Fannish Friday

[lirazel]

Early this week, a thought appeared fully-formed in my mind: if snickfic was in CQL/MDZS fandom, she would have written Jiang Cheng mpreg fic already. And it would be glorious.

I do not know why I had this sudden thought, but I instantly knew the truth of it. And it got me thinking about how sometimes when you're interacting with a piece of media, you just know how a friend would relate to it.

So I pondered this some more and some other ideas came to mind about what would happen if various friends watched k-dramas.

+dollsome  would be delighted by Jun Ji-hyun's characters in things like My Love from the Star and Legend of the Blue Sea and I also think she would be a Kim Seul-gi fan
+elperian  and sophia_sol  would be into the competence and integrity of the characters in Healer and elperian  would be writing fic about Jung-hu and Young-shin taking down governments through the power of journalism and being an outlaw
+ I think dolorosa_12  would be moved by the family relationships and reflections on growing up and time passing, etc. in the Reply series.
 + And sooo many of y'all would love Ko Moon-young's unhinged energy in It's Okay to Not Be Okay


Do y'all have thoughts like this? Just knowing which of your friends would be into what in fandoms they aren't? Please share!

I have a couple fandom friends whose tastes align almost perfectly with my own. If I watch/read/play something where I go "Oh wow, that's really fucked up," I can basically guarantee that they'll be into it too lol. We're all into moral ambiguity, bittersweet or downright unhappy endings, and other grimdark foolery :p

On the flipside, I have other fandom friends whose tastes are polar opposite to mine to the point where I can easily predict if they will like something just based on how much I hate it lmao. For example, when one of them started reading "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers, I knew with complete certainty that she was going to love it, only because of how much of an anti-rec it is for me XD
