Pimping time!

[marycrawford]

elke_tanzer has been watching Hercules: the Legendary Journeys, yay! I love it when my fandom shows up on my friendslist in unexpected places.

There's an interesting discussion going on in the comments, touching on such things as Atalanta/Xena slash (does it exist?), Hercules as a Disney princess, the shirtless clause in Kevin Sorbo's contract, and questions like: which episodes are the good ones? Which are cheesy? Where are the fic archives?

I'm encouraging every H:tLJ on my flist to go pimp their favorite pairings/sites/episodes. New people! Whee! *g*

Elke also asked: "Where are the good Herc/Iolaus communities on LJ?" And of course, there aren't any. It got me thinking: why not? Would you be interested? Or would it be a place where we'd just crosspost everything Herc-related from our own journals, because we were posting it there anyway? That, we don't need. But I like the idea of having something a bit more visible than just a bunch of people with 'Iolaus' in their interests, and of having a place set aside for discussion of Hercules/Iolaus gen and slash; it could also be a place to collect links and recommendations, instead of spreading them out across various journals. What do you think?

Don't forget herc_xena100, a drabble community that covers any and all corners of the fandom. There's a weekly challenge, which can be fun.

And for new fans who go searching by LJ interests, and for more seasoned fans who've been in the fandoms for a while, such communities can bring a type of connectedness that I haven't found anywhere else.

Ah, that's what I thought, but I'm glad to have it confirmed.

Thanks for sending knowledgeable Herc fans over to my LJ, by the way!

You're very welcome. I love the enthusiasm and information-gathering power you bring, and I hope more will follow. :-)
