Welcome to Awesome Fanfic Monday!

I love myself a good parody. I also love myself a good crossover. You can imagine how delighted I was when I found a fanfic that falls into both of the these categories. This week’s fanfic combines both my favorite and least favorite pieces of the vampire genre into one. That’s right, some blessed soul combined Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight into a fun little one shot that will make any Buffy fan smile with delight.

This week’s Awesome Fanfic Monday goes to Dear Edward, I’ve Indulged and I Regret by I Was NotA Robot of Fanfiction.net.

Welcome to Awesome Fanfic Monday!

Despite the amazing Star Wars fever going on right now this time of year always reminds me of Lord of the Rings. The movies were always released mid December, so I cannot help but associate wintertime with the lovely magic that is Tolkien.

One of the more infamous pieces of fanfiction out there is a personal favorite of mine and it is “Legolas by Laura”. It’s up there with the Harry Potter fanfic “My Immortal” and I think deserves recognition as being one of the first fanfics to go viral. Let’s face it, us older people, if we had been a pre-teen and had access to a computer, we probably would have written something very similar to this. Like all great myths and old world ballads, the true author of this is unknown. I just hope she or he is proud of its legacy.

Sorry Robert Downey, Jr. but I’m pretty sure when the young un’s think of Sherlock Holmes, they will think of Benedict Cumberbatch.

BBC’s Sherlock brought Sherlock Holmes back into pop culture in a big bad way and it’s a flat-out amazing series. Even I— someone who will never understand the passionate Cumberbatch fandom love—enjoys watching this show. It’s smart and different while paying respects to the original work.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year as they say and what better way to cherish this holiday season that to watch a movie about a serial killer turned into a homicidal snowman.

You read that right. For this edition of “Horrible Horror Movie Wednesday” I am dedicating it to the direct to video cult horror flick Jack Frost. This is not to be mistaken with the heartwarming family film starring Michael Keaton, this Jack Frost is a very very different kind of entertainment.

Why do you need to watch this, you ask? Since you insist I will happily tell you.

The Lady Geeks discuss the importance of consent when having a celebrity encounter. You should always ask before hugging… or biting (a fan bit Norman Reedus and it wasn’t us!). The girls celebrate the excellence that is Carrie Fisher and discuss Target pretending that Captain Phasma is a man because apparently girls don’t like Star Wars?

Welcome to Awesome Fanfic Monday!

I, like many, love Sherlock. It is a well written, very well acted show with a great rendition of an iconic character. When Sherlock (spoiler alert if you’re way behind) supposedly committed suicide that was the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers. It was heartbreaking to see John’s grief to the loss of his best friend. For this week’s fanfic I chose a story that catalogues John’s grief and adjustment to the loss of his unique friend.

This week’s Awesome Fanfic Monday is dedicated to Texting a Disconnected Phone by Cumberbatch Critter of Fanficion.net.
