PANFANDOM REC MEME

"I ship it!"
"I want fic!"
"I want art!"
"I don't care what it is, but I want it!"
"Where's the fandom?"

Rec meme! You ask for recs, and others provide (or fill!).

Maybe there's something you'd really like to see but you can't find it. Why not ask for help? It might be out there! Or maybe there's something you really loved reading and you want someone to geek over it with. Why not rec it to someone else? Maybe they'll love it too! Who knows, someone out there might be looking for something that sounds exactly like someone you know just created.

Don't feel bad about reccing your own stuff, either. Apparently someone else wants to see it, right?

OBLIGATORY TEXTBOX (optional, dont worry):

Regular post will be up soon!

I don't know about fic, but the two series that come to mind when I think of interesting disabled characters are Avatar: the Last Airbender and Homestuck. ATLA has Toph, who is blind and still kicks more ass than almost anyone else in the cast, and Homestuck has blind Terezi and paraplegic Tavros, who are both totally awesome characters with agency and lots of adventures!

ATLA is already on my to-do list, but ever since I heard there was a follow-up coming out I've been putting it off so that I can watch all four seasons together. I've heard a lot of good things about it, though, for that and other reasons.

Homestuck I've seen on F!S a few times but found the art style kind of off-putting and never bothered taking a closer look. If it's so good, though, I could try giving it a chance...

Do you have any fanwork recs for either series? I don't mind spoilers.

NOTE: blanket spoiler warning for clicking any of the links in this post. Seriously.

Homestuck seems to be one of those things you love or you hate. I really liked it from the beginning, but I know a lot of people didn't like it until they got past the first act or so, so I recommend persevering if you aren't grabbed from the beginning or if you don't really know what's going on. Lots of things unravel and make more sense as you keep reading. If you like lots and lots of characters and complex plots than you will probably enjoy it. I'd definitely give it a try, though; I didn't expect to completely love it the way I did.

I unfortunately don't have much in the way of fanfic recs for either, since I came late to ALTA and I started reading Homestuck about two weeks ago. Here are all the HS fics I have bookmarked so far:

*schooled (http://archiveofourown.org/works/248315)

* - these ones were particularily good.

In terms of fanart, it's much easier to find that for HS than it is fic. Some of the main artists in the fandom seem to be paperpie (http://paperpie.tumblr.com/tagged/homestuck), siins (http://siins.tumblr.com/tagged/homestuck), and roachpatrol (http://roachpatrol.tumblr.com/tagged/fanart).

Aaaand here's some fanmixes too because why the hell not:

The thing about waiting for ATLA is that the new series will not feature any of the older characters. It's more of a future-set sequel. So if you want Toph, you're going to have to stick with S2 and S3 of the current incarnation!
