Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.

Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.


I like creating massive meme pileups! *thumbs-up*

Also, someone please tell me why I never end up liking the Big Popular Pairing What Actually Has Fic in any fandom I get into. It would make my life so much less frustrating if I could just ship what everyone else ships for once.

If you ever discover the secret to this, please share it. *facepalm*

ETA: I take back my entire comment, as the real secret for finding fic for your pairings is just shipping A2WG*.

The really sad thing is this appears to hold up even in cartoon fandoms where the characters are robots who don't have skin. A and B are voiced by white guys; C and D are voiced by black guys. Between A/B, A/C, and A/D, guess which one has more fic. No, go on, guess.

Granted I have no objection to A/B (not into it, but whatever), but there you go.

Favorite ReBoot ship? Spill!

Join the club, this happens to me quite often. *facepalm* The real reason I wrote all that Ian/Barbara fic a few years ago? Because I couldn't find any. And thus, why I was rather astonished to find myself shipping the canon on-screen pairing in SR...

When I first watched ReBoot, it was definitely Bob/Dot because I like both the characters (especially Bob), and also because it was canon and I wasn't very creative as far as shipping went. On rewatching (even if I'm still not finished, boo) I still ship them a lot (, but I'm also starting to see the possibilities in Bob/Enzo (Matrix), given the way young!Enzo hero-worshipped Bob before the timeskip and his more complicated relationship with the Guardians in general and Bob in particular (and Bob's absence) afterward. I'll have to finish up Season 3 and 4 and see how that goes.

The real reason I wrote all that Ian/Barbara fic a few years ago? Because I couldn't find any.

That's as good a reason as any! Heck, one of the reasons I write fanfiction at all is to fill in gaps in the existing fanfictional landscape. Though considering that Ian/Barbara is EU canon and they have their whole lives ahead of them for things to happen in, it surprises me that there isn't much more fic about them.

I shipped Bob/Dot quite strongly at first too, when I first got into the series in high school. Though the season 4 wangst kinda soured me on the pairing... I do still ship them, though. But nowadays it's more the cute, bantery season 1-2 Bob/Dot than the later relationship.

To be terribly honest, I'm probably more of a Dot/Mouse shipper now than I am anything else. One episode of arguing, then they suddenly clicked. And once they did, they were barely out of each others' sight for the rest of the series. :D

It's quite frustrating too. You haven't enough time to read them all, most of them are not the characterization you're searching for, and you've got this nagging feeling that you've never found the better ones...
I like some kind of middle ground for my pairings. :-)

And, since we're in it, my fannish questions : what would you like to see more in fanfic world ? Can be pairings, genres, themes, tropes, maybe listing a few fics-I-always-wanted-to-read-but-never-found, with details.
