Happy International Fanworks Day!
As I did last year, I'm celebrating by sharing some recs coveraing several types of fanwork from a variety of fandoms.
Fan Fiction
alt.wiz: Charlie Furth, Usenet, and the Magical Internet Revolution by
flibbertygiggetHarry Potter, gen, 8932 words
I first read this fic last week and have been looking for opportunities to recommend it since then. It's a piece of fictional nonfiction detailing events that might have taken place in the wizarding world of the 1990s. I think it's wonderful.
Songs of Innocence and Experience by the_alchemist
Peter Pan, gen, 1781 words
This fic is hard to describe. It is a reflective piece, centered on Hook and Peter and their characters.
Inked by
what_alchemyThe Breakfast Club, John Bender/Brian Johnson, 4561 words
Yes, this one has a weird pairing, but I think it works. The story follows Brian's life after high school through five episodes spread over 20 years. It affected me a lot, though your mileage may vary.
Fan Art
