Weirdos, teenagers, degenerates, and women

Ship It by Britta Lundin

March 23, 2022 by carmelpie 2 Comments

“Real writing” is done by serious people, whereas fanfiction is written by weirdos, teenagers, degenerates, and women.” This is a comics convention. When did this industry start caring about what fourteen-year-old girls like? Have you ever found a book that feels as if it was written just for you? From the first two chapters, I was in love with this book. Small town girl – Check. Self-identified outcast – Check. Obsessed over a band or a show or a movie to the point of writing […]

There was no other way I could go with the Self Care BINGO square than by reviewing a fanfic. #CBRBINGO – Self Care

Dan Westchester, Hello Kitty Enthusiast by violue

August 4, 2021 by narfna 17 Comments

Link to the story on AO3: Dan Westchester, Hello Kitty Enthusiast Firstly, if you are not familiar with fanfic (which I hope is not many of you, because it is a true pleasure to indulge in) many fics have individual titles but are part of a series that also has a title. I’ve used the series title for this one, Dan Westchester, Hello Kitty Enthusiast, because it makes me laugh, and because I honestly think it’s a better title than part one of the fic, […]

I Loved This One Unabashedly and Hope You Do Too

All the Feels by Olivia Dade

July 11, 2021 by faintingviolet 3 Comments

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All the Feels publishes November 16th, 2021 (originally scheduled for October 26th, 2021.) Last year I read and loved Spoiler Alert and was excited to see that there would be another book in the universe. All the Feels takes everything I loved about the first book and deepens it, makes it stronger and better. All the Feels is very likely going to make it into my top three books of […]

Didn’t work for me, but I think that’s my problem.

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade

May 9, 2021 by ingres77 Leave a Comment

I needed a break from The Wheel of Time. I know Olivia Dade has been getting a lot of reviews over the last year, so I thought I’d give this one a shot. I told my wife about the book, and she downloaded it from Audible. I’ve had a few semi-successful forays into the world of romantic novels, and I haven’t really found them to my liking. Some I’ve really liked, others have left me reeling with indifference. I think, generally, I tend to fall […]

Harry Potter punches Loki in the face

On Punching Gods and Absentee Dads by Enigmaris

February 15, 2021 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

  This is a review of a straight-up crossover fanfiction, so beware, all ye who enter here! As you can probably guess from the title, this is a Harry Potter/Avengers crossover.  Now, I read a lot of fanfiction, and I go through them fairly quickly.  I’m not in the habit of writing reviews on the actual works, let alone 250+ words on Cannonball (I know, bad habit).  But this one deserves it!  (Also, it’s not smutty!) After the death of Sirius, Harry receives a delayed […]

A Modern Poldark AU Fanfiction, because why not?

The Distance Between Us by Lucretiassister

December 23, 2020 by faintingviolet 1 Comment

Welcome to my first ever review of fanfiction, are we ready? We’ll try to be, certainly. I read a lot of short form works this year (my AO3 history tells me somewhere in the neighborhood of 600, certainly not all of it good) and I don’t really think I’ll be reviewing any of those, but I am going to review a novel length work that I’ve been following along with since March. I had mentioned in my review of Spoiler Alert, a book where fanfiction […]

    I think there is more visibility for stories with older and middle aged women. I’m here for it.
