I’d been on various other kicks for a while, but this week Fire Emblem: Three Houses pulled me right back down the fan-fiction rabbit hole. I’m not even sure what kicked it off.
There are a few series that I find myself coming back to. What are yours?
Sometimes the fandom is more compelling than the work itself. Sometimes the fandom makes me like the work more.
That is 100% Pokémon for me lol. The fans put more passion into plots than the franchise itself has for years.
The Pokémon fandom in particular has an incredible grasp on building lore from virtually nothing. These two characters appeared in a single scene together with no lines? THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS FOR LIFE AND YOU WILL BE IN AWE OF THEIR BOND.
And it 1000% works and I am here for it!
