I've been binging on Critical Role for the last week or so.

It's kind of interesting. My fandoms and my favorite shows tend to be pretty disconnected. I find fandoms first, and then maybe if I'm in the fandom for long enough I'll get around to watching the source material. When I watch a show first, I usually don't feel much of an urge to check out fanworks.

This time though I've been looking for fanfic....

And it's pretty grim.

The one saving grace is that the fandom is small enough that old stuff hasn't been swamped by new stuff. So I keep coming across posts and author's notes written from before [BIG SPOILER], and I'm like... "oh no, oh honey, oh ...."

CR fandom is 99% art-based, because the cast so lovingly curates art galleries and just the nature of the show doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room, especially right now in Mighty Nein where nobody knows what the fuck is going on. XD There’s some slightly less dire post-Vecna Vox Machina stuff, but nnnnnot much.

I hope this doesn't sound sarcastic, because I'm honestly just curious! What interests you about fandoms for things you haven't watched? I know I would find it way too hard to get into a fandom for something I'm unfamiliar with. Do you just prioritize fanfiction? I know for me, it's generally that I like the canon, so I get into the fandom.

That is a great fandom icon xD

Yeah, CR doesn't have a lot of great fic. (Also I'm annoyed that season 1 and 2 share the same AO3 tag.) I did find some that I enjoyed though, mostly shorter stories - what are you interested in?

I might have some stories bookmarked, I'll take a look, but for now you could check out the stories by [archiveofourown.org profile] sabinelagrande. I'm particularly fond of The Traveler Is My Co-Parent.

(I've seen this icon somewhere before and I heard the quote is a reference to a legendary badfic, I have to admit I'm almost kinda curious ^^ )
