After Mad Max: Fury Road’s opening weekend, it was very clear that this movie was going to give birth to a very specific fandom online. Tumblr did not disappoint me at all on my fan art search during this week’s installment of Fanart GLEE! You can learn about a movie’s fanbase through its fanart and tonight I discovered that Doof Warrior is quite popular, almost as popular as Nux. Why am I not surprised, as a fangirl, that Nux is extremely popular for being kind of really adorable? Enjoy the artwork below!

If you’ve known me for at least five seconds, you’ll know that Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is one of my favorite anime.  It is the beautiful yet explosive heartbreaking tale of an exiled prince-turned-terrorist and his best friend. And Pizza Hut. What’s not to love? And you have to have a lot of love to cosplay Code Geass. From the student uniforms to the elegant ballgowns, one has to do a lot of work to put into bringing the outfits to life.

I could honestly do a cosplay showcase for every character from this show because there’s so many stunning and thoughtful photos but here’s just a snippet overall:

—Guest Post by Rob E. Boley, author of That Risen Snow: A Scary Tale of Snow White & Zombies

It seemed like an appropriately authorly technique to start this post by reminiscing about my first memory of the iconic character Snow White. The thing is, my memory sucks.

I do vaguely recall sitting in my childhood bedroom and playing with seven dwarf figures that my parents bought for me on one of our first trips to Disney World. The dwarfs weren’t very exciting—just frozen hunks of painted plastic with no articulation.

My first clear recollection of the lady herself was actually a parody from the 1980 comedy 9 to 5, in which three fed-up co-workers, played by Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Jane Fonda, enact revenge on their sexist boss, Franklin Hart, played by Dabney Coleman. In one memorable dream sequence, the three ladies get high and share their wild fantasies for killing Hart. In Tomlin’s story, she assumes the role of a chipper Snow White, complete with animated birds and fairy tale music. Tomlin plays the scene with the perfect amount of wicked glee and tongue-in-cheek innocence as she poisons Hart’s coffee. The scene not only played with the notion of a male-dominated workplace, but also the role of the stereotypical passive fairy tale princess.

Hello there, kiddies, and welcome to another edition of Awesome Fanfic Monday! This week we are featuring one of my favorite kinds of fanfiction: crossover fanfiction. I love it when people are able to creatively and plausibly combine two different fictional worlds. The two worlds that are combined in this story are The Matrix and Tron.

The story this week is Rogue Program by JA Baker of Fanfiction.net. In this story Neo runs into a a mysterious man with a strange disc weapon. It turns out that this man is the program Tron who exists in the Matrix, but he is a rogue program.
