One Night Stand Fandoms

[strina]

This Transformers fling makes me really wish there was some kind of meme or comm or something re: One Night Stand Fandoms. Because guys, I have all kinds of fandoms I love and for some of them, that love is lasting and steadfast and TRUE. For others, it is more "we used to bang and now we are Facebook friends"; I really like them! But I can go months without actively remembering they exist. And then I see them on my flist/rlist and go YAY, but still.

I want primers for the casual fan, not the beginner who's planning to stay a while! Holy shit, do you know how AMAZINGLY USEFUL it would have been to have someone tell me at that start that hey, TF fandom. Even when pairing a human and Transformer, they're not primarily into human/mech; it is mostly "Bumblebee has a human holoform!" or "Sam turns into a 'bot!" They hooked me with interface cable porn*! THE CAKE IS A LIE.

Or the one-time-I-had-this-fandom stories! You know, theones that go I don't know what happened! TFV posted a rec and the next thing I knew, it was three days later and I had 60 bookmarks for a fandom I'm not even in! WHY IS THIS GUY APPARENTLY ALWAYS LICKING THINGS AND HOW THE HELL IS THAT EMBASSY ZONED FOR WOLVES. Have some links, I guess?.

It would be amazing! I'm going to see The A-Team this weekend and I totally wish there was a post somewhere from a veteran fan who doesn't want my eyeballs to bleed when I inevitably come home starry-eyed and looking for slash.

*It is robot porn COMBINED with tentacle porn! I LOVE IT LOTS, YOU GUYS, AND THERE ARE LIKE THREE FICS. COME ON, THAT WOULD TOTALLY BE AT LEAST THREE KINK BINGO SQUARES AT ONCE! (Vehicular, tentacles, and mechanical/technological, natch.)

*so* much this!!! and I'm compulsive about it - so I end up trawling AO3 and the Pit of Voles and random LJ communities and reading just about everything I find - for shows where I've *maybe* seen two episodes (if that). for an illness? or possibly it's all TFV's fault, somehow

Ask in create_my_comm? I'd totally join that too.

...do you have links to those three fics? **also suffers from deprivation**

Aha, and now I'm madly curious about the zoned-for-wolves embassy and a fellow that's always licking things. Or was that just randomly produced?

Due South: A Canadian Mountie named Fraser (played by Paul Gross) came to Chicago on the trail of his father's killers, accompanied by his deaf wolf, Diefenbaker. Fraser apparently often licks things?

INTERFACE CABLES:

Into the Fire (Sam/Bumblebee) [Transformers]
Stigmatic (Sam/Mikaela/Bumblebee) [Transformers] (part of the Simulacra 'verse)
(I think there was a third, but if so, I didn't enjoy it enough to bookmark)

Ooh, thanks!
