Call Me Karrde! This blog will be the new home of Fandom Fridays, so FOLLOW IT! Fandom Friday is a weekly creator appreciation event powered by community recommendations. Submission rules can be found in my pinned post. Please read before submitting. This is an 18+ only blog. Icon by @filmgoop
The goal of Fandom Friday: provide a place where people can shout-out their favorite creators from the week, whether it’s a piece of fan art that made you smile or a fanfic that moved you. Drop a link to your favorite creations this week into my ask box along with what you loved about it, and I will give them a shout! It doesn’t have to be Star Wars either! If it’s on another website (AO3, Twitter, etc.), please be sure to state that as well.
This happens each week, so don’t feel like you’ve got to get out everything in one week. Just keep track of them throughout the week or send me an ask whenever you find something, and I’ll drop them all on Fridays (or throughout the weekend if I get a lot). The cutoff for each week is THURSDAY 12 PM (I’m in the Pacific timezone). Anything received after that will roll to the next week. A summary of the weeks’ recs will be posted at the end of the weekly queue, so check back here for all of the awesome fics and art! And be sure to go give the creations on that list some love (and don’t just share the ask responses I put out).
2024 Fandom Friday Weekly Summary Master List
2025 Fandom Friday Weekly Summary Master List
Rules and additional details under the cut! PLEASE make sure you read the rules before sending something in. If your submission violates any of the rules, I will delete it.
Rules:
Please send submissions to my ask box (sending them all to one place makes wrangling them easier each week). In your ask, please include the creator’s handle, a link to their work/post (if links aren’t working for the ask, please DM me them), and what you loved about it!
Please ensure the link is to the creator’s original post and not your own reblog or repost of their work (if they’re on another platform). The idea is to drive people to visit the creator’s page!
The creation does not have to have been posted this week! It can be something older. Also, don’t worry about whether or not a rec is a repeat from a prior week. Just looking to celebrate things that made an impression on you this week, whether you’ve seen it before or not!
NSFW is alright! Just make sure you note it in the ask so I can flag appropriately! Since I’m including 18+ material, minors may not participate. 18+ posts will be tagged with NSFT/lemon/lemony lemon (trying to cover all my bases).
NO incest, underage, cl*necest blogs, master/padawan (or similar power dynamics), dub-con/non-con/rape occurring IN the fic (to include stalker/obsessive behavior fics). Also, no H*rry Potter. There are a few others that I also won’t share due to my discomfort with them (i.e., R*xsoka), so if you’re not sure, ask. Also, many of you submit multiple works at once, and that’s fine, but if one of those works contains something that violates the rules, I will delete the entire ask, so something to be extra careful about when submitting!
Submissions that deal with 18+ material or difficult/triggering topics (pregnancy, abuse, drug use, etc.) MUST BE TAGGED APPROPRIATELY.
If your rec involves spoilers from a show that’s currently running, please include that info in the ask so I can tag it appropriately (I will normally tag a few different ways, but I always use #<show title> spoilers if you need to filter (for example: Andor spoilers will be tagged #Andor Spoilers). I will stop tagging spoilers two weeks after the show stops airing.
You can submit GIF sets or edits, but please ensure you are submitting from the blog that actually created them. Wanted to add that caution since there’s been a lot of people stealing/reposting GIFs and edits in particular recently. So just be cautious.
Try to avoid commentary in your ask that might make others feel bad (“the only person who knows how to write XXX correctly…”). It’s important to be able to appreciate creators without making others feel bad, so let’s try to keep the commentary complimentary without being off-putting for other creators.
Self recommendations are allowed and encouraged! Shout out your own hard work! You deserve the recognition!
*Rules subject to change so PLEASE make sure you read them before sending something in. If your submission violates any of the rules, I will delete it.
**If you have any questions about any of the rules, don’t hesitate to DM me!In addition to sending me asks, I highly encourage you to go either leave a comment on and/or reblog someone’s work (tag me or use the #Fandom Friday tag if you do!). Let’s get the interaction back up on this website and show the creators that work so hard on their stuff some love!
Thank you so much to everyone that submitted recommendations this week (and last week)! A comprehensive list of this week’s submissions can be found under the cut! Recommendations are organized by show/media, and any main pairings will be listed after the title.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, my last rec this week is yet another Critical Role piece (AND IT WILL CONTINUE). I absolutely have to shout about this Vaelus x Thaisha piece by @erandraws because THAT MOMENT in Episode 3 had me LOSING MY MARBLES. YES TO THE FATED TALL BADASS LADIES. I LOVE THAT. And this piece? GORGEOUS. I love the wings and wolffe outline. I love the way they're looking at one another. IT'S SO SOFT. It'S BEAUTIFUL. And Vaelus gives Halloween vibes, so I'm saying it's moderately on theme for today. WHATEVER. I love it SO MUCH and can't wait to see more of them, particularly if it spawns more art like this.
Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)
Gonna go ahead and submit my own Werewolf!Hunter piece that I wrote last year 🫣
Hunter's Moon
YESSSSS WE LOVE TO SEE A SELF-REC!!! And honestly, I've been converted to a Werewolf Hunter fan after this week. It really just does fit perfectly if you're going to Halloween-ify him. Can't explain it. Won't try. And I love this one! It's intense! It's soft! It's got it all! Thanks so much for sharing it!
Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)
For my second ask today, I want to shoutout @wings-and-beskar for (No) Privacy, an Alpha 17 x Reader pairing and IT. IS. HOT WOOF 😘🥵
And of course I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to also shout out her One Last Chance, a post-war Commander Cody x Reader pairing that I also absolutely love!
YESSSSSS I LOVE BOTH OF THESE!! I'm always down for fics that were composed in a "horny fugue state", so this Alpha 17 one promises to scratch any horny itches you might have (does that sound weird? Maybe. It's late. I'm doing my best. You get the idea). And LET CODY HAVE LIFE IN THE REBELS ERA AND BE FINE. I really hope we get to find out in canon one day, but UNTIL THEN, I will be living in this fic universe and NO ONE CAN STOP ME. Thanks so much for the recs, Maia!

