That's about it!

Fandom Recruitment Thread

(Anonymous) 2014-07-14 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
It seems pretty frequent on F_S that posters will say "I wish more people were into my fandom..." which isn't really a secret, but feels like an attempt to stir up conversation and interest in the fandom.

So -- this is the chance to talk about your fandom and why more people should be into it. A canon you wish more people would consume, or talk about, or fandoms where there are one or two people writing good fic but not enough people responding or appreciating it. (This doesn't have to be small fandoms. This is also the place for "I'm in a big fandom but only 1 or 2 writers are interpreting it the way I want.)

I don't actually have an example for myself; rather, I'm looking for cool fandoms to be part of.

I remember loving it, but it's been a while since I saw it.

This reminds me that I think "headcanon" sounds dumb but I can't figure out what people used to call "beliefs about fictional people and places beyond what is shown in canon"

MAGI: THE LABYRINTH OF MAGIC

(Anonymous) 2014-07-14 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I love this story and this fandom so much. The fanart is varied and wonderful, the meta (when you can find it) is fantastic, BUT... there needs to be more fan fiction. The fan fiction presence in the Magi fandom is tragically small, and I really want to read more than just the most popular pairings OVER AND OVER AGAIN. :D So please... fan fiction writers... WRITE! :D

Oh, and Magi is a fantastic series, 10/10 would extremely recommend. :D

Magi has a lot of doujin - it is popular and so gets translated.

different to fic, but can still hit the spot, in a pinch.

TORIKO!

(Anonymous) 2014-07-14 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
This is an awesome awesome manga that manages to combine Fist of the North Star, BL manga and Hell's Kitchen.

and it is AWESOME!!!

Plus, the little fanfic there is pretty much completely averts sturgeons law.
