Fans 'r' awesome
Monday, August 25th, 2008 06:04 pmThe creativity that fandom nurtures and celebrates makes me grin hard.
E. frakkin' G.:
luzula writes excellent fanfic, and creates mellifluous podfic as well. (Particularly impressive since English is not her native language.) I especially adore Shifting and Running, both set in a due South AU where lycanthropy runs in the Fraser family.
This brought to mind
truepenny and
matociquala's slash-o-riffic novel A Companion to Wolves. I checked
truepenny's journal to see if there was an excerpt, and found this intriguing phrase: mix them and my world dissolves.
Which jumped me to
petronelle's spot-on, funny, and deeply disturbing crossover between due South and A Companion to Wolves. The more you know about each canon, the funnier this story is, but it's pretty damn wonderful all on its ownsome.
As these wonderful women piece together tropes and feelings and flights of fancy, they carry on the glorious tradition of the quiltmakers and herbalists: making art and pleasure in community.
