Calling all readers and writers of fanfiction...
So, I need a favour, guys.
I'm supposed to be writing an essay for my genre writing class. It's already on its second extension, so I reeeally do need to start finish it this week..
Anyway, I'm writing my essay on FANFICTION. Because according to my class, it counts as a genre enough for me to write an essay on it :P
For those interested, it's about "genre as a social contract", and I have to discuss it using two detailed examples. That's where you guys come into it!
Basically, I need recs or offers of fics I could use. I wouldn't be reproducing the entire fic/s, but I would presumably need to quote them somewhere. I'd love it if the authors on my list could offer one of their own pieces, because it means I don't have to add extra time onto it, email people and then waiting for their permission to use their fic.
Ideally, I'd like:
- Fics in fandoms that I'm at least a little familiar with.
- At least one "long", completed fic.
- Either another fic as above, or a short one/series of drabbles/WIP
- Fics that demonstrate themes/devices/author-fan engagement that I can comment on - even better if they've been posted in a community of some form, and the community has responded.
Maybe I can do something on the communities that form around fanfic? For that, two pieces from the same fandom/pairing etc, both of which were posted in communities would be great! Or two pieces from very different communities....
ANYWAY. If y'all could help me out, that'd be awesome :) if unsure, just rec me your favourite fics that are well written and posted in an active community. Links, please!
