Everyone has that one fanwork....

So, one of my most popular posts on tumblr is a lament about that one fic that we all have that we wish more people had read, the one that we’re proud of that just didn’t get it’s fair due.

(I’d link the tumblr post but tumblr has still got my blog flagged as adult and it doesn’t show up in search results: have I mentioned how bitter I am about that?)

Anyway, it got me thinking that maybe DW would be a good place to expand on that post and ask people to share the fic (or art, or any other kind of fanwork) that fills this space in their heart. Call it a meme and post it to your own blog or just share it in the comments below; whatever! All I know is that those works that we poured our heart and soul into deserve the chance to find a wider audience!

Mine is It Can’t Rain All The Time which is a fusion between Stargate Atlantis and Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series with John in the role of the second incarnation of Dream and Rodney as the mortal he falls in love with.

I mean, I don’t know if it’s super confusing to anyone who doesn’t know Sandman (although the few do,Kent’s have suggested not) but I have this special place in my heart for this fic and I wish more people had read it. It has 520 hits at this particular time and date and I think about 100 of them are mine from rereading it!

So, what’s your “I wish this had reached a wider audience” fic?

Lol, I can see why caveman AU might put people off but I’ve read a really awesome SGA one so I’m game!

And as for How John became Dream. It’s complicated to explain if you haven’t read the comics but in them there’s a woman who becomes pregnant while in the Dreaming world and the baby she gives birth to is kind of Dream’s kid? He visits her after the baby is born, names him Daniel and Daniel becomes the new Dream when the first one dies. So, I kind of made John Daniel. It made sense to me!

Ohhhh, that clears up the Daniel thing, too! I figured that bit was a Sandman reference I didn't get. :)

But wait! Dream isn't immortal!? Does John's happy ending with post-mortal Rodney have a time limit??

[respoftw]

If I recall, none of them are truly immortal. When the universe ends, the endless will leave too but there were super extenuating circumstances that are waaaaay too complicated to go into for the first Dream to die so I think John and Rodney have millennia together to look forward to :)

Ok, good. :D That's a relief! Thanks!
