servers, but the negativity about canon over there is a lot these days.

Rec a fanwork YOU created (one per fandom): Apparently I managed to bring someone into the BNHA fandom with this self-indulgent fic I wrote about respecting personal boundaries, so it seems fun to rec it again :) Four times Hawks said no, and one time he listened when told the same

Rec a fanwork SOMEONE ELSE created (one per fandom): I love this short BNHA Pirates AU by DrAphra, A Pirate's Life For Me.

Rec meta YOU created for your fandom (podcast, essay, etc.): Maybe after I finally answer muccamukk's manifesto challenge I will come back with something to add :)

Rec meta SOMEONE ELSE created for your fandom: I really enjoyed this little piece of BNHA meta on Hawks and his relationship with his parents (warning for massive manga spoilers, including manga panels)

Are you open to fandom friends on DW?: Yes!!

Are you open to fandom friends on DW? Absolutely!

Are you open to followers in other spaces? I mean, I guess, but I'm not really active anywhere but here and AO3 these days.

[arcanetrivia]

Fandom(s): Harry Potter and Monkey Island are the only things I've (publicly) created for; MST3K fan from long ago, although I don't really read fanfic or post about it; Takin' Over the Asylum; Tolkien

Other fannish interests (things you love but can't say you're in the fandom for, exactly): Star Trek, Discworld, Elfquest, Red Dwarf, Hitchhiker's Guide (I do read occasional fanfic for all of these and collect some fanart), I guess Doctor Who has kind of fallen into this category (although I have a lot of fanart and fic collected from before; I paid very little attention to Thirteen's episodes, sorry Jodie)

Are there any DW communities for your fandom(s) you'd recommend? There's nothing really active here :-/ I own weareloonies for Takin' Over the Asylum, but I'm the only person who ever posts and no one ever comments. woe.

Are there any communities for your fandom(s) outside DW you'd recommend? n/a

Rec a fanwork you created (one per fandom):
Harry Potter: To Weave Cold Starlight Severus/Lily, rated General, ~5600 words. Severus wants to make Lily a special gift of something she saw in a book in the library, but doesn't get the chance to until after they're both dead. It turns out to have surprising properties. Canonical deaths are mentioned.
Monkey Island: all blue and honey gold Guybrush/Elaine, rated Explicit, ~3100 words. Getting her grandfather declared un-dead enough to become Governor again was harder than Elaine bargained for, and she could use a break from this morning's mountain of paperwork. Set just after Escape from Monkey Island. Warnings for mild food play (sensual use of honey) and mild improv bondage (a silk shirt).

Rec a fanwork someone else created (one per fandom):
...These are all fics because I went straight for my AO3 bookmarks and it didn't occur to me until after I'd typed all this that I could rec art from my extensive DeviantArt collections. Oh well. I'll just drop a general link to that: my DA favourites - there's more than just fannish stuff there, but you can find a lot of Harry Potter (primarily Snape), Tolkien, MST3K, Doctor Who, Monkey Island, and lesser amounts of Discworld, My Little Pony, and a miscellaneous folder which is where things like HHG, Takin' Over the Asylum, Star Trek, etc. have ended up due to their smaller quantities in my collection.