I was trying to think of Halloween-themed submissions this week, but with everything else going on with some personal matters, I just couldn't give it the proper focus.
But here is my Call of Duty submission for the week. It's a lovely little fic about Simon being a dad, and I melted.
Simon "Ghost" Riley x Reader by @ohcroculus
Thanks!
Carol - @clonethirstingisreal
Listen, he goes by "Ghost". Close enough for Halloween purposes hehe. And OH MY GODDDD this is SO SOFT. Who knew my heart could be shattered in 0.2k words, and YET HERE WE ARE. This is so sweet and so achingly real. I love it. Thanks so much for sending it in!

A Spark in the Heart by Scifiwaterfall (https://archiveofourown.org/works/72705726/chapters/189377001#workskin). Dragon Ball. Inspired by the movie Warm Bodies from 2013. Vegeta, the Prince of the Saiyan race, unfortunately was not immune to the zombie virus when he encountered some of the infected. After experiencing a certain bandit’s memories, Vegeta rescues Bulma from being zombie food and makes her his reluctant houseguest. As a scientist trying to find a cure, she is fascinated by Vegeta’s limited speech and why he wants to protect her instead of eat her. Rated M for the fact that zombies eat people, so if that makes you squeamish this fic may not be for you. I have not seen Warm Bodies, but reading the first two chapters makes me want to! I really like how the author has written the story from Vegeta’s perspective, both as he’s succumbing to the virus and after. Vegeta may have forgotten who he is, but he still has pieces of his personality as a zombie. And that makes it more interesting (for me) to see how this story will end!
THIS FEELS APPROPRIATELY SPOOKY. Nothing says Halloween quite like a Zombie AU hahaha. And OOF a character perspective while succumbing to a virus? WELP THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE "HEAVY ANGST" PART OF THE TAGS. Thanks so much for sending this one in!

Hey Karrde 💙! Happy Fandom Friday and Happy Halloween 🎃!!
This week I want to shout out @ireadwithmyears Wolffe x OC series Cross Your Thoughtless Heart! A modern AU setting where Wolffe and Isla are actors and meet on set, and I love how their relationship is written 💙!
OOOOOOOH this is an interesting premise! I love that they're starring in essentially a Hallmark Channel movie hahahaha. And Wolffe? Having a reputation? AAND it's SPICY?? I LOVE IT. I AM HERE FOR IT. Thanks so much for sending it in hehe!

