these tornadoes

In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you think would make a good intro into XYZ fandom. Rec a fandom overview, a introductory picspam, stories that define and shape the fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. If at all possible, try to pick a smaller or rarer fandom, one that maybe doesn't have the following you feel it should. Small fandoms need love, too, right?

This is quite a difficult day. I can't introduce people to anything more than my ships, really. I have Sam/Dean classics, I have H/D classics...but what else? But I decided to bend the rules again today :P I'm going to introduce you to classics in my ships, so maybe I can at least convert you to that.

It asked for smaller fandoms, but I'm not really a member of any. I'm going to go with Supernatural, Sam/Dean and some Gen and Harry/Draco because it's not dead, but quiet. A fandom where fics are slowly being lost - deleted by the writers, lost to server failure, anything - deserves a bit more love. It was actually really quite sad making this list because I've been shipping Harry/Draco for about five years and so many of my great loves have gone.
