I was thinking someone should do a GO X Factor AU but then I remembered American Idol already did it like a decade ago with Kradam

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤

Off the Books (Skyfall AU, 00Q, Explicit, 83k WIP). By far my most ambitious project to date! The James Bond I’m writing as the narrative POV here feels like why I’ve loved James Bond for decades; the stoic spy, the broken man, the hopeful lover, the inveterate manipulator, the skilled fighter, the loyal subject, the shameless hedonist. And on top of all of that, the claustrophobic complexity of an unreliable narrator too busy ignoring his own traumas to see his world clearly. I’m really looking forward to writing the finale of this epic romance-and-revenge tale this Fall!

Please Ask (for Help) (James Bond, 00Q, Teen+, 29k). I think this has been my favorite fic to write. I wrote it based on a super-sweet art prompt of James Bond taking care of injured Q, and that sweetness gave me the excuse to fully indulge in all my favorite tropes: hurt/comfort, pining, and James Bond in love. Is it self-indulgent? Yes. Do I feel a bit exposed by all of the yearning in this fic? Yes. But every inch of this fic feels written ‘for me,’ which I suppose is why I loved every moment of the writing process.

Roman Holiday (Spectre AU, 00Q, Teen+, 2k). This canon-divergence prompt, randomly assigned as part of Festive Fanwork Fiesta, turned out to be the perfect prompt for me. I saw the whole scene instantly and wrote it in a rush of excitement. I’m really proud of the structure and pacing and dialogue and feelings packed into this short scene, not to mention the world of possibilities it opens up for what comes next. In a way I can’t put into words, this one feels like a quintessentially me fic, a perfect exemplar of my style.

Aftershave (The Man from UNCLE, Illya/Napoleon/Gaby, Explicit, 4k). I’m thrilled with how the characterizations and voices turned out in this fic; they feel like they’re straight out of the 2015 movie! For all that it’s an OT3 established relationship, I loved putting Illya into a situation where he has to confront his remaining reservations about Napoleon—the American’s incessant needling, the way his smirks always feel like an insult. And what better time to confront your trust issues (and your partner’s latent trust kink) than when he’s holding a knife to your throat…

A $500 Bottle of Bordeaux (Glam RPF, Adam/Kris, Teen+, 8k). This one’s a real throwback! The first fandom I ever wrote for was American Idol RPF, and even though I haven’t read or written RPF in several years, I have such a soft spot for this particular fic. What starts as a classic meet-cute between a fan and his Broadway-star crush becomes wildly complicated over the course of an intimate dinner party. I love how the four characters all have their own motivations and histories, and none of them are ‘bad’ people, despite the ways they hurt one another; there’s a lot of forgiveness and heart in this fic. The goodnight kiss at the end is some of my most romantic writing, and overall it’s a really hopeful, romantic story that always feels comforting to revisit.

How do you know "Most Larries are serial tinhatters"? Do you have evidence, or is that just in your opinion?

http://thelarrative.tumblr.com/search/serial+tinhatting

You can see them go from one tinhat ship to another or attempt to find as many as possible.

I always remember when a Big Larrie was getting tired of the fandom at one point a few years back and asked for any recommendations for other ships like Larrie to get into - ships where people believe these two people are secretly together but that it’s denied publicly. They didn’t ask for other TV shows or movies or book fandoms to get into, or even fandoms of out gay celebrities so they could support them and their relationships, but they wanted another tinhat ship to obsess over. Because what they care about is it being forbidden and denied and being able to claim they know secrets about these two men that others don’t. They fetishize that.

Many Big Larries come from having tinhatted other ships previously and many Big Larries move in to trying to create new tinhat ships to obsess over. That’s what shipping to them is, trying to find as many men as possible they believe are secretly dating so they can wank to it and then claim they’re just there to help support them.

sometimes i think about that one friend i made here on my old account (10 years ago now) who was into kradam rpf with me. i never knew his name and i don’t remember his url. hope you’re having a good time if you’re still out there buddy

[primal--scream]

Even though I am a HUGE Zepplin fan...

I will forever equate Whole Lotta Love with the AI kradam fandom as we waited every night of the tour to see whether or not Adam said woman or baby.

Ifykyk.

That fandom was so much fucking fun. People at the concerts posting their livestream links on Twitter (when it was still mostly normal) so we could all listen.

We used to lose our fucking minds waiting for it.
