Small Fandom Primer: Diplomatic Immunity

I keep meaning to do these for shows I love, but I finally got around to finishing this one, so whatever. Basically: Diplomatic Immunity is awesome and sweet and adorable and hilarious, and you should watch it, HERE'S WHY.

( Diplomatic Immunity )

Fanworks for the show are (sadly) rare. I haven't been able to find any fic (HINT: YOU SHOULD ALL WATCH THE SHOW AND THEN WRITE AWESOME FIC ABOUT IT), but I do have a couple of multimedia recs:

[vid] Iko Iko by mresundance. Whether or not you have watched, or are considering watching, the show, you should definitely check out this vid, because it's awesome and hilarious and basically everything I love about the show.

[art] Diplomatic Immunity by talumin. Malepe! I mean, the whole picture is adorable, but Malepe is my favourite bit. He likes the ladies.

You can also find out more about the show via the official website.


... And that's pretty much it. Seriously, you should watch the show - there are only thirteen episodes, just over twenty minutes each, and it's one of my favourite sitcoms ever, so. Give it a shot - you know you want to.

Dear Yuletide Author

Yay, you're writing me a fic! This is a thing I love, and I'm already excited to read it. If you already have an awesome idea you're totally excited to write, feel free to go ahead and do just that - I love every one of these fandoms, so I'm sure to enjoy anything you could possibly write, especially if you love it, too. But in case you're still looking for that perfect idea, these are just a few of the things I love in fic, and in the fandoms I requested, which may give you some idea of what would make me particularly happy.

In general, I love fun, happy fic, and am not so much into angst. But if you want to write angst, that's okay, too! I love banter, unresolved (and resolved) sexual tension, romantic comedy, action/adventure, wacky hijinks, humour, crack, and ridiculous AUs. I love apocafic, angsty or otherwise (but especially otherwise). I love first times, and secret relationships, and casual hookups, and ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, and rekindling old relationships. I love people being in love without having to say it; and people who are obviously in love but maybe don't realise it; and ridiculously overblown romantic gestures where one person completely embarrasses themselves, because that's kind of the point of the grand gesture; and tiny, unnoticeable gestures that mean a whole lot more than they seem to. The stuff I don't love pretty much boils down to making the characters I love unhappy for no good reason. And character bashing, even of characters I don't like. I'm happy to read any rating, and smut is welcome but absolutely not necessary.
