Rec: Another Kind of Fandom Wank
Title: Another Kind of Fandom Wank By: arionrhod and scribbulus_ink Rated: hard R Pairing: Snape/Lupin Word Count: ~40,000 (story only, not counting extras) Summary: After faking his death and leaving the Wizarding world behind, Severus unwittingly reunites with someone from his past in the most unlikely of places: online in a Blood Bathory fan community.
Two of my favourite Snupin authors, arionrhod and scribbulus_ink, put together an incredible story filled with gleefully wanky Snape (because, really, online and anonymous, of course he'd be a shit disturber) and a wonderful Remus who mods the lj comms Severus has come across.
All in all, a fantastic story from the two writers. The best part though? They set parts of the story online. And then they created lj comms and accounts and a whole fictional series that the story is based around. So it's an HP-crossover with a story that they created that contains wank, fandom, trolling, and everything we love and love to hate about lj and fandom.
Remus stared at his computer screen, frowning as he felt the beginnings of a headache coming on. Moderating a community of fans of a popular cult vampire TV show, most of whom were teenage girls, could be challenging to say the least, what with rampant hormones and even more rampant egos. Remus hoped he managed to be a calming influence when the various kerfluffles arose as they inevitably did. Most of them stemmed from hurt feelings over misunderstandings, which just needed a bit of mediation by someone with a cooler head, and Remus - or Rogue60, as he was known in the comm - had developed a reputation for level-headedness, so much so that a comment from him was often all that was needed to settle things right down.
Sometimes, however, as it unfortunately appeared in this case, someone came along who seemed to determined to escalate wank into an outright flame war.
With a sigh, Remus clicked on the information link for pir8blocker's journal. His instincts from reading the comments told him that this was no teenager, and the profile, as terse as it was, seemed to verify it.
"So, you work with computers, eh?" Remus murmured, sitting back in his chair with a thoughtful frown. The interests listed for the man - and every instinct Remus had told him this was a man - sounded intriguing. "Horror films, vampire films, werewolf films... sounds like a man after my own heart. If you were only gay, you'd be just about perfect."
