Fandom and COVID-19?

Are there any oral history projects or surveys that are recording fan and fandom’s response to the pandemic?

One more time for the people in the back: Thanks so much for participating in the 2016 Mad Max Recathon! And at long last, here are the winners:

For the most submissions: @lurkinghistoric​ with 24 recs! In lieu of a gift card, I donated to the ACLU.

Thanks again guys! Keep your eyes on the road!

The End of the Road

Thank you again for making Fandom Road a success! Sorry for the delay in getting this out - Was a little distracted by the US presidential election. Rev it up for the Immortan Donald, I guess. But hey, Fury Road is out in theaters with the black and white version, so at least we have that going for us.

The rec list is done and the stats have been compiled. Here’s a breakdown of the submissions:

Total: 28 people submitted 133 pieces!

Fanfic: 93

Fanart: 29

Meta: 5

Other: 6

@ v8roadworrier and @fadagaski received the most recs: 6 each! Congrats!

I’m waiting to hear back from someone - Once I do, I’ll post the winners and send out the rewards. Thanks again!

[fandomroad]

marching on a dead end road

Fanwork title: marching on a dead end road Fanwork creator: wariangle Type: fanfic Warning: Stillbirth, mentions of self-harm Link to fanwork:

here

Link to comment:

here Description: 

And because of those scars, because Angharad is scared and hurting and because she is so very beautiful in this hellish, ugly world, Furiosa tells her of the Green Place of Many Mothers. She tells her of where she grew up, of her home and her mother. She offers up her most coveted secret, the only piece of her soul that is still truly hers, the knowledge she has greedily hoarded close to her heart all this years - the knowledge that this is not all there is, or will be, or the only thing that can be born out of fire and ash. Why?: An absolutely beautiful Furiosa/Angharad fix-it fic.   Submitted by @le-temps-viendra36

[fandomroad]

Sunlight and shadow

Fanwork title: Sunlight and shadow Fanwork creator: Splinter (@lurkinghistoric) Type: fanfic Warning: sexual content, accidental drug use, rated explicit Link to fanwork: here Link to comment: here Description: Furiosa and Max find some mushrooms in the garden and have stoned sex Why?: Because it’s hot, sexy, tender, funny, and beautifully written (as are all their other smutty fics: GO READ THEM ALL). Submitted by @ecouter-bien

[fandomroad]

Manifest Destiny

Fanwork title: Manifest Destiny Fanwork creator: @kayciedumb Type: fanart, fanzine Warning: none Link to fanwork: here Link to comment: here Description: A Capable/Nux fanzine Why?: So, so cute. And sweet. And funny. I love these little comics - They always make me smile. @kayciedumb’s art style is adorable and she writes such fun storylines. Really glad I was able to buy a copy! Submitted by @jaesauce

[fandomroad]

To Know Without Knowing

Fanwork title: To Know Without Knowing

Fanwork creator: @fadagaski

Type: fanfic

Warning: serious injuries

Link to fanwork: here

Link to comment: here

Description: a backstory for the Vuvalini woman who clearly has medical knowledge but doesn’t take action to help Furiosa

Why: It’s such a good explanation for an odd detail in the movie. Painful, beautifully characterised, with touches of hope.

Submitted by: @lurkinghistoric

[fandomroad]

A Sure Thing

Fanwork title: A Sure Thing

Fanwork creator: Owlship (@v8roadworrier)

Type: fanfic

Warning: Rated explicit on AO3. Sexual content, dubious consent, sex work

Link to fanwork: here

Link to comment: here

Description: Needing to trade, Max works a shift in a Wasteland brothel. One of his clients is a wary Furiosa. AU but still canon universe

Why: This does such interesting things with dubious consent, with the characters’ layers of defensiveness, toughness and vulnerability. Layered and gritty and wistful

submitted by: @lurkinghistoric

[fandomroad]

Nightmares

Fanwork title: Nightmares

Fanwork creator: battle_cat (@fuckyeahisawthat on tumblr)

Type: fanfic

Warning: sexual content

Link to fanwork: here

Link to comment: here

Description: Furiosa has nightmares. Max comforts

Why: I love the way battle_cat writes Furiosa and Max, their damage and their sweetness. This is gorgeously sexy while acknowledging their PTSD, their vulnerability, and the way a new relationship makes them more vulnerable. Don’t miss the tumblr ficlets that go with it, linked at the AO3 page. 

[fandomroad]

A Monument to a Memory

Fanwork title: A Monument to a Memory

Fanwork creator: ThisDominionIsMine

Type: fanfic Warning: no archive warnings Link to fanwork: here Link to comment:  Description: 

The past is a shattered thing, strung together by the fragments we can remember. Furiosa’s brain is loaded to capacity: work, life, death, injury. Her arm. Valkyrie’s spine. Toast’s garage. Angharad’s recipes. Motorcycles that need to be repaired. Bills that have to be paid. Capable’s fresh-off-the-internet life hacks and advice. Dag’s latest blind date setup.

For once in her life, Furiosa drinks to forget.

Why?: It’s a simple modern au that I happen to enjoy, that I’m hoping will a little more attention will take off :)  Submitted by @tinymammoth 

[fandomroad]

I can be the answer

Fanwork title: I can be the answer

Fanwork creator: Felonazcorp

Type: fanfic

Warning: rated explicit on AO3, sexual content, reference to past rape

Link to fanwork: here

Link to comment: here

Description: An early example of Furiosa being the most eaten out character in fandom history

Why: Very sexy and very tender. In this fic, Furiosa’s past sexual experience has been traumatic. This shows Max helping her work past that, with a lovely sense of vulnerability and transformation.

Citadel’s Car Wash

Fanwork title: Citadel’s Car Wash Fanwork creator: @blatterburystreet Type: fanart Warning: Maybe mildly nswf Link to fanwork: here Link to comment: here Description: I wash! I dry! I wash again!

Fanwork title: Ask Nux: Pimp My Ride Fanwork creator: @asknux Type: fanart Warning: nope Link to fanwork: here Link to comment: here Description: yo nux can you tell us about your car Why?: Perfect comic is perfect. Nux gets his car pimped out by a meme from 2007 Submitted by @jaesauce

[fandomroad]

Two drawings of Toast and Slit

Fanwork title: Two drawings of Toast and Slit Fanwork creator: @indiasierrabravo Type: fanart Warning: none Link to fanwork: here Link to comment: here Description: Two pieces of modern AU Toast and Slit Why?: Toast in Slit’s jacket slays me. Love their expressions and the colors of these pieces - both pics capture the strength and vulnerability of the characters. Submitted by @jaesauce

[fandomroad]

Ask Slit

Fanwork title: Ask Slit Fanwork creator: @askslit / @yohunny Type: fanart, ask blog Warning: cartoony violence Link to fanwork: here Link to comment: here Description: Slit answering tumblr questions Why?: Holy shit this is one of the greatest things on the internet. Slit is hilarious, the art is great, and everything is awesome. Doesn’t matter which comic you read - Slit with kittens, Slit the artist, Slit as a burrito - they’re all fantastic.
