#there's a palpable absence of rey fics and i'd argue ed fics too

[thinkingisadangerouspastime]

okay i finished going through all 55 pages of l&o fanfic on ffn (i did not read them all, but i do think i read all the kincoy), so maybe i'll put together a fic rec list soon 🤔

#there's technically three i've set aside to savor lol so i'll probably read those first #BUT. otherwise im all out of fics methinks #which means i have to write what i want to read. why. cruel world #there was a mike x nina fic i read which was SO galaxy-brained #here's what i learned from my ffn experience: #jack x abbie is probably jack's second most popular ship but some of the authors really seem to hate claire 💀 #jack x nora?? that's also a thing apparently??? and lennie x anita is also pretty popular #i was scrolling so far back in years that queer fics were being called slash #i've just noticed the term doesn't seem as common anymore?? if anyone who knows about fandom history want to share why feel free to do so #**wants #im curious. i would like to know #oh also 99% of recent fics were 'cutterosa' which i think is connie and ig the post-jack eada #lots of variants on aftershock fics! claire's dead claire's in a coma kincoy happy ending claire's a ghost etc. etc. #oh my god. yk what was unbelievably common with aftershock fics?? claire being pregnant #i just. im. this fandom lmfao #last but not least: fandom racism and homophobia rears its ugly head #there's a palpable absence of rey fics and i'd argue ed fics too #and the treatment of serena 😭 my girl deserves better #i need to go through all the l&o fics on ao3 ig #i think i've been through all the kincoy and all the fics with jack on there #anyways. too much talking in my tags!! #amy rambles
