I am a happy dead-fandom obsessive today

[annavere]

Occasionally I trawl (stalk? I hope I don't stalk) old DW and LJ archives looking for links to non-AO3 Jeremiah content. It often leads to purged accounts and dead 404 links and other sadness, but sometimes I find treasure, like today, when I discovered a vid.

Watch on YouTube

So I'm sitting there enjoying it for its hard hitting emotions (this was such a dark show) and resigning myself to certain characters not showing up, when all of a sudden it shifts gears, I suddenly recognize the song and it turns into a hit parade of precisely those neglected secondary characters. Ezekiel! Lee! Meaghan! Sims! And I always suspected that Libby's two 'Crossing Jordan' kisses would be insanely hot if juxtaposed and this beautiful person actually did that. And the ending was super emotional and good lord, Michelle and Gabe finally made it into a fanvideo!

This is exactly what I needed today, so I had to squee to commemorate my good fortune. Hopefully I can parlay this inspiration into some writing gains before the day is over.

It's always so great to come across a fanwork that really hits you the right way -- all the more so if it's in a rarely discussed fandom!

[annavere]

Definitely agree! I treasure my more active fandoms, and between the large backlog and the creation of new material, I might never run out - but for the dormant fandoms, that sense of finite discoveries makes me savor what little there is.

I'm old DW/LJ is bringing you treasures.

[annavere]

Your Jeremiah meta tag is certainly a treasure! I found them thought-provoking and well-argued and would be happy to comment upon them, if Jeremiah is still of interest to you (*checks dates*) fourteen years later.

It is my curse to be terribly late to everything.

I am also terribly late to almost all fandoms. Please feel free to comment on anything on DW. I love comments! (I appear to be locked out of LJ and don't really care enough to try to troubleshoot it, so I can't currently reply to comments there.)