Harry Potter: Fifty-three Stories About Snape and Black by amanuensis Severus/Sirius, rated Mature, ~3100 words. A parody written for the Intimate Enemies (Snape/Black) FQF, consisting of all 53 challenges, answered.
Monkey Island: All in the Name by flurrin Guybrush, Bugeye, rated Teen, ~6400 words. Whatever else Bugeye calls him, Guybrush Threepwood is NOT his captain. And he calls him many, many things when he accidentally joins the Mighty Pirate's ever-growing crew some time after the La Esponja fiasco.
Takin' Over the Asylum: We Can Work It Out by (orphaned). Rated Teen, ~4000 words. A portrait of the five protagonists of Takin' Over The Asylum from the point of view of outsiders: a record shop customer, a taxi driver, a curious child, a student of electrical engineering and a tabby cat.
Tolkien: Return to Aman by bunn This is a series rec, so a giant cast of characters. Rated General, ~152,000 words. A series of stories about Elrond's return to Aman at the end of the Third Age. All these assume that Maglor son of Fëanor was one of the other unnamed Elves who accompanied Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Frodo and Bilbo on the ship when they left Middle-earth. Point of view is usually either Maglor or Elrond, but occasionally someone else (Celebrian, Lalwen, Nerdanel...)
Discworld: Dame Rumour by copperbadge Ensemble cast, rated Teen, ~21,300 words. Belief is important. With enough belief, you can shape the world.
Doctor Who: The Doctor's Rulebook by megzseattle Various Doctors and companions, rated General, ~21,150 words (incomplete/abandoned, but the chapters each stand alone). The Doctor has many rules. He's just not aware of some of them until they get broken.
Red Dwarf: Ode to Enlightenment by jazzfic Lister, Rimmer, rated General, ~2100 words. Rimmer's whole life, from what Lister had managed to glean from various drunken confessionals, was one missed opportunity after another.
Hitchhiker's Guide: Games Day by daegaer Arthur/Ford (not usually my cuppa!), rated Teen, ~3100 words. Ford and Arthur are in danger of seeing a sporting event from far too close up.

Are you open to fandom friends on DW? Sure, but I warn you I don't post a lot these days.

Are you open to followers in other spaces? Yes - I'm active on Tumblr at silveth. It's not strictly a fandom blog, it's kind of an everything blog, but it's had a lot of Monkey Island for almost six months now because I fell in love with Guybrush and got totally obsessed, so be prepared for that for at least another few weeks according to my queue. Other fannish contents include Severus Snape and occasional looks in from David Tennant (a lot less than I used to), Star Trek, Discworld, MST3K, probably a sprinkling of other things over time (Doctor Who in the past mainly). I have some of my HP fics up on DeviantArt shyfoxling, but the better move there is to follow me on DW or AO3 if you're actually interested. I don't really post on dA so much as help admin a Snape community and collect lots of stuff lol.

[doranwen]

A very belated reply, but I did see this and intended to respond sooner…


Fandom(s): Where do I *begin*, lol? This post might be a start. For the list without all the commentary, I guess this would be it:

Rookie Blue
Lord of the Rings (books are better than the movies but I enjoy those too - but NOT the Hobbit films)
Women's Murder Club (TV)
1-800-Missing (TV)
Cybergeddon
Alphas
Push (2009)
Leverage (but not the sequel series)
Sue Thomas F.B.Eye
The Pretender
Rizzoli & Isles (TV)
Tomorrow When the War Began (2010)
Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain (1995)
Earth Girl, by Janet Edwards
Hive Mind, by Janet Edwards
Worldweavers, by Alma Alexander
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
FBI (currently airing TV show starring Missy Peregrym)
FBI: Most Wanted (spinoff of FBI)

I also enjoy (with qualifiers about which parts of canon) the following fandoms:
Smallville (S1-S3 only)
X-Men Original Movieverse (first three films only)
The Matrix (first film's my favorite, 2nd/3rd only sort of, didn't care for Resurrections that much, unlike much of the fandom)


Other fannish interests (things you love but can't say you're in the fandom for, exactly):

Flood - the 2007 British disaster film, Stick It - the 2005 gymnastics film, Pern, Talents - also by McCaffrey, The Dark Is Rising, Narnia, Tortall, Circle of Magic, Riddle-master, Song for the Basilisk, Valdemar, A Wrinkle in Time, Invitation to the Game, The Girl Who Owned a City…

I'll read fic for them, but I generally won't seek it out except maybe once in a blue moon.



Are there any DW communities for your fandom(s) you'd recommend?

No, I tried to create one for Rookie Blue but the fandom is just plain dead.



Are there any communities for your fandom(s) outside DW you'd recommend?

For L&C, I do recommend the message boards, but I haven't been to them for years (lcficmbs.com, I think? don't have the link offhand). Been too busy with other fandoms.



