The whole brothers discussion and no one came up with Boondock Saints?
I wouldn't call Boondock Saints a fandom. Though it is one of the very few sources where I look at it and say, "Yeah, I could see that."
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

Fake, you say? Fabulous! God love you, Anne - I'm very much wandering around unfamiliar shores without a map, and there's so freaking MUCH of it, and one can't actually open the books because they're all sealed with plastic - or, well, one can, but you're supposed to take them to the counter for the staff to unseal, and I couldn't not buy something after that - so I'm sort of lost. I bought what I thought was a Vampire Hunter D manga, thinking it sounded promising, and it turned out to be a bloody novel, to my annoyance. I mean, it might be a very good novel, but I thought I was getting manga. Damn it.
Fake. Cool.
And, hell yes, check out Eroica, for it is the shiniest, most swashbuckling thing - think Velvet Goldmine crossed with James Bond and The Scarlet Pimpernel, with more than a dash of The Man from UNCLE. Klaus/Dorian - they're just unspeakably adorable. And grownups. And together they fight the KGB and do crime, while bickering like mad.
(I've been hoping that the writer has other books out, because I do love the artwork and the stories both - but so far no joy.)
eta some links to pictures, and the information that she's written quite a lot of rather lovely looking things, generally of a swashbuckling historical nature. But they're not translated into English.
blows nose.

I, conversely, was listening to a 6 year old read a story called 'Little Teddy Helps Mouse' (in which Mouse foolishly falls into a muddy puddle despite Little Teddy's warning, is greatly disorientated and discomfited, and has to be helped home by Little Teddy, with the implication that there is to be a bath in his immediate future) and found myself going 'Hmm...hurt/comfort.' And then sort of choking.

...Anne, you don't know anything about GokuSen fanfic, do you? I went to fanfiction net, but it's just so soul-destroying having to wade through crap in the hopes of finding something good. And, er, you're now my go-to girl for anything manga/anime related (for I am So. Totally. Out. Of. My. Element).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That's fantastic!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I was just coming to see if someone had posted that! Excellent interview, and to no one's surprise Lum comes off very well.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Fay, LJ comms are usually your best bet for anime fanfiction. I'll see what I can dig up.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Wow. And, you know, well-earned. Wow.
