FAN FICTION WRITERS ARE GONNA SAVE THE WORLLLLDDDDD!!!!!!!!!

Millennials have got it going on! Nerds are gonna save us! FANFICTION IS THE WAY FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday Fics Fix - Drarry in a Cupboard

Drarry time!

Friday Fics Fix - Flash-Back

This week I have a fic for you from DC's Flash series.

It's cute, it's fluffy, but it's also quite hard-hitting.

Yes, hard-hitting and fluffy. At the same time. Fanfic writers are gonna save the world my dearest nerdlets! 😎

Friday Fics Fix - Aristotle and Dante Appear In Fanfiction

This week, I've been reading some YA fanfiction.

Most of the fanfiction I read is actually TV/movie-based (maybe because a lot of the fanfiction out there in internet-land is based on TVs and movies stuffs! Lol.)

I figured I'd read some book-based fics for once. What with this being a book blog and all that jazz.

Month in Review(s) - July 2017

July was a big month for this little book nerd's blog!

This was the month that Diary of a Reading Addict (DORA) became Dora Reads - with a custom URL to match.

It's something that'd been on my mind for a while, and I'm so glad I did it!

Friday Fics Fix - THIS is Cap

Fanfiction is going to save the goddamn world.

I know I say it a lot. But it's f**king true dammit!

The horrendous moves made this week against the rights of American people - especially transgender Americans - is yet another reminder that the world needs to keep fighting.

The world needs to remember that bigotry, fascism, and hatred are NEVER going to be the way forward.

The world needs to remember that Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, will never be a goddamn f**king Nazi!

Friday Fics Fix - You Zigged When You Should've Zagged

One of the most wonderful things about fanfiction is that it asks, again and again, 'What If...?'

This can mean explorations of anything, from looking at characters in a different light, to alternate universes, to changes of plot-point.

Friday Fics Fix - Fanfiction in Koru Mag

Do you want to read a whooooole magazine issue inspired by fanfiction and fan art and all that jazz, including a fic by your dear darling book nerd (i.e. me)?

Of course you do! Why in hell's name wouldn't you?!*

*Don't answer that.

Friday Fics Fix - The One I Forgot To Title

I love new takes on established characters - especially the ones that blow your mind ;)

That's what I have for you this week - something that will make you sit up and say, 'Huh? Wow. I can't believe I never considered that!'

via GIPHY

Friday Fics Fix - Told You I Was Trash

Something you may or may not be aware of is that there are a number of fics in which Clint Barton (Hawkeye) and Matt Murdock (Daredevil) meet in a dumpster.

I f**k you not. This is a thing. A fandom thing. And it rocks.

It's gotten to the point where they're now referred to as 'Dumpster Buddies' or 'Dumpster Bros.' #TrueStory.

Friday Fics Fix - Save the World with Glitter!

Lots of people aren't straight. Like, lots.

And since it's still Pride month, let's celebrate the not-straight, shall we? ;)

Friday Fics Fix - Valid

As we're in the middle of Pride month, I figured it was the perfect time to shine a spotlight on an orientation that doesn't get as much attention.

There are a lot of sexual and romantic orientations that are lesser-known - especially among non-queer people - and deserve more awareness.

Friday Fics Fix - I Can See It There In Your Eyes

Some things in this world are pure awesome - one of those things is that Sanvers is canon.

Because Supergirl is an excellent TV series, and was like, 'dudes, let's see Supergirl have a lesbian sister who kicks criminal alien butt!'

And the kids of this world are all the better for it.*

*Link warning: discussion of suicidal thoughts in relation to LGBTQ+ issues/coming out.

Friday Fics Fix - My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark

I think we all need some Drarry.

The world is a weird place, but there is fanfiction! (Which is even weirder! Yay!)

We have something we can cling to dammit! (And don't EVER feel guilty for enjoying the small stuff!)

(Fangirling notes: Drarry is a romantic and/or sexual relationship between Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter.)

Friday Fics Fix - Secrets I Have Held In My Heart

You ready to save the world with fanfiction my nerdlets?

Today I have Stucky for you (I know, I'm total Stucky trash,) but with a genderqueer/gender-fluid/NB Bucky Barnes!

This is also written by a genderqueer fic author - so we have #ownvoices as well!

(Fangirling notes:

Stucky is a romantic and/or sexual relationship between Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes.

If you've read my fanfiction posts before, chances are you already know this!)

Friday Fics Fix - Random and Fun!

Who feels like some random-a** funniness? (I do! I do!) (Lol.)

So I figure there's nothing wrong with some pure randomness every now and then. It's quite refreshing, given the world we currently live in... (Me? Cynical? Pshaw! Pshaw I say!)

Friday Fics Fix - Whatcha Gonna Do About It?

Spoiler warning: potential Harry Potter spoilers ahead!


Bringing someone new home to the family is challenging. Now, if that person also fought against you in the recent magic war, it might make things a li'l awkward.

But like, it'll all work out in the end... right? It's not like you were a Death Eater, and he was The Boy Who Lived or anything... oh. Right. That.

Friday Fics Fix - Stuck(y) In the Middle With You

I'm Stucky trash. And I'm not even sorry. 😎

(For the record - I have given you non-Marvel-Cinematic-Universe fandoms quite a bit recently. But I sold my soul to the MCU a long time ago. It will always return!

And Bucky is my Bucky Bear - he and Steve are meant for each other.)

(Fangirling notes:

Stucky = a Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes romantical and/or sexual relationship.

Bucky Bear = fandom shorthand for OH MY GOD PROTECT HIM!!! HE'S PRECIOUS!!!)

Friday Fics Fix - Crossover Time!

One of the things I adore about fanfiction is that you lot (you fangirls, fanboys, and other fanfolks of the world,) aren't afraid to say 'F**k it!' and just smash things into each other!

Honestly, a lot of the combinations I've seen are just like: HOW DID YOU EVEN THINK OF THAT?!

(Case in point: That time someone decided that Bruce Wayne and Hermione Granger were meant for each other.)

Friday Fics Fix - Happy Easter!

Why did I think it was a good idea to search for Easter fanfiction?!

It's like I don't learn my lesson.

I should've known, after the whole Halloween pumpkin-sex debacle, that adding eggs and bunnies to the mix...

Wow. Just wow.
