Fannish Friday: your ultimate microfandom
I want some conversation! So let's talk about the stuff we love that nobody else loves. I feel certain I've asked about this before, but it can never hurt to ask about it again!
What is the one (or two or three) canon that you love so very much that you're ravenous for fic/meta/fanart/squee about it but you simply can't find it?
The three that come to mind for me are:
+ The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, which has such rich worldbuilding and side characters that I wish could read a thousand fics about virtually anything!
+ M.M. Kaye's The Shadow of the Moon, which has one of my ultimate OTPs, who I would like to read a thousand canon divergence fics in which Alex and Winter fall in love in a thousand different ways.
+ Shut Up! Flower Boy Band, a kdrama about a rock band that has a brush with fame, which has such rich characters and relationships that I would could (again) read a thousand fics about these characters bumping into each other! Jamie wrote me one OT4 fic back in the long-ago days after the show came out, but other than that, there's almost nothing.

Just butting in here to say that 2008 Survivors is a remake of the original 1970s BBC TV series, and technically for copyright reasons (the Terry Nation estate is deeply weird about copyright of his stuff), the 2008 was based on his tie-in novelisation instead, which was slightly different, but... it's still just the tie-in! (Which is to say that sadly I would very much doubt a 70s tie-in book by Terry Nation is that good, so I'd go in with low expecations & hope to be surprised, sorry).
The original TV series exists and is complete, though! You might be able to find it somewhere - it can be very 70s in the bad way sometimes (warnings for, like, pretty much everything I can think of, seriously) but I caught up with it years after watching s1 of 2008 on TV and found it completely gripping, so it's worth looking out for if you enjoyed the premise & would be up for an earlier take on it.
However, the 2008 storyline and characters were either very changed or completely new from the 70s ones, aside from Abby and sort of Greg (ish), so I think only the 2008's creators can really give you closure on that one, sadly. Or fic! <3
(If you do ever catch the 1975 and like it, I can scream happily about that one, lol, but I'm way too fuzzy on the 2008 at this date).
