Post any sort of fandom-related news you feel like discussing here!

2 Old 2 Guard

[(Anonymous)]

Netflix announced yesterday they’re doing more reshoots for The Old Guard sequel in October. Principal filming wrapped in October 2022. The original movie came out in May 2020. My expectations for this movie are in the gutter (especially as an Umbrella Academy watcher, lol. I do not trust Netflix any farther than I can throw them right now).

More like follow-up than news, but ...

I recently read that the German government has stopped blocking the AO3 from Google search, because after scrutiny it turns out the "youth protection" argument that was being used against the site was improper. Obviously they should never have blocked it in the first place, but hey, a win is a win, right?

Things you started shipping in an adaption

[philstar22]

Is there any ship that you only started shipping with an adaption of something?


Just curious. Currently seeing a lot of influx of one of my two OTPs due to Rings of Power, and personally it is making me happy to see more fics get written and more shipping.

I ship/shipped John Watson/Sherlock Holmes in both the Ritchie!Verse and the BBC!Verse, but am largely indifferent to the ship in the ACD!Verse. (Admittedly, I've only read about half the ACD!Holmes short stories, and none of the novels, so it's possible I'd be moved to ship it more if I read more of the canon - but I feel like half of the short stories is enough to have gotten a reasonable clear picture of the character dynamics.)

I ship 2005 Pride & Prejudice Lizzie and Darcy much more strongly than I ship the characters in the novel or the BBC adaptation. I still ship them in the novel, and I do really like the novel, but the 2005 movie is the only version of them I ship in that HNNN MAKE THEM KISS kind of way.

One Piece I guess? Can't stand the anime but really enjoyed the live action show.

I know the reboot movies of Star Trek get a lot of hate in the TOS fandoms, but they're the reason that I got into Spirk in the first place before really getting into the many Star Trek fandoms from that point forwards.

With that said I'm a multi-shipper so I got into both Spock/Kirk and McCoy/Kirk through AOS before I started checking out TOS Spirk; and eventually ended up liking Spock/McCoy and the vast majority of the femslash in TOS.

Are there any fandoms you got into via the fanfic (or fanart, etc)? Which ones?

Re: Based on #1

[(Anonymous)]

I got into Drarry via the fic. I was very bored during lockdown and a mutual of mine had recently started a Drarry recs blog. I had zero interest at first but the fanfic convinced me.

Re: Based on #1

Several! Game of Thrones and Teen Wolf. Plus some where I only watched like one episode of the show like ATLA, MHA, and Shadowhunters.

I got into due South via fanfiction. It was the early days of Napster and due South was never carried by my local tv stations, so I was using fanfiction to see if it was worth the effort to see the show.

Silmarillion. I was mostly a movie-verse fandom for a while. Then I started shipping a couple things from the Hobbit movies. Then I found the Hobbit kink meme. There were a couple Celebrimbor/Sauron fics on there. The ship intrigued me and I started shipping it. Figured I needed to actually read the Silmarillion. Did. Fell totally in love with the writing, the world, everything. I enjoyed it before, but now it was my favorite. I still ship that ship. I don't much ship Hobbit movie stuff anymore, though.

Back in like late 2011 I remember there was a proliferation of BBC Sherlock fanvids on LJ, which is what initially brough the show to my attention and got me curious about it.

Fanfic didn't get me into shipping Marvey, but as someone who's been reading Marvey fanfic on and off since 2012, I can honestly say I really only care about the first episode of Suits. The first episode sets up the characters and establishes their dynamic and basically gives me everything I need to sail that ship around indefinitely. Everything after that first episode is, at best, fine but unnecessary to me, and at worst, much better ignored/forgotten.

Dragon Age

[(Anonymous)]

I read fic first without really knowing anything other than "fantasy video game" and had a lot of fun. Eventually I played the games and that just made me double down on my obsession.

Re: Based on #1

I actually got into Fate from a secret posted here years ago. It involved Waver and Rider from Fate Zero and got me to check out the anime, which got me to read the Stay Night visual novel and eventually led me to watching the subsequent anime adaptations and reading multiple novel translations and playing FGO. So...thanks, I guess?

I would never have checked out Tom Hiddleston as Loki (or the Marvel superhero circus in its current form) if it weren't for how fandom took to him.

Fanfic got me into Supernatural.

Re: Based on #1

[(Anonymous)]

I got into GOT mostly because of this fanvid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HyMl5wJ0s0

Watching again after 10 years, some of the canon VFX do not hold up, lol. But the fan editing still blows me away.

The very first time I did was with Inuyasha waaaay back in the days where people had started to post fanfics onto Quizilla of all places shortly after ffnet got rid of their NC-17 rating.
I only had dial-up internet so I didn't get to stream/DL the full series. I just spent hours downloading a handful of 1 minute clips from a X-Men Evolution fan forum in the Random topics section, where the anime fans were mostly talking about Inuyasha and Hamtaro so I checked them out of curiosity.

Had enough context to know who Sesshoumaru was and so preteen me proceeded to read as many self-insert x Sesshoumaru fics as possible.

Hellaverse stuff, fan translations of Yu Yu Hakusho, Fullmetal Alchemist, X/1999, Barbapapa, Gundam Wing, et cetera.

Favorite female youtubers

[(Anonymous)]

Favorite female youtubers of the educational/informational / practical skills category in particular?

Tons of music/arts/drama/theory ones out there that are easy to find, but looking for more "everyday/practical life skills" type stuff

I'm still on tumblr for the purpose of looking at pretty pictures and whatnot, and there's a person I randomly followed ages ago because they seemed neat and funny. Last I heard, they were in a long term relationship and their partner had a baby, and they sort of drifted away from tumblr. I figured they were off being happy and domestic and didn't have time for social media, which honestly, is really nice for them.

Well, now they're back. And I'm guessing single, because 99% of their posts are nude pics/gifs of women, and horny reblogs about how much they want to touch tits and eat pussy and live happily ever after and also boobs boobs boobs boobs and pussssssaaaaay, etc. None of these posts are tagged nsfw so I can filter them out.

If this person were cismale, I would've unfollowed and blocked them immediately. But they're trans and I dunno, I feel bad. For dumb reasons. As if watching someone be horny as a teenager all the time isn't annoying if it's a transgender person. Ugh.
