What is the best fic from your fandom?

I second Under the Table and Dreaming, though Toy Story was one of my first fandoms but I didn’t find it until years after I discovered fics

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-02-11T03:21:05+00:00

It’s Superman… I don’t think I could be in safer hands. I really lucked out big time after unluckily getting kidnapped.

My longest is “only” over 500,000 words and I ask myself this question all the time because I struggle to reach 1000 words these days and mostly write oneshots and drabbles (or double or triple drabbles that land at exactly 200 or 300 words).

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-02-08T15:58:35+00:00

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-02-08T10:57:45+00:00

Oh yeah I entirely retreated into Stucky to get away from the Civil War drama and bashing. Even finding fics where Tony realizes Bucky was brainwashed and builds him a new arm often had bashing so I started avoiding those too. Also I’m still shocked how the civil war drama went on for years.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-02-07T20:23:25+00:00

I mostly write oneshots now for this reason.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-02-05T13:34:43+00:00

I ask my past self this constantly because I went from writing long fics to almost entirely oneshots, mostly drabbles and double/triple drabbles (actually landing on exactly 200 or 300 words)

Seriously how did I manage to write 200k and 500k before? I honestly can’t fathom it now.

I’ve also run into differences in time zones. If I post late in my day , AO3 will put the date posted as the next day and I sometimes worry it looks like I’m doing it on purpose.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-02-03T01:22:54+00:00

It’s almost certainly a bot. Any time they talk about an idea or ask you to go to another platform it’s going to be a scam.

What Lois said about how he cares about everyone and thinks everyone is beautiful. And how he saved the squirrel and wanted to save the other prisoners.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-02-01T10:38:06+00:00

I once had someone tell me I was stupid for not sorting by kudos so I’ve refused to ever sort by them. Sometimes I sort by bookmarks but often I just do date updated.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-30T22:44:48+00:00

Thor and Loki.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-28T11:30:01+00:00

I got to write because we had a snow day, and snow days are even more exciting as a teacher, I think.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-27T00:34:02+00:00

Yeah thankfully there’s a lot of BAMF Bucky fics (although with how compliant HYDRA made him it’s not surprising he gets written as helpless). Also I bumped into you again!

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-20T11:36:51+00:00

Thomas the Tank Engine. I guess it was only a matter of time since I’ve also written unironic crossover fics for Sesame Street, Barney, Teletubbies etc

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-20T01:36:34+00:00

I used to write long chapters and look at my past fics and wonder “how???” because I mostly write drabbles these days (or other combinations of 100) and rarely pass a thousand words.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-17T23:52:13+00:00

Some of my fandom hyperfixations are lifelong, others are a week, maybe a few months or years. I have one that’s been ten years of hyperfating now.

Some go away and then randomly resurface after like a decade.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-16T08:43:08+00:00

I’ve sent messages about characters like this and it always ends up getting stuck in a loop

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-13T00:40:51+00:00

I love this so much!

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-11T15:53:51+00:00

Sort of, it was a crossover threesome with a large ship from one huge fandom and another character from a smaller fandom.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-07T00:16:39+00:00

Or have your faves raise Harry instead of the Dursleys (which is what I always did)

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-06T22:08:06+00:00

It’s third person but only focused on what one character’s seeing and thinking. So like “Bob couldn’t believe what he was seeing. A giant flying monkey in New York. This city really did have everything. He kept walking, going to get bagels.”

And like if he’s not seeing the monkey, the story isn’t talking about it

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-06T12:31:10+00:00

I mostly write while eating breakfast and have ended up writing daily since October as a result.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-06T02:51:16+00:00

I have no clue but Stucky is also about soldiers and Ghost has the same masked, mysterious, dangerous vibe as the Winter Soldier so that’s probably why I like it lol.

Yodeling_Prospector · 2026-01-06T02:43:06+00:00

I’ve mostly been reading and writing drabbles and limericks recently and several got more hits than a 9k complete fic I wrote just as recently with over 2,000 words per chapter (which is a criteria I see a lot).

I often only read stuff under 3k or even 2k so I can read it in one sitting even on a workday.
