Two fandoms, one experience
Apr. 7th, 2016 10:09 amVariation old fandom:
*self* Has a conversation with friend involving Iron Man 3. Rewatches IM3, is filled with great fondness, checks out fanfiction especially knowing what the impending arrival of Civil War will inevitably result in. Reads summaries on pages 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the AO3 Iron Man archive. Stares in disbelief.
Prevailing feeling: Who are these people supposed to be? Definitely not any characters I've seen in the movies...
( Some spoilery to IM3 observations of how this movie would have been written if scripted by the authors represented by the first few pages of the current archives )
Variation new fandom:
*self* is excited the Black Sails fandom finally is getting larger, new stories are being written, and hey, several of them about a pairing I'm very interested in with a fascinating on screen dynamic!
*self* Reads the summaries. In rarer cases, reads the stories despite that.
Prevailing feeling: Who are these people supposed to be? Definitely not the characters I've seen on my tv screen...
Aaaaanyway.I realise that everything is subjective, my interpretation is just that, mine, not obligatory for anyone else, etc., etc., different strokes for different people, and different tropes, etc. And every now and then, I actually find a gem where what appeals to me on screen is included in the fanfiction rendition. As, for instance, this excellent Silver and Flint emotional power play:
If your feelings aren't a story
