Snowflake Challenge #13: My favourite Pan-fics (Peter Pan fics)

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 02:01:57 GMT

I've decided to suspend doing the Snowflake challenges in order so that I can jump on something a bit more timely!

Snowflake Challenge #13 is "Make a rec list of fanworks!" I've been in a bit of a Peter Pan frame of mind lately, what with travelling to Dublin to watch a theatre performance of Peter Pan (okay, I was visiting a friend, but we did very much make the plans around going to see that show xD) (I should do a DW post about it) and then the other day I pulled out an old notebook to use for something and unexpectedly found a Peter Pan fic I'd been writing inside xD

Originally I thought of doing this rec list for one of my more recent fandoms, but then the idea of a Pan-fics roundup took hold (also because I enjoy using the term Pan-fics :D). It's quite a small collection, but it's fun to bring together works from through the years with different takes on the canon and characters. I hope you all enjoy the result!

Snowflake Challenge #6 & #9: Why I love Harvard/Aiden (FENCE)

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 00:02:07 GMT

Challenge #6 for the Snowflake Challenge is: In your own space, share a favourite piece of original canon (a show, a specific TV episode, a storyline, a book or series, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

For the FENCE Secret Santa last month I had the pleasure of writing Harvard/Aiden, my favourite ship in FENCE. Harvard/Aiden is a brilliant ship pairing the fencing team captain with the 'school playboy', which you can imagine is a very fun combination of personalities. Despite this, it doesn't really have much of a dedicated fandom - it's one of those ships that everyone is happy to ship but that kind of plays second fiddle to the main canon ship (Seiji/Nicholas), usually appearing as a side pairing in fanworks.

As part of canon review for my Secret Santa, I enjoyed re-reading Harvard and Aiden's interactions in the comics (they are also a canon pairing in the spin-off novels by Sarah Rees Brennan, but I'm not a fan of the books) and so for Challenge #6, I'm going to break down a scene that shows why I love Harvard/Aiden so much. I think this also works for Challenge #9, which is all about reccing a thing you love!

But first, who are our characters?
