Oh, I look at it now and then, but I don't expect to find anything good.<br /><br />I did read a bunch of <i>Yotsuba&!</i> fic a while back. Some of it was OK.<br /><br />Lately, though, I discovered a whole heap of Narnia fic at AO3, much of it recent. Years ago, I went looking for Narnia fic, and there wasn't much. Thanks to the movie fandom, AO3, and fic exchanges, there's now a fair bit. And some of it is all right.<br /><br />One thing I am bemused by is that some people want to cross over Narnia with Middle-Earth and/or elves. Elves? In Narnia? Narnia has wiggles, humanoid stars, giants, and dwarves with one or two legs, but I don't recall elves, and I'm not sure they belong. And of course Middle-Earth is ostensibly the ancient past of elves and gnomes in a world that may be our own, while Narnia is a different reality accessed by cross-world travel in the recent past, so it feels off to me.<br /><br />It shouldn't, I suppose.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=philippos42&ditemid=117340" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://philippos42.dreamwidth.org/117340.html tolkien fanfic narnia public 0