This fic was a lovely gift from my friend, @eclec-tech. It's a Halloween story based on my Hunter and the Librarian longfic. It's so adorable, and you don't need to read my fic to appreciate this one.
A Matching Set or on AO3
Thanks!
Carol - @clonethirstingisreal
Awww this is so cool! Gift fics are THE BEST and Wren deserves ALL of the Milk Duds hehe. It's CUTE. It's festive. Love it! Thanks so much for sending this one in!
Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)
ALSO dropping off this OTHER Jack Sparrow art by @clearpurpleskies cuz it is SO SO SO good. Gotta love when the song hits The Character just right 🤌
OOOOOOH yeah it's always fun when you can draw inspiration from lyrics that just FIT. And this is GORGEOUS. I particularly love the way the light is shining through the water! And it's got a smidge of spooky vibes hehe. Thanks so much for the rec!

Before You Go by @dystopicjumpsuit (smutty, fyi). An underrated character, a very fun reader, and the underlying emotions of their situation - it all makes for a great read! I was laughing throughout ("our knickers"!) but it also hit those emotional notes that makes DJ's writing the best.
DJ's notes and warnings have me CRACKING UP on this one. WE SUPPORT YOU WRITING THE SMUT YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
DJ is once again sexualizing an old man
AS YOU SHOULD. I love a fic that includes a character that doesn't get as much fandom love as they deserve. PERFECT. Thanks so much for sending this one in hehe!
Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)
My next rec this week goes to @eggdrawsthings for this ADORABLE Halloween art of Mando and Grogu. LOOK. AT. HIS. LITTLE. CANDY. BUCKET. I love every detail of this. The patch on Din's jacket is so cool, and THEIR COSTUUUUUUMES MY HEART. It's PERFECT.
Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)
Was gonna submit the Halloween piece I've been working on this month but it's still not done but the genius behind every Werewolf!Hunter-inspired piece I've ever done is the lovely @giga-nonyx and their fic "The Night Is Bleakest Beneath a Full Moon"
This fic does include a lot of gore and body horror as a result of being a werewolf transformation fic. I've gone on and on before about how much I love this fic, but the bottom line is that it's Hunter as ouppy. Need I say more? Something about the enhanced senses and the gorgeous thick hair just makes sense together.
Also have to mention Gig's Werewolf!Hunter art that goes hand in hand with the fic. He's so big and fluffy, and Omega deserves to be carried around with him as her noble steed.
You are so right about Hunter really just fitting as a werewolf when it comes to him being a mythical creature hehe. And him carrying Omega while in his werewolf form? It's what she deserves, and she'd love it hehe. These are both really cool! Thanks so much for sending them in!

My friend @a-single-tulip made a Rex pumpkin and everyone should see it right here!!
OOOOOOH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! The pumpkin is PERFECT (as is our favorite captain hehe). 11/10 VERY FESTIVE AND SPOOPY. Thanks so much for sending this one in!
Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)
The new chapter has me feeling THINGS and it reminded me that I need to dive back in for a re-read!! Let’s Goooooo! 🙌
Your OC Senna is my spirit animal. She is COMPETENT, driven, takes no shit (even if she gets in her own head sometimes) and I love her your honor. She is also FULL of self-doubt and trauma, which makes her feel so relatable. I love her mental battles with her feels.
I also LOVE the way you write Rex and really explore both of their POVs. Rex has so much baggage from the war, but maintains a deep well of feelings that is really multi-dimensional and engaging. I love his sense of duty/honor, and his dedication to the ones he cares about, but also his dilemmas over his OWN feelings.
AND FUCK FISK. He is seriously my favorite OC villain ever and I love to hate him. 😂😂
Such a great fic. Also - ridiculously hot on the re-write. 🔥🔥🔥🥵 (18+) LOVE YOU THANKS FOR BEING AN AMAZING WRITER.
Dawwww friendo!! This is so kind! THANK YOU SO MUCH! (and also, yeah FUCK FISK hehe). Thank you very much for submitting my fic as a rec!
