Friday Fics Fix - Super Chatty
You know what's fab? Fandom doesn't care about little things like continuity or multi-franchise media universes.

Month in Review(s) - October 2017
October was fun, yes?*
*I mean if you ignore the news and the garbage pile that is the world's current affairs. *desperate laughter* 😅

Friday Fics Fix - Everybody's Waiting For the Next Surprise
It's still October so let's continue with the Harry Potter fics! (You know you want to!)
We have Halloween, Harry Potter, and gay af. Your argument is invalid. Life is wonderful. 😎😇💖
And this one is actually based around Halloween! With no pumpkin sex! (Man, I've gotten lucky on the lack of pumpkin sex this year! Thank God.)

Friday Fics Fix - Gimme Gimme Some of that Vampire Money, C'mon!
So, we're still in October - so I figure that more Harry Potter is in order.
We're going further down the fanfiction rabbit hole though, because this week we have a vampire fic.

Friday Fics Fix - Pants on Fire
Since we're still in October, and on Friday 13th t'boot, I figured we'd give another roll to the Harry Potter dice.*
If it saves me from the Halloween pumpkin sex fics I kept coming across last year, I'm all for it. (Never search for seasonal fics. Ever. I made that mistake again at Easter... *shudders*)
*No, I really have no clue where that phrase/analogy came from 😅

Friday Fics Fix - Because You're Mine
Since it's October - y'know, witchy and spoopy time and all - what's better than some Harry Potter?
This is a fic I came across about Harry being asexual, and how, yes, he can be ace and still in a relationship with Ginny!
(Because fanfiction is going to save the ever-loving world dammit!!! The future is coming!!!!! *ahem* No, really. I'm fine.)

September was a mixed bag.
But then, that's life I suppose! Still, it was my birthday month, so there's that at least ;)

Friday Fics Fix - B-A-B-Y Baby
Something a li'l different for you this week my nerdlets!
This week I've got a fic based on the awesome film Baby Driver - if you haven't seen it, it's pretty damned cool!
For those not in the know (or in need of a reminder,) Baby Driver is about a getaway driver called Baby who plays music (LOUD) on a semi-permanent basis to drown out his tinnitus (and the whiny bank robbers he works with.)

Friday Fics Fix - Anything But Ordinary, Please
In fandom, anything that can be shipped eventually will be shipped.
(Fangirling notes: fandom is here used as a collective term for fans.
Which is both awesome and terrifying when you think about it. 👍😅
(Fangirling notes: fandom is here used as a collective term for fans.
Shipping is wanting two (or more) characters to be in a romantic or sexual relationship. This may or may not conform to the official materials, known as canon.)

Friday Fics Fix - Birthday!
It's my birthday today!!!! (Woo!)
That means, under the rules of birthdays, I'm allowed to pick a totally self-indulgent fic for this week's post. That may be unfair, but I don't make the rules*
*OK, I do - but that's because it's my birthday! (That's one of the rules!)

Month in Review(s) - August 2017
August. Yeah, August...
August, for me, was stressful.
My 88-year-old grandfather was very unwell and ended up in hospital, he's better now but we still have to do a lot to make sure he and my grandmother are safe, happy, and as healthy as they can be.

Friday Fics Fix - You're Guaranteed To Run This Town
The Da Vinci Code controversy seems so long ago, doesn't it?
How quaint that the early-to-mid noughties were so full of debate over a mediocre thriller plot. Why did people care so much over whether Jesus ever had a wife and/or child?

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.
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.
