F!S Anon Meme (the Fifth)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

(LJ's still lagging here and there, good luck.)

Ooh, let me think *steeples fingers*

The Eagle of the Ninth, by Rosemary Sutcliff? Written for older children, but I love it anyway, and pretty epically bromantic. Advntures in Roman Britain, yay! (Stay away from the film, it's not a very good/ faithful adaptation).

Seconding Sherlock Holmes.

The Aubrey-Maturin series, by Patrick O'Brian, centres on a brilliant friendship and spans, idek, a couple of decades, if you're into naval/ historical fiction (although it's not 100% boats, there is also politics and romance and spyhatting). There is also a decent-sized fandom!

Hmm. Things like The Three Musketeers, The Lord of the Rings and the Temeraire series have a fair amount of bromance, but it's less centre-staged, perhaps.

Also, I haven't read the Epic of Gilgamesh, but from what I've heard it would fit your citerior.

Er, sorry for the tl;dr, I got a bit carried away XD

*criterior and probably *ships

Missed your Sherlock Holmes note as well, apologies! No reading comprehension cookie for me, haha.

That's okay! :) You get a cookie for taking the time to dig up all those recs! Thank you, anon!

Hahaha. Epic of Gilgamesh IS really bromantic. It's sort of a "Women suck, bromance FTW!" sort of story...
Definitely one of the most epic bromances ever, though.
(Achilles and Patrocolus in the Iliad also works, if you're doing the ancient myth thing. Or David and Jonathon in the Old Testament.)
