Special Hell Fic Rec

[fictional]

Hi guys! Any of y'all like RPS? 'Cause if you do, go ahead and check out this gem. It's RTD/GDL and it is awesome. *grin* C'mon. I saved you all a seat next to the fires of the seventh circle. It's toasty and warm, and I brought marshmallows.

I'm pretty fond of it myself. And to think, I used to have lines and everything. Okay, I didn't, but I used to be better at pretending I did.

I got into fanfic via RSP (what they now call bandom, incidentally, some ... close to 10 years ago now) so yeah - hard to deny the attraction even now, even if the TW/DW circles produce little quality RPS as you noted above. I'm fond of the David Tennant/Derren Brown ones that versaphile wrote (which is admittedly, more crossover RPS than anything :P), but just because it hits my kink, I suppose.

Hmm! versaphile is pretty great. She's writing a Doctor/Master that I'm following, I think. I'll have to check out her Tennant story.

I guess I started out in Bandom too, sort of. But that was pre-internet for me; and it was Mary-Sue self insertion of the worst kind. Excusable, I suppose hope when uninflicted on the general public! My best friend (magnetgirl) and I used to exchange 'em. We didn't even know it was called fanfic back then.

I have to say, I think being a fan was harder in those days of yore. You actually had to dig for info when it wasn't just all available digitally.

She also has some DT/JB?... or was that DT/John Simm which I know she has - ... Praxis, yeah, I'm following that one also quite intently.

I didn't really write it back then, mostly read it. First slash story was Silverchair/Placebo crossover which was just hot because Brian Molko is quite the twink (and not). Ah I do think Mary Sues are excusable in general when they fulfill needs of people. No-one has to read it and enjoy it. *shrugs*

Pre-internet- yeah I can imagine. Still think it's funny I came to regular fandoms by starting out with RPS, then slipping into original gay fiction and gay porn and slipping back into fandom.

Slash! *laughs* God, I don't even *know* what my first slash pairing was. When I discovered fanfic, it was a mutual friend giving me a heads up about rm's hp fic. And then another friend telling me about Buffy fandom. It was all het for me at first. I can't even remember what my first slash story was, although I suspect it was either a Harry/Draco or a Angel/Spike. God, and then it was Queer as Folk (...and in the beginning, there was RTD...)

I don't, actually, consider myself a "slasher" per se. I'm usually pretty omnivorous with regard to pairings, and I'll do any flavor of slash/femmeslash, het, and/or poly -- although in any fandom there's usually a select few that I'll be into, and then others that I'll read if the story seems good, and still more than I just find improbable and worse, uninteresting, and then there's usually one that I just cannot stand. Often this is a canon pairing, which is usually really obnoxious.

I have been reading all this RPS by versaphile now! Thanks for the tip. =)
