My Fandoms Are Needy

[alixtii]

Apparently, two of my three requests--both The ILLUMINATUS! Trilogy (which is an 800-page behemoth of a book which often borders on stream-of-consciousness when it's not being deliberately incomprehensible) and Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? (a series of forty animated half-hour episodes, most not available on DVD, spread over four seasons)--are on the neediest fandoms list.

Which I suppose means it's likely I'll be matched on Blackadder, although if someone's going to be assigned to my request expecting to write m/m slash (or worse, humor), they are going to be in for a surprise.

(I decided in the end to not make a fourth request, although of course I reserve the right to change my mind until signups end. I decide I didn't want Small Wonder fic, Mars Attacks! fic, or any of the other options as much as I did my first three.)

I'm too young to be nostalgic for it; I was born in 1984 and the show ran 1985-1989. I saw my first episode a year ago and was immediately fascinated with what a fanfic writer would be able to do with the canon. I'd ask for femslash and/or dopplecest and/or stepcest.

Heh. You know, I knew you were younger than me, but I didn't think to do the math on that.

I can see that a fanfic writer would probably be able to do a lot with the canon. I haven't seen it, since, well, 1989, and from what I remember what I hated about the show was that the acting was just terrible. But that wouldn't affect fic.