Rec a fanwork you created (one per fandom):

Oh boy… To save on time, I'm not going to list wordcount but I'll mention if I think you need a warning for something.

Alphas (TV): like air
First fic I wrote in an AU series (though it actually places 4th - but can be read on its own).

The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien: Dawn of Fealty
Was a toss-up between this one and an AU one I wrote awhile back, but this one I particularly like the summary and title as well as the ficlet.

Push (2009): Five Ways Nick Didn't Meet Cassie and One Way He Did
A 5+1 fic I'm particularly proud of; had a lot of fun coming up with the different AUs. Very much Nick/Cassie in some of them.

Leverage: Five Criminal Things Maggie Learned to Do (And One She Didn't)
Another 5+1 fic I think was one of my better ones. I particularly like the AU here.

Rookie Blue: you may be a chance I need to take
A canon divergence for 1x08. I almost went with the more recent tropey "Don't Have to Know Canon" fic I wrote for MFTF, but this one's better, I think.

X-Men (Original Timeline Movies): Four Ways X2 Could Have Ended (and One Way It Did)
An early 5+1 variant (I only got to 4+1 with this one) that I think turned out pretty good.

Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis: at the intersection of then and now
An AU where the Pevensies return to 2019 England instead of 1940 when they exit the wardrobe.

Smallville: Inception
A Clark/Chloe canon divergence for 2x01.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman: A Sure Bet
A fun outsider POV fic with some mutual pining.

Rizzoli & Isles: if these eyes are windows
A post-6x13 fic that actually shows some of the post-traumatic stress effects with Maura and Jane there for her.

FBI (TV 2018): drink of stinging grief
A very angsty double drabble.

Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye: Christmas Eve Decisions
A sappy holiday casefic.

Born of Hope (2009): Hope Preserved
An AU that changes who lives and dies.

C-16: FBI: Aftershock
8k of an adventure/trust-building fic for a show no one's heard of, lol.

Speed (1994): chosen and open our moment
Annie and Jack dealing with their fame - and loving each other.

A Little Princess - Frances Hodgson Burnett: Largesse
An obsessively-researched future fic, one of my earlier ones that I'm still quite proud of.

Tomorrow When the War Began (2010): Hanging by a Thread
An older fic of mine which gives some insight into Homer's mind during a couple key scenes, and adds a missing scene to it.

Women's Murder Club (TV): Fear for Courage
A Lindsay/Cindy case fic set just after To Drag and To Hold.

The Boxcar Children - Gertrude Chandler Warner: with a little luck, a little bit of faith
A complete rewrite of the original book, set in modern times. Inspired a good deal by the children's book The Girl Who Owned a City.

The Matrix (Movies): I have you to save my day
An AU of the first film.

The Secret Garden (1993): Perennials
A drabble sequence that finds a somewhat unusual solution to the Colin/Mary/Dickon triangle.



Rec a fanwork someone else created (one per fandom):

That's absolutely impossible for me to do. Look here and you'll see why, lol.



Rec meta you created for your fandom (podcast, essay, etc.):

I've done very little meta-writing, but this is an analysis of the plot threads for Rookie Blue.


Rec meta someone else created for your fandom:

No idea. I've read too many things over the years to recall something specific.


Rec something I didn't think to list:

Can't think of anything.


Are you open to fandom friends on DW?

Only sort of. I won't add back because I'm too busy and pretty much all my posts these days are public anyway. I definitely won't subscribe because I have too much to keep up with. But I don't mind people friending me.


Are you open to followers in other spaces?

I'm not visible in other spaces, unless you mean AO3, in which yes, feel feel to subscribe to me there, lol.

[linky]

Fandom(s): I've always had my fingers in several pies all at once, I've just always operated like that. But here's my biggest ones of note: Captain Harlock/The Leijiverse as a whole, The Legend of Zelda, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and an endless list of anime before the year 2000. In terms of more recent fandoms I've gotten into: Kamen Rider and Spy x Family. (Active social participation varies, but I've been working on being more social in the past few years after being a lurker for so long. In terms of these fandoms I've either written or drawn fanworks of them at some point or plan to in the future/have wips in the works in a few other cases.)

