Apparently I found my fandom?
I largely gave up on fanfic years ago. Oh, I look at it now and then, but I don't expect to find anything good.
I did read a bunch of Yotsuba&! fic a while back. Some of it was OK.
Lately, though, I discovered a whole heap of Narnia fic at AO3, much of it recent. Years ago, I went looking for Narnia fic, and there wasn't much. Thanks to the movie fandom, AO3, and fic exchanges, there's now a fair bit. And some of it is all right.
One thing I am bemused by is that some people want to cross over Narnia with Middle-Earth and/or elves. Elves? In Narnia? Narnia has wiggles, humanoid stars, giants, and dwarves with one or two legs, but I don't recall elves, and I'm not sure they belong. And of course Middle-Earth is ostensibly the ancient past of elves and gnomes in a world that may be our own, while Narnia is a different reality accessed by cross-world travel in the recent past, so it feels off to me.
It shouldn't, I suppose.
