reblog if you've ever read fanfiction from a fandom you're not a part of or for a show/movie you've never seen

So to further out myself as a Fandom Old ™

I’m browsing ao3, as one does, and this one image struck me to the core and I just stared at the screen for like a solid 20 seconds

Oh how the world has changed

It’s canon if I liked it and if I didn’t like it then it’s non-canon.

SEEKING: ORIGINAL SUPERWHOLOCK FANS

Now seems like a good time for this.

So! Let’s get this out of the way first: I’m not here to belittle you, make fun of you, call you cringey, or whatever other shitty bullying behavior is the cool du jour. We don’t roll like that in my house.

No, reality is quite different.

Hi, my name is Nina and I run a hands-on museum at anime and pop culture conventions that details the history of fandom, and if you’re an original Superwholock fan, I want to interview you.

(I also want your gifsets, fanart, fanfiction, prominent crossover theories, etc.—the paraphernalia that make up a fandom.)

Here’s the thing: Superwholock, along with Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons (which was somewhat concurrent), is the first fan-created crossover megafandom. This is a HUGE DEAL for a fandom curator, because....almost all of you are still alive!! You’re all primary sources!! YOU WERE THERE!! Speaking as someone who’s normally tracking down 80-year-old Trekkies and diary entries from the original Sherlock Holmes fans 140 years ago, do you have any idea, any at all, how EXCITING that is??? When it hit me that I could cut my work on a Superwholock exhibit in half by doing firsthand interviews instead of having to track down old message boards and Fanlore articles, I literally jumped off my bed and yelled. It’s less work AND it’s a better, more accurate exhibit.

Your experiences in Superwholock are part of fandom history. An important part, in fact. And I have the chance to interview and talk to you FIRST HAND. (That’s every curator’s dream. Ask any curator in the world “if you could have an hour to talk to [long-dead person in their field], would you?” and you’ll get an “are you fucking KIDDING me? Where’s the time machine???”)

Questions I’ll ask you will be things like what drew you to the fandom, how it started out, how you (and others) reacted to major development in the parent fandoms, and what your part of the community was like. You can reply in written form, by doing a video, drawing a comic, whatever you like as long as it’s in an archivable format (meaning I can save it to show people your exact words later; don’t let the phrase “anime and pop-culture convention” fool you, I do my best to follow museum archival best practices and won’t show anything without a provenance). This means I’ll also need either your first name and last initial, or a username you’re comfortable appending to your words. If you’re under 18, I’ll also need a parent’s permission if you want to appear on video. And although I didn’t have a chance to do a full filming of the museum before COVID (I was supposed to show at Phoenix Fan Fusion this year and that was going to be the filmed version....sigh), I can provide you with hard copy from conventions that have shown the museum. And my driver’s license, if you’re a minor and your parents are nervous.

I’d like to add here that while some of the museum’s exhibits are, uh....QUESTIONABLE by modern standards of taste, I have never had to kick anyone out for being disrespectful to older works. (I have had a few people giggle over the typewritten zines because the copy quality is so bad, but that’s of the “wow, dinosaur technology” variety of giggle. You’d understand if you saw them.) You will not be put in a position to have to defend yourself from bullying or fallout. A lot of people look at older works and are actually heartened to see just how long the history of fandom is.

If this is a project that would interest you, please EMAIL ME at fandommuseum@gmail.com. And spread the word to other fans you might know!

Someone, probably Alexander: do you like James or Meredith?

Oliver:yes

More Arcana merch???

ok so the only official arcana merch are some 40$ posters that are all sold out and some stickers. i mean i understand that the posters were limited edition, but i think they could make some more if we ask for it????? tbh 40$ is a lot, so how about some cheaper, tiny posters 👀?

the stickers are the only actual things available, but the only ones they sell are the side character’s stickers…and it seems to me like it’s not gonna change.

i actually really want some arcana merch!! i think the whole fandom does. how about they make some plushies? figurines? keychains? shirts? i would pretty much buy any of it. ive never really seen anyone talking about this so thats why there isn’t any…

LET’S MAKE THE ARCANA MERCH HAPPEN

if you agree - reblog, so that more arcana fans will see this and actually make the lack of merch a problem???? idk i just want to support the creators. i really hope they see this and consider making it a thing :)

[ Live Example | My AO3 Skins ]

While AO3 has a way to click to see notes at the end, this tutorial is how you can not only have your viewers click to view certain notes, but also click back to where they had been reading before. We don’t even need to use a workskin for this, but just an implementation of simple anchor links. So whether you have a lot of references in your work or just want to let your inner Pratchett* loose, this is how you do it.

Now big question for the fence Fandom does anyone know if the book written by Sarah Rees Brennan will be part of the canon universe or will it be just a spin off created to make us suffer even more?

Cause I know that there will be fake dating or at least that's what I think and the relationships will explored

Maybe I understand if you do it when talking about smut but if you do it only when talking about a gay couple or when the couple isn’t doing anything actually sinful than please don’t. Stop associating being gay with doing something wrong

Dorian Havilliard had the hots for Fenrys.

2. “At the mention of lover, Rowan gave Fenrys a lethal stare. The beautiful male-really, there was no way to describe him other than that-just shrugged.” Chapter 22, pg. 191.

From most recent to least, here are all the songs I’ve received for Andrew* 1.casual sabotage (YUNGBLUD)  2.Addicted To Love (Florence + The Machine)  3.Eight (Sleeping At Last)  4.Medication (YUNGBLUD)  5.Quite Short For A Goalkeeper (Tom Rosenthal)  6.Colourblind (Taylor Janzen)   7.The Drugs (Mother Mother)  8.The Stand (Mother Mother)  9. Everyone But You (The Front Bottoms)

*I also had someone suggest The Neighborhood, and was halfway through adding The Neighborhood’s entire discography to this playlist before I realized that while I thought taking over a playlist with one artist right smack dab in the middle would be a fun joke, it probably wouldn’t be listener friendly  😅

Don't look at me like that I'm not your answer and you sure as fuck aren't mine

Nora Sakavic The king's men

The king's men

How can this book finish like that?

How could Riko died in this way?

I hated him since his first apparence but when he died so badly I almost cried

He has been shooted by his own brother. Sad, sad and more sad

And why andreil has never been confirmed Neil just ammitted they were more than friends, hooks-up, henemies and whatever they were for each other. What the fuck?

I loved all the foxes, Jean, Jeremy, Coach Wymack, Abby and Betsy and even Riko "I'm an asshole" Moriyama.

Please tell me there's another book for the AFTG series when they live in Columbia, they play Exy and they're officially together.

I love how Neil kinda short circuited when he found out Andrew chose him

Because Neil is a pipe dream

Because Andrew hates him

And there's no 'this'

And after everything he'd been through, Andrew was allowing Neil into his space, giving away small pieces of himself as he was learning to trust again

Andrew chose him

Meme idea

Photoshop the goose from untitled goose game into the background of a photo of a place where something bad happens, but it’s a photo of before the bad thing happening, so it’s implied that the goose caused it
