A brilliant idea

[geoviki]

I am so hopelessly behind on the fandom, having been gone most of the month while you all were at your most productive. You may notice drive-by comments from me on posts that are weeks old. I'm trying, I'm failing to catch up. It finally occurred to me while brushing my teeth that I could solve my problem by jettisoning HP fandom and moving on to a whole new fandom. But which?

Well, I used to be a huge Nancy Drew reader as a child, so I know an awful lot about that canon. ND fandom has the huge advantage of being nonexistant (AFAIK), so there'd be no posts to even have to track down and catch up on.

But see, I still like slash, and Nancy and her twu luv Ned are so blatantly het that that would never work for me as a writer. But there are her sidekicks Bess and George. Now George is so butch that even I, an oblivious 10 year old, noticed, so there's the femmeslash right off the bat. And the author made up some beards for them, Dave Evans and Burt Eddleton (Ned's good buddies). If these boys are so agreeable to partnering two obvious lesbians all around town, there's not much writing needed to pair them up as well, so there we have it! My new OTP: Dave/Burt!

Come join my fandom! I've scheduled the wankfest for 5 days from today, we'll all part enemies by the end of the day. The whole fandom from inception to ugly explosion shouldn't take more than a week, tops.

On another topic, I'm not getting nearly enough sleep. Oh, I guess that really isn't another topic.

That's great! I was a huge Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys fan. I don't know that I could write ND or HB slash, though. Fabulous concept, however. ;)

Glad that you're back, and your icon is spot on. Once you get famous in fandom, you can never leave- it all goes by too quickly to keep up!! If only one could have a virtual personal assistant to sort through all of the fandom posts and fic and emails, as people do in real life. LOL.

Hope that your sleep patterns improve; mine are rather horrendous right now, not helped in the fact that the students are returning and staying up really late, partying hard across the street. :P

I'm in!

Good. It won't leave much time for re-reading canon. That'd be too horrible. I loved the books dearly as a child, but when I tried to re-read them as an adult... *shudders*

OMG I loved Nancy Drew & The Hardy Boys...still do of course, one never outgrows that sort of thing. Nancy/Frank/Joe = OT3!! (Seriously, that would be so hot ;P)

Get some sleep, lady!

Oooh, Nancy Drew! Count me in for the wankfest, I always secretly preferred The Hardy Boys.

Perhaps when the ashes are settled and meltdown complete you could join me in forming a Bobsy Twins fandom? They're very much a non-entity at the moment, slash-wise...

I have read Bess/George (or perhaps it was Nancy/George, from Bess's POV? I don't remember). It was pretty good, as I recall - I'll see if I can find the link for you.

And YOU know what fandom I want you to pick up.

No. Nooooooo! Waaaaaaah! Don't leave Harry and Draco!

On a related note, have you read zahra5's Italian fic? Just finished, good, languid, sun-warmed.

Did you ever read the lesbian comedy parody trilogy about Nancy Clueless? I have them around here somewhere, but Lord knows where. One set also featured the Hardly Boys. I'm pretty sure it was written by friends sitting around with numerous pitchers of margaritas, so some of the jokes get overdone, but it's still great fun!

Hiya! -hugs- I've not forgotten your drabble either, I just haven't figured out what I want yet, although I've been thinking a Draco's hairdresser missing mo.

um... hahah. thanks for the joke. Now catch up quick and jump back in.
:P

Nancy Drew...? *grins* Oh, did I love that series. I still have half the books, actually, simply for good memories. (I was such a Ned/Nancy shipper back then, it was insane...)

... Dave/Burt? ♥ Okay, I love that.

Did you ever read those books...? Oh, it's been ages since I remember reading them, a friend let me borrow-- and I don't remember if they were any good or what, but they were a parody of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. Only everyone was gay. And these were actually published.

Nancy Clue...? And the Hardly Boys. Or something. Pfft. I suppose they were both amusing and disturbing at the time, but I remember thinking this explained a lot about the real books in general, and that amused me so much that I ended up reading them all.

Anyway.

*coughs* So yes. It's nice to see you again! Hope things are going well. ^__^

You're back! *clings*

I don't remember anyone from Nancy Drew except Nancy and the secret passageways. So is my OTP Nancy/Secret Passageway?

That could actually be hot.

hahahhahahahaha, omg, I love you. That was exactly what I needed to read tonight. ♥

I was totally into Nancy Drew! Haha plump Bess and butch George were totally doing it between "luncheons" ;)
