Alex Rider
Dec. 11th, 2009 02:38 amOk, I think it's time to owe up that I've branched out into a second fandom... I mean I've written a few non-HP fics over the past year, but usually as gifts for people who're into them, not because I had persistent plot bunnies of my own.
Now... this has changed :).
I've been enticed into the Alex Rider books by the ever-evil![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
annephoenix two years ago, and devoured them all in no time. There's also a film that isn't too bad.
Being a creature of simple tastes, what attracts me is the fact that here is a writer who tortures his hero even worse than J K Rowling. What's not to like?!? Basically, it's James Bond for teenagers, with wild plots, mad, evil villains, non-stop breathless action, and a lovely bit of angst and conflicted loyalties. Not much brain-fodder, but great fun. If you're at all that way inclined, have a look at the books :).
I wrote my first story not even thinking about the possibility that there might be a fandom... Well, I was wrong, and have been enjoying AR fic ever since (especially since some of my favourite HP writers are participating!). I don't think discovering this new fandom diminishes my overwhelming love for HP, but it's giving me a nice fresh burst of creative energy. And plot bunnies like hell ;).
Anyway, the reason I'm chattering about this is...
spy_fest (here on LJ)!
Signups are still running until December 19, so if you're in any way so inclined, and have encountered the canon, give it a thought :).
