Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I ship Susan with pretty much everyone. Fine, Ford, Rayna, Nancy, Aldo, even Crocker and de Luca. They’re all good! WHERE IS ALL THE FIC? Where are the AU gifsets? Where’s the fandom?! I don’t undersand how a movie with such great shipping opportunities can have no fandom.

BS! Susan/Aldo is my favourite ship. I feel like I’m doing it wrong even if I did find the fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

While Fandom says they want great stories about women of all body types, they only want to write and draw about hot guys fucking each other (with the occasional children's show throw in).

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but sadly I think you make a good point. But not all fandoms rely on that. You'd be surprised.

[(Anonymous)]

This is true. Saying they want the former gives them cause to bitch about everything that they don't have and ignoring what they do get in favor of the latter ensures that they'll never run out of things to bitch about.

And really, isn't that the internet is for? The ability to loudly bitch about how wronged we all are by the patriarchy/white men/straight men/brainwashed women?

[(Anonymous)]

At this point, is a post like this even necessary? Let alone the constant repetition of posts exactly like this?

[fingalsanteater]

Agreed.

[fingalsanteater]

or, you know, we can want both? More good stories featuring women of different body types and hot dudes fucking each other? Wanting one thing doesn't mean the other can't still exist.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah....but OP was talking about fandom particularly fics, AU GIFsets, and shipping.

[(Anonymous)]

That's what people say when their fave doesn't have a fandom, but it could just be that in case that movie doesn't have what it takes to get a fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll admit Spy fic never even occurred to me! But yeah, now that you mention it...

Is there a sequel planned, btw? I couldn't figure that out. The ending made me feel like this is meant to be a series.

[(Anonymous)]

My money's on a sequel happening. It's had pretty good box office staying power via great reviews and word of mouth. My brother and I have both seen it twice already.

[(Anonymous)]

I just saw this movie the other day! I like Susan/Ford, but I think it's mostly because I love Jason Statham.

[(Anonymous)]

I think comedy movies generally don't attract big fandoms? Comedy shows do, for some reason, but the big movie fandoms are all more drama/SF/action. Even if they're funny, they're rarely marketed as actual comedies (Kingsman comes to mind - it's hilarious, but it's not a comedy as such, it's marketed as an action/comic movie).

I'll admit that I mostly ship Fine/Ford because the posh vs. working class thing REALLY works for me. And I find slash hotter than het or femslash, but even so I ended up shipping just about everyone in the movie, just not enough to write fic.

[(Anonymous)]

I think Spy is pretty actiony, though - yes, it's action comedy, but it's not like it's a slapstick comedy starring Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt It is, but the way it was marketed still made it look like more of a typical comedy. I think a lot of people didn't even watch it because the trailer just made it look incredibly silly. I only watched it because I love Jason Statham and I was surprised by how good it was, but I expected it to be one of those cringeworthy terrible comedies I usually hate.

[(Anonymous)]

Heck yeah! I liked Susan with Aldo a ridiculous amount, though Ford was a close second. Also, I am very tempted to write Nancy/50 Cent fic... :/

OP of Spy secret back in june

[(Anonymous)]

HELLO. I haven't read the other comments yet I'm just so excited to see another secret. Your ships are my ships, except Susan/Crocker. Even Susan/Aldo.

There were a few fics on A03 when I last checked!

AO3 roundup as of today, FYI

Now there are 11 works, including one in Russian and one person's thoughts on the movie (not a fic, I don't get why people use AO3 as a blog, but they said they might write a crossover where Susan meets Black Widow, and they mentioned a cute idea about Susan getting a cool, sexy cover for once and Fine 'posing' as her boytoy).

Mostly Susan/Ford, one Susan/Fine, some with both, one Susan/Nancy, and an unfortunate zero Susan/Aldo.

Also no Fine/Ford and Nancy/50 Cent. I would totally read those, commenters above.

Re: SA

[(Anonymous)]

The lack of Fine/Ford makes me sad. The potential for banter and angry hate sex! Then again I was also a bit sad that they barely interacted in the movie itself. I know the film wasn't about them and I'm glad that it always focused on Susan, but it would have been nice to have a bit more banter and bitching from Fine and Ford in the background.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I finally read the other secrets and noticed #10 already mentions AO3 fics. My bad.

[sienamystic]

I am picking up what you're putting down, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

That art just made my day. Love it.

[(Anonymous)]

comedies don't really get fandoms, OP
