Weekly Reading Room reminder

[firlefanzine.livejournal.com]

Finally, this is the last week for a crossover story.

Thurs 21st June - anna060957 - Discovered in a Congo Prison by J.J. Minerva

Certainly there are some (a lot?) Pros fans who are happy to have finished this genre!?
But I enjoyed most of the stories.
I've learned that actually it is not always necessary to know the other fandom, but it's of course helpful.

And come on - Pros and the two men from UNCLE are a very handsome combination! ;-)

For me it's the opposite I'm afraid - it's turned out that it's still necessary for me to know the fandom, otherwise I've much less interest in reading a story, and it feels as if it means less to me... I don't mind cross-overs at all, but they have to be cross-overs where I'm familiar with the other show!

I'll post about the next theme/s etc over the next week or two, so you'll have no need to post reminders until I've organised what's going on and announced the new list etc, just to let you know...

I think for me it's more a question if I would watch a show. For example I could imagine to watch The Chief.
I haven't seen it because of lack of time or maybe it never was shown in Germany. I don't know. But in generally it's my cup of tea. That's why I could enjoy a crossover with it, without knowing more than one or two details.
But I'm absolutely not interested in something like The Sentinel, so I probably wouldn't like 'a Sentinel kind of story' - and I didn't even try the last crossover.

If I don't know much of the other fandom I try to read the fic as I would do with any other fic, with (for me)unknown minor characters.
Precondition is of course that the focus is on Pros and not on the other fandom! ;-)

"...so you'll have no need to post reminders until I've organised what's going on..."
But it's no trouble!
And I think even 'no news' is worth to mention. ;-)

Yes, but I don't know when I'll post yet, so you might post "no news" just before I'm about to post, in which case there will be news! I'd feel more comfortable if you didn't do that, so please stop posting reminders now until there's something to remind about... (ie, until you're reminding people which fic is up that week...)

I've really enjoyed this genre, but I'm with BSL - I need to have at least some knowledge of the other fandom. Having said that, I'm quite keen to further my knowledge of the Sentinel series as the crossovers have rather whetted my appetite.

Just in case RL interferes, I'm posting the final story is this set of Reading Room recs, slightly early ... enjoy!

"as the crossovers have rather whetted my appetite."
That happened to me once with a crossover with The Tomorrow People.

And I really enjoy your rec. Early or not!
Thanks! :-)
