Most of us here have at least one movie/book/tv series/comic book/and more that speaks to us on a special level. Here is your opportunity to wax poetic on those things!

We want to hear what new canons to investigate. Tell us why that thing is cool. Tell us why you enjoy it so much. Tell us where to start if we want to get into it too (and how to find it if it’s not something mainstream that’s easy to find everywhere). It can be difficult to find fandom friends with shared interests sometimes, but this is your chance to cultivate a shared interest!

I’m hopelessly multi-fannish, so at any given time I have feels for several fandoms at once. I never really know what will make me feel fannish, but the fandoms are almost always historical or fantastical. Or both at the same time! I have written fanfics for all the fandoms I mention, apart from Deadwood, because I feel I can’t make the language of that show justice.

I list the fandom in alphabetical order for convenience. There are no spoilers below the cuts, they are just there to not clutter up my f-list too much with a very long post.

( All About Eve )

( Deadwood )

( Doctor Who )

( The Historian )

( Ivanhoe )

( Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell )

( The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel )

( The Mummy )

( Penny Dreadful )

( Versailles )

Because I always seem to gravitate to small fandoms.

Title: Blackmail Is Such An Ugly Word
Fandom: All About Eve
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 1645
Characters: Addison DeWitt, Karen Richards
Pairings Addison DeWitt/ Karen Richards,
Warnings: Blackmail, non-consensual kissing
Summary: Addison DeWitt pays Karen a visit a hot summer day.
AN: I recently rewatched All About Eve and it struck me of how practiced Addison’s blackmail of Eve is. He knows exactly what he is doing, so the logical conclusion is that he has done it before. And I felt sure he would do it again if he had the opportunity. Then I thought of how he now knows how Karen went behind Margo’s back to help Eve. And then I thought that Karen is the only person in the movie Addison seems to like a little. I know he and Eve are often described a homosexual in various analysis, but with Addison I (obviously) I don’t agree. I think his sexuality is completely tied to power, not gender- the more power and dominance he can wield over someone, the more attractive that persons become.

So the next I knew my perverted mind had provided me with this. Or rather, it provided me with a lot more, and it turned a lot more disturbing than I first intended. Now, Addison DeWitt is a very disturbing character; he is a horrible man, and I’m glad he is imaginary. So as of now, I’m not sure if I will post more, or not. I probably will post more, as it continues to poke at me.

And a few words on perfume. Being rather scent oriented and interested in perfume history, I often spend way too much time imagining what scent a character would wear; here Addison DeWitt. Caron’s Pour un Homme launched in 1934 and was then unusually daring and complex for being a man’s scent. It opens with lavender, with other herbs as a supporting role, with more herbs and with woody tones as middle notes. And in the base, there is tonka bean and vanilla and a little musk, with a hint of moss. It’s an ambiguous scent- to my modern nose it can be worn equally well by a woman as a man, and I felt it suited Addison’s rather dubious nature.
