Summary
anonymous asked:
Hello! I've been reading XMFC fics for a while and I'm wondering where some of the common tags on AO3 came from! (a kink meme perhaps?) For example, "Charles You Will Be Drunk" or "Erik Logic is the Best Logic" or "Emotionally Crippled Erik is Fun to Read". Sorry if this is a silly question and thanks ever so much for the excellent fic recs!Series

Building Our Own Space: Sex, Purity, and Economics in Online Fandom by farkenshnoffingottom
Fandoms: No Fandom, Fandom - Fandom
03 May 2020
Tags
Summary
My senior capstone project, adapted for posting to this site.
In which I discuss the policing of sexuality on the web, by the law and individuals; the threat this poses to fandom and our sexual and mental health; the essentially non-commercial nature of fanfiction and AO3; and how AO3's structure and founding ideals creates a space that allows us to explore our identities and exist in a world free from the economic and cultural logics of capitalism, if only for a moment.

Fanwork Migration by yourlibrarian

Summary
This happens to be the 15th anniversary of the Buffyverse Top 5 community, created to share recs in the Buffy and Angel fandoms, and later the other Joss Whedon productions. This timing is particularly fitting because I have spent several months since our 2019 session going through every post in the community (1,846 of them!) as part of an effort to locate recced content on AO3 for our collection here.
This gave me a unique perspective on patterns in the fandom which might be much the same for other fandoms which began in the pre-AO3 online era, and which may also have lost a number of their works over the years.

What's in a Name?: The Use of "Puella Magi" in English-Language PMMM Fanworks by atamascolily
Fandoms: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica
29 May 2023
Tags
Summary
If you read older PMMM fics, you may notice many authors use "Puella Magi" in place of "magical girl," despite the fact that this term never actually appears in the original series outside of the title. Join me on a deep dive through fandom history on the rise and fall of this practice and its probable origins, featuring Latin declensions, fansubs, and Fanfiction.net.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

In June 2024, Corporate Businessman™ Stede Bonnet and Circus Performer Ed Teach went to their local Wawa.
It did not go as planned.
Romance. Intrigue. Geese. Sensual sandwich ordering. Interesting uses for clown noses!
They were just looking for lunch, but they found so much more. Hop in the Nissan Ska-ltima and take a wild ride down the Jersey Shore.
