Found a fic for the movie The Hitcher (1987) last night. It's one of my favorite movies, but I've never heard anyone else talk about so I was pretty surprised to find a long, fairly in character AU fic for it last night.

Also, there's several fics for Xtro II on AO3! (The horrible sequel that barely qualifies as sequel to a good '80's B alien sci-if.) Apparently, one of the actors in the film was in the X-Files, so the fics seem to be crossovers of a sort.

What about you guys?

I was astonished by how many Baby-sitters Club fics are on AO3.

A Once Upon a Time fic that shipped Archie/Mulan.

I mean, this is a bit hypocritical because I ship a pairing with Archie that has zero canon basis. And I know this is one of those fandoms where there are so many different ships. But for some reason this just surprised me.

For a minute, I thought you meant Archie as in THIS Archie:

and was really confused. Hell of a rare pair.

South Park. Just South Park in general.

Yeah. I wish I could get interested because I ship Kyle/Stan, but it's just too... I dunno. Weird because they are kids and weird because they are cartoons that barely resemble humans.

What gets me more is how much of the fanart is anime style.

It's relatively popular in Japan and there's a lot of fanart for it on pixiv by Japanese artists. So much cute art. Plus weaboos. Lots and lots of weeaboos.

I follow a girl on tumblr because we're in the same anime fandom, and she reblogs a lot of porny fanart, and, well, let's just say I had to blacklist South Park because of her, haha.

Big crossover fandoms, like the big four and superwholock, are weird to me, because they the stuff in them doesn't really have much in commmon other than appealing to a similar demographic.

And the Onceler fandom.

I miss the secrets we used to get about the Onceler. Those were good.

i don't get big four crossovers either.

at least superwholock gets (imho) occasional explanation as to how they could connect.

Just curious, what are the "big four" fandoms? I'm guessing BBC Sherlock, Dr.Who, Avengers, and Supernatural? Or is that what "Superwholock" is?

Tangled, How to Train Your Dragon, Brave, and The Rise of the Guardians.

Oh yeah, and there were a few Yultide fics for The Seafort Saga last year. I had no idea other people liked that series. It's about dudes in the British Space Navy and then everyone dies.

Looney Tunes slash. I mean, I already know it exists, and fuck yeah I can get behind it. I just didn't expect ridiculously angsty Bugs/Daffy fanfiction in which Bugs hearts Daffy, who hearts him, but Marvin the Martian is in love with Daffy also, and Bugs is guilty about overshadowing Daffy in show biz, and Daffy is now going to be in a hit series with Marvin, and now Bugs is fuuuuuuuuck

The art for the fandom can get so angsty too.

I'm overwhelmed by everyone's emotions 8C

I... I, uh.

Now this is fandom I really didn't know existed. Angsty Looney Toons slash. Wow. I'm reading that fic now btw.

I'll never watch the Loony Toons the same again.

Yo. Forgot to request that you tell me how it ends or how the cliffhanger turns out. I couldn't finish it without feeling bad for not being possessed by the feels enough.

Good god, I did not need to see that. Link next time, please, or maybe put a warning in the comment subject line?

whoa that picture is huge. I forget that direct linking images from tumblr sometimes means window poppers.

Warn for gore?

That's some good art. Do you have a link to the artist's tumblr or website?

Yup.

not-a-comedian/

tv-show is awesome. Her on-model fanart is fantastic, as is her original stuff.

I found Bible fanfic when I was a teenager and still very self-~~righteous~~involved in my faith. Needless to say I noped outta there with much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Some crossovers you can immediate understand why an author might have connected the fandoms, but sometimes there are ones that seem to come out of left field. That said, I love me some crossovers and I like the ones that take a ship and use other characters that the actors have played as an echo of that ship, no matter how bizarre. Like if you liked Ray Kowalski/Benton Fraser, you might go for a Hard Core Logo/Tales of the City crossover Billy Tallent/Brian Hawkins (as played by Callum Keith Rennie and Paul Gross, respectively) as in Shadows Fade(http://aukestrel.com/fic/shadowsfade.html).

When I found the Yuletide fics, I was surprised by how many Georgette Heyer fics there were. That actually goes for Breakfast Club, too.

I'm pleased that Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition has inspired as much fan art as it does.
