Rewatching the show in preparation for the movie has made me nostalgic for Veronica Mars fanfic.
Last time I posted recs here was spring 2007! How time does fly. :)
So now, come one and all back from Tumblr, and bring your friends. Rec me your classic favorites, the fic you wrote that you're the most proud of, the new and exciting stories you're enjoying that are set around the movie. And… go!
Apologies for the lateness of this week's post. We editors are all busy.
I know that many of us here are still handling the lost of the show in different ways, and my personal way is to think of all the crap that didn't happen, but could have given Neptune's proclivities to bring out the worst in people. All of that is to say that this week's fics are all on the side of angst, with some death thrown in for good measure.
Canon may be (almost) closed, but we'll always have fanfic.
What VM fic have you been enjoying recently? What are some of your personal favorites? What have you written lately? Come one, come all, and remember the characters we love.
Occasionally, when the going gets tough, the tough ... go out of town, for the summer, a roadtrip, a semester abroad, a honeymoon, or, you know, just because. It makes sense to me, especially when you consider what an evil, warped, claustrophobic environment Neptune can be. Personally, I'm addicted to following Veronica on her travels to Canada, Scotland, Italy, England, and other, far away places as she takes pictures, explores castles and refugee camps, or studies. Each of the following features a trip out of the country for Veronica, her friends and lovers. So, please fasten your safety belt, place your tray tables and seat backs in the upright and locked position, rip open that tiny bag of peanuts, crank up the iPod, and enjoy.
Every now and again, I find myself wanting to read fics that create some strained relationships between the characters. One such type involves threesomes and how the complicated sexual relationship can work within the confines of the characters and the show.
With that in mind, here are some fics that feature a threesome to complicate the love lives of Neptune.
Two of my very favorite (and rarely seen) characters on VM consist of the strapping men that make up the Clemmons family. Butters Vincent is quirky, yet lovable (Space elevator, anyone?), and his father, the illustrious vice principal at Neptune High, is even a match for Miss Mars. While left behind when Veronica and Co. went to college, this dynamic duo can never be forgotten. Here are a few of my favorite fics featuring the Clemmons', in minor and major capacities.
This last piece is something a little different. It was written forneptune_online and, to my knowledge, hasn't been posted anywhere else as "fic." I'm linking to the original post in the comm's planning blog, though, in case anyone wants to leave comments.
