@FandomChats i love rarepairs! that's really the majority of what i like when i think about it. I don't know what i like about them that makes them unpopular really...i wonder more about what makes the general fandom disinterested really, especially when it's a situation where they're quite literally best friends interacting all the time!

in my understanding, a crackship is more of a crossover thing, or pairing characters together that have never had a canon interaction. i guess my intrigue with these is more based on the angle the writers coming from rather than the characters themselves

a favorite crackfic is "brunch discount" by DimensionTheDykes. it's a really silly and sweet with #maximillionpegasus treating #velliancrowler to nothing but the best brunch for his new wife (crowler). we love a widower that will belittle the waiter #joeywheeler to make sure she's treated like the queen she is! definitely go read it, it's a fun one 🍳

@FandomChats The main thing I struggle with is works-in-progress. By the time it updates, I’ve forgotten previous plot points! One biggie in OFMD fandom is Pina Coladas, and it sounds wonderful, but I just can’t start/follow something that’s not complete.