Other fannish interests (things you love but can't say you're in the fandom for, exactly): Scott Pilgrim, Vocaloid (Used to be in the fandom back in the late 00's-early 10s, not these days though and am not caught up with it), Avatar the last airbender, Xenoblade series, along with some others. (Will read and enjoy fic from time to time and will always admire fanart I come across even if I am not partaking in their fandoms actively.)

Are there any DW communities for your fandom(s) you'd recommend? anime_manga, classic_anime, kamenrider (All of these have varying degrees of activity)

Are there any communities for your fandom(s) outside DW you'd recommend? None that I know of myself yet.

Rec meta you created for your fandom (podcast, essay, etc.): I do write meta, but so far all I have posted is about fandom itself, I haven't posted any meta about a specific fandom so far. (I've got some in the works though!)

Rec meta someone else created for your fandom: Recently I found this blog post talking about how the Greeed in Kamen Rider OOO, could be read as a metaphor for being disabled. (Warning, the post contains spoilers!)

Are you open to fandom friends on DW? Yes, absolutely!

Are you open to followers in other spaces? Also yes, while I am making an effort to not really be too active on social media these days I am open to having followers in other spaces if they want to ask.

:00 this is such an interesting topic, i hope a lot of people fill out so i can scout out what most people like too!

Fandom(s):
I’m mostly a lurker + enjoy a lot of things, so this list’s more about the ones I’m willing to interact with other people for!

Identity V (I haven’t played in a long time and don’t really follow it anymore, but I’m always up for some fic reading, if that counts :D)

Manga I’m currently invested in: Spy × Family, Cipher Academy, The Ichinose Family’s Seven Deadly Sins, Blue Period

Manga I’m just a casual reader to (but I do follow every release!): Chainsaw-man, Oshi no Ko, Ghostbuster Academy, Houseki no Kuni

Manhwa that I really like but haven’t found much fandom activity for: Park Nodeok’s For Your Love and Form Of Sympathy

Project Vinland’s releases: Vinland Saga, Yomi no Tsugai

Other fannish interests (things you love but can't say you're in the fandom for, exactly): Hmm… Mo Dao Zu Shi, I guess?

Are there any DW communities for your fandom(s) you'd recommend?
If something broader counts, I’d say anime_manga and c_ent. I don’t think active fandom-specific communities exist.

Are there any communities for your fandom(s) outside DW you'd recommend?
None, for now (though it’s mostly because I’m not very active in finding communities! :P)

Rec a fanwork someone else created (one per fandom)
I don’t have one for every fandom, but here goes!

[Identity V] Three Men before the End by Janitorbot - if JackNaib’s your thing, this work (or any work by the same author really) features great characterization and well-researched background details.

[MDZS] good hunting by baekhyun - I’d say it feels sober and concise to me, which pairs well with JC’s personality imo, and makes for a refreshing read in context of a genre such as Time-travel fix-it. Not everything’s all right with the world again, but we do have very touching moments of rekindling relationships.

[JJBA] Dissolve, slowly by megsaroni88 - Yeah, I know I didn’t list Jojo as a fandom up there but I did read some stuff for it. This one is Jotaro/Kakyoin and I’m rec’ing it because it’s one of the few that don’t make me feel like I’m having trouble reconciling the fannish characterization with the canon one.

Rec meta someone else created for your fandom:
Detangling JC, his motivations, & his feelings on WWX (i) by asideoftrashplease on tumblr: The lense it provides to canon really makes a lot of sense and explains everything - it’s like an eureka moment! I’m eagerly waiting for part ii, if there’ll be any.

Rec something I didn't think to list:
Hmm… none, for now.

Are you open to fandom friends on DW?
I’m very open to it as a concept, but I have doubts to whether it’s achievable in reality. There are few people on DW and I’m afraid not liking/thinking the same about the same thing will discourage any friendship from prospering.

Are you open to followers in other spaces? Sure! Do know that I’m not always reblogging fandom-related posts though.
