there MUST be fanfic of this; tell me there is fanfic of this!

[inkvoices]

Last summer myself and a bunch of friends passed around some DVDs and books, because there are some fannish things where we have an overwhelming urge to share. (We're all still working our way through stuff. Shhh, we're slow.) For my part, I'm making sure they're familiar with Firefly, Dollhouse, and Neil Gaiman amongst other wonderful. Anyway

Out of Sight, Out of Mind was, perhaps, one of my all time favorite episodes! The mere fact that he turns something "bad" on it's head and it turns out being the thing that makes the girl special in the end. I love that!

If there is fanfic, it's most likely on those early Buffy fansites. I don't know of many from that early era that have moved their stuff over to AO3 or ff.net but I could be wrong.

It is a pretty cool concept that could be run with pretty far!

I'm finding with Buffy that there's no huge surprises so far - I'm familiar enough with the main arcs, I watched a few episodes in the past - but the dialogue and the humour and the antics are like coming home, just, the writing of it, and I'm loving linking lots of details together that I'd missed before. But then stuff like the ending of that episode - I did not see that coming and it's perfect and it screams a whole other offshoot world to the show and it's so damn Joss :D

I'm behind, meh. I don't think I'm gonna end up in it as a fandom, if only because the fandom has passed me by, but I really do fancy an FBI school for invisible teenagers training to be spies and assassins. Maybe because of Master Assassin love LOL. I'll have to have a rumage in the nets.

...I should not have thought that. I do NOT need another Clint/Natasha AU idea! But...invisable assassins...must resist...

It brings to mind a whole scenerio where someone says "we have to train up this next group of super heroes right" with a fist slamming on a table after Tony royally screws up. It seems like something Kate would be involved in.

I love Kate :D And that idea is fun! You should write that idea *evil enabling grin*

But my brain mashed it with the whole Clint High School foster genre and...what if being fostered didn't make Clint all scruffy clothed and bullied, but made him not stick out at all? And he enabled that, because he wants to fit in. And that makes him invisible. And things happen and he ends up at the school for invisible people, which is probably SHIELD run in my head, and there he meets Natasha.

(Although my first thought was straight-up, Macey's story. But I cross and fuse everything with Clint/Natasha in my head these days lol.)

[lar_laughs]

That is an awesome idea (re: fostering)! I think that would have totally made a difference! It would change the dynamics of him.

I think I will run with my idea. You run with yours (I have my enabling grin out, as well) and we'll meet in the middle.

Still contemplating the Commas By Debate AU and trying to figure out a purpose for it. It has nothing to do with these ideas but I thought if it as thinking of these.

[inkvoices]

The idea is in the ideas notebook! Don't know if it'll beat fruit though. I'm not gonna say I'll match you fic for fic because then I'll feel like my cheering you on is contingent on me having written and that I'm letting you down if I don't write and...yeah :( But I will consider myself enabled and if thinky thoughts happen I will deliver them unto you!

The idea of commas by debate still amuses me :)

[lar_laughs]

Oh, yes yes! I don't want you to feel beholden AT ALL. No icky feelings where writing is concerned! I'm dealing with enough of that from other venues as it is. Go and create as the muses see fit!

I think Commas by Debate may be my excuse to write smaller interconnected stories. I always like having that sort of idea running around so that I can write it for challenges and stuff and it's not a huge long story but a bunch of connected stories that can be read separately or together.

The one picture I have of them in my head is at practice and Tony is bossing them all around about something. Clint and Natasha are rolling their eyes at each other. Steve is over in the corner, lost in some music or lyrics or something. They're all just very cosy with each other, even if they want to hang Tony from the clocktower in the middle of the commons.

And I came super late to the fandom, myself. I only started watching Buffy after Firefly came and went. Surprisingly enough, that was the fandom (although it was more of a Joss Whedon fandom than a Buffy fandom) I was a part of about 4 years ago when I came back to fandom. You'd be amazed where you'll find packets of fans that are still excited about fanfic.

Firefly <3 Althogh stillflying.net is now gone, and, even though fandoms can be active in some areas, they do tend to fade and fold, y'know? Like a load of the old X Men sites are gone as well. And people don't always chat so much about the older fandoms, possibly because they've exhausted what they have to say, I dunno, I'm guilty of that.

Anyway, yes. Firefly and Browncoats and Joss <3
