What Are You Writing When You Aren't Reading Me? (Recommend Associated Fanworks)

[merlinscribe]

I love and encourage fanfic. I was delighted when the denizens of DeviantArt began drawing (and sometimes writing) the World of Obsidian, and lately, fics have been showing up at Archive of Our Own as well.

I love some of the fiction that take place in this world, but I personally don`t care for Deviant Art. Mostly because I can`t search for anything based on the fandom. If any one knows if I can do that, I would appreciate it. It is probably easy, I just don`t know how.

It's difficult, because it depends on how creators tag the fandom. I would think searching DA by character name ought to turn up some works. For example, a search on "ANCALADAR" from the home page turns up things like this:

I know that fallenidol_453 did not want to see their work archived on sites other than AO3, so I am hoping that merely posting a rec does not violate their wishes. They have written a number of snippets set in the World of Obsidian, and that fills me with glee. Check them out!

One day I got a hankering to write a fanfic for one of the unnamed slaves of the Endarkened and look what happened: a whole series of them.

Hello! This is fallenidol_453 from AO3. I do not have a Dreamwidth account, so pardon the anonymous comment!

Posting a recommendation is okay, I just do not want the text of my work posted on other websites other than my own social media platforms.

That said, a belated thank you for the recommendation!
