Fanwork for old fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

What's the oldest and/or most obscure fandom you've ever done fanwork for? Or wanted to do fanwork for?

I working on a Some Like it Hot fic right now that I doubt anyone will read, so I'm curious.

[intrigueing]

I WILL READ IT. SEND IT TO ME. :D

I have wanted to do AU fanfics about some ancient greek plays that have weird or suggestive endings. An AU of the Lysistrata, for instance, where all the men just go gay instead.

Oldest and most obscure? Probably a Wives and Daughters fanfic, based on a book written by Elizabeth Gaskell in the mid 1800s. It's a lot of pointless smut but I'd still like to finish it and quietly sneak it up on the internet somewhere.

I've read and bookmarked Some Like It Hot fic on AO3, so there's at least one other person who'd read it, and probably more.

Oldest screen fandoms I've written ... I've a fusion fic with Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Oldest pure fic is for Arsenic and Old Lace. Books, I'd say the oldest/most obscure I've written is fic for Alexandre Dumas' Valois Romances. Unless we're counting fanfic for the Book of Enoch, which is obscure with bonus blasphemy. I've also written fic for a couple of old TV westerns, a couple of neo-noir movies (L.A. Confidential and Dark City) and a few old cartoons.

I write most of my fic in bigger, more current fandoms, but I write one-off fic for most anything that catches my fancy. Some of them even get read, too.

Yes Minister - a British comedy from the 80s. Besides myself there are only two other people in the fandom lol!

I love YM! what pairing so you write?

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

What makes you think they write a pairing?

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

Ayrt Awesome! :) The story I'm working on is Bernard + Annie Hacker friendship with one sided and unrequited Bernard/Annie. IDEK.

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

[solticisekf]

omg, there's not enough Bernard and Annie in fandom! :D

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

[fingalsanteater]

I WILL RWAD THAT!

I wrote a smut fic for Fangface, a shitty Scooby-Doo rip off from the '70's.

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

I wrote a Doogie Howser fic...last year, I think. That's probably the oldest fic I've done...unless you want to count a Star Wars fic set during The Empire Strikes Back. It's just that Star Wars as an entity seems so everpresent, it's hard to view it as old, even though Empire is technically early 80s.

Not counting Greek myth stuff, the "oldest source" is a Jeeves and Wooster space AU. (Jeeves is an android gentlemen's gentleman.) Most obscure is probably the Koori (aka Ice-Cold Demon's Tale) or the Midare Somenishi fics I did for Yuletide.

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

I would totally read Jeeves and Wooster space AU.

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

[silverr]

The Woosteriad

Thank you!

Jigsaw, the text adventure from 1995. I have produced the only extant fanfic for it, as far as I can tell. There's also two pieces of fanart, which are in the Let's Play thread that introduced me to the game. I know the Let's Players found my fic, because there's a post about it in the thread, and I think that's where the one and only kudos came from.

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

Oldest? Days of Our Lives.

Obscure... probably Vanguard Bandits (Epica Stella).

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

Oldest: definitely Shakespeare, though that's hardly obscure. I've also done fanart for the 1931 Dracula movie.

Re: Fanwork for old fandoms

I am nearly 40k words into a Knights of the Old Republic 2 fic. The source material is 10 years old now, and my impression is that KOTOR2 was always less popular than the original KOTOR anyway (due in part to being rushed/unfinished). It doesn't help that Old Republic (the MMO) has touched a lot more on what happened to Revan and company than what happened to any of the 2 characters.

Not exactly super old or obscure, but I don't expect a lot of readers. Which is fine, because I'm taking the "write what you want to read" advice and writing something that's long, focuses heavily on character interactions, and tries to reconcile issues with the original story.
