LEGEND OF THE SEEKER FANDOM PRIMER POST
For my wonderful Ari, and anyone else who might be looking to dip their toes into this fandom/show!
I. TUMBLR BLOGS:
II. FANDOM SHENANIGANS:
- DEEJ's AMAZING SEEKER RE-CAPS They single-handedly birthed the hilarious cracky atmosphere for this fandom. I remember one person recalling it as something to the effect of "this fandom's weekly collective laugh." So very very true :') How I personally found the online fandom, and EPIC FOURTH-WALL-BREAKING LEGEND [X] [X]
- GAY FOR KAHLAN REVOLUTION in which Bridget's Bewbz receive their proper due from their loyal subjects
- SWORDOFLIES@LIVEJOURNAL subsequent brainchild of deej in the overwhelming response to GFK, and always good for a laugh.
III. VID RECS:
- Lights will guide you home - made in response to the SAVE OUR SEEKER campaign of Summer of 2010 and always always makes me cry. Really beautiful editing. Literally flawless.
- The Good Life - again, so many tears. but at least they're happy, bittersweet ones :'''')
- Fill Me With Your Poison - Holy mother confessor we were so obsessed with this vid OH MAH GAWWWDDDSS. Like, the editing, music choice and pacing is just so... sexy. There's no other way to describe it x'D THIS VIDEO IS HAWT HAWT HAWT.
- Okay, and can I just say that this fandom is positively prophetic???! Because these vids were all made WELL before every one of those songs became a huge radio hit and everyone and their mother were using them for fanvids. TRUFAX.
IV. CAST VIDEOS/INTERVIEWS (AKA: REASONS AND *HARD* EVIDENCE FOR MY IRL SHIPPING):
V. FANFICTION OOOOOOHHH YEAHHHH
- STORM BORN - oh my ever loving christ this is one of the best best bestttttttttttttttttttt LOTS fics out there. ever. in the history of fanfiction. It has won a bunch of lotsfic awards for a reason. An AU based off an alternate sequence of events from "Touched" and it is s t u n n i n g. It's an epic in every sense of the word, and it's completed (pft, those of us who had to wait for updates- wow, trying times my friend. very trying indeed.
- lotseekerfic @ LJ - A good place to browse for fic.
- Ok, damn. Either these guys are too good of authors for me to pick just a few of their works, or I am just a totally indecisive sloth. Probably both, ngl. but yeah--
- SEEKERS OF FIC oh my god, these ladies!!! queens of LOTS fic all in one place. so so convenient. (and dude, their ~good~ stuff is comm-locked (i think? last time i checked...), so if you have to, MAKE AN LJ ACCT AND JOIN THE COMM SO YOU CAN GET ALL THE GOODIES. I'M SERIOUS. IT'S WORTH ITTTTT)
- OK AND IF YOU HAVEN'T SELF-COMBUSTED BY THEN AND ARE STILL HUNGRY FOR SMUT AND WANT TO EXPLORE THE DEEP DARK DEPTHS OF THE SMUTTIER AND/OR RPF CULTURE OF THIS FANDOM (ahem, of which i am a card-carrying member x'D)...
More recs of any kind are more than welcome in the comments!
