Slashy Nominations 39: Revenge of the Small Fandoms

[thefourthvine]

I dedicate this Slashy set to Isaac Asimov. I'm re-reading I, Robot (because I want to have some happy memories to carry me through the horror that will be the movie), and I've realized that Mike Donovan and Gregory Powell were the very first slashy pairing I ever recognized, back when I was 10 and innocent and had never even heard of fan fiction

Yup; crossover Slashies are in the works, and I have a little list of them waiting patiently for an opportune moment. But if you have any favorite Xover stories, I would love to hear about them. Every little helps!

And I'm glad you're enjoying my LJ. Thanks, and hi back at you!

Ooo. Thanks for the recs. I couldn't actually watch Hard Core Logo, because it reminded me way too much of an old friend (who essentially is Joe Dick), but I will gladly read the FF anyway; god knows I do not hesitate to embrace strange fandoms. (Yes, go ahead, say it: fandom slut.) Two questions that might help me a bit with these stories, though:

1. What is Iron Chef?

2. When you say Tales of the City, I assume you mean Armistead Maupin's series of books set in a sort of slightly AU San Fransisco during the '70s and '80s? Because my brain is reeling at the thought of combining Mouse et al with Fraser et al.

Though, come to think of it, the Due South universe and the Tales of the City universe have a lot in common. I'm sort of starting to see how it could work.

Thanks!

(I in no way intended to imply that fandom sluttishness was a bad thing. Hey, I write this LJ in hopes of bringing more people into the fanslut fold, so you know I'm for it

Oh, wow. I am now so, so, so glad that I didn't finish watching that movie. Because I could not have handled seeing that character, of all people, shoot himself; he's...it's...eeek. Thanks for telling me.

That makes sense, actually; there's a clear implication at the end of the last Tales book that Brian's sort of re-doing his life, and I can easily see him returning to the legal fold. Interesting. Must read this fic now.

And I must also take a deep breath and borrow the Tales mini from the library. I can't believe anyone would ever make a miniseries out of the book - I don't even see how they could - so I'm interested to see how to came out. Scared, but curious.

Story of my life, actually.

And thanks for the help!

No, I didn't know that. I watched a very small portion of HCL with my Best Beloved, until we both concluded that a) Joe Dick was that friend I mentioned and b) we could not cope at all with a movie about Friend. So I'm very glad you told me about those things.

Um, though, now I'm wondering why there's so much Joe/Billy slash. 'Cause that sounds, you know, like a fairly unhappy relationship there. With the rape and all.

God help me. I'm really curious about the movie now. I want to know why he kills himself, and the deal with Joe and Billy and...but I can't watch it! I can't! Even if I screwed my courage to the sticking point, I couldn't watch a movie in which a clone of Friend kills himself.

Oh, and I meant to ask - who is that in your icon? (I'm so bad at iconage. I never recognize anyone.)

[thefourthvine]

Um. Actually? I wouldn't know Callum Keith Rennie if he walked up and bit me; he'd have to hand me a resume or something for me to know who he was. I have this, um, near total inability to recognize faces. So I wasn't kidding when I said I was bad at iconage; I spend a lot of time looking at people's icons and wishing I knew who they were. Though I'm comforted somewhat by the knowledge that if the guy I was asking about was Secor, there's no reason I should've recognized him.
