the one thing that annoys me about the black magician trilogy it the derth of female povs and characters. Sonea is the only woman from whose perspective the books are written, everyone else is male. and the number of named female characters that actually have some relevance to the plot can be counted on one hand. anyway, that's why Akkarin should have been female and also have had a torrid lesbian affair with Bel Arralade during her travels around Elyne.
My favourite book series has been the Magician Guild / the Black Magicians trilogy by Trudi Canavan for a while now (ever since I first read it). And after frantic fanart and fanfic search when I first ended the third book, I almost gave up, I thought the fandom was very dead... but now I found that there are actually more people loving it on here because I searched the hashtag on a whim. I'm nearly crying. This is one of the best surprises of my life. It still doesn't bring that alternative ending fic that I long for, I'm gonna have to write it myself, but still, even if the fandom is very much almost dead, I am so so so so happy to no longer feel alone with my love for this fandom and the author. *happy tears*
Just a question in the round. Are there people here who know the black magician guild trilogy? Because I'm about to write a story about Dannyl and Tayend.
...
Oh...being in a dead fandom.
Thanks for the tag @maze-zen <3

A nice thing this month was receiving the Illumicrate Exclusive editions of The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan! They look so nice, and I love the author’s paintings. It’s a been a beloved series for me since 2004, and has warm fandom memories. I’m glad to have it in a fancier version. 🥰
A while ago, *I know* that there were sketches for TBM by Trudi Canavan herself. Like characters, buildings and so on. And now I can't find them! But I know that they must exist somewhere....
Please send help.

Title: Warm Embrace Fandom: Black Magician Trilogy Pair: Lorlen / Sonea Summary: It was only when Sonea came into view that he found it easier to breathe—yet at the same time, the strain of his worry seemed to intensify. She halted before one of the staircases, struggling more to stay upright than to actually stand. Her breathing was labored, and she swayed on her feet as though she might collapse from exhaustion at any moment. Then, sensing his approach, she lifted her head, and her eyes, glassy with fatigue and pain, softened into a weary yet gentle smile at the sight of him.
I really love the BMT-Fandom over at ao3. Everyone is so grown up an nice and cheering everyone making you just feel good. Also all the new fanfic’s are so good! All these little details…
But maybe that’s the perk of writing in a Fandom that’s old and not to popular- everyone is grown up and the people sticking to it just have read the books so often they can’t write something OOC.
(After remembering how long it had been since I’ve read the books the first time I am now feeling old myself)
