Too Many Fandoms To Count

Look, I just... I really do have a bad feeling about today. Tim Bradford listening to his feelings? It's almost spiritual. Oh, God forbid.

I wanted to make a post with my fav SC of the trailer cause, this is like too much, I’ve been crying for the past half an hour, cause this is such a beautiful thing to share with us!

Oscar and Elvira are very private people and when back in the day they talked about this documentary I really thought it never see the light of day.

For context of those who don't know, when elvira got pregnant of their first son, she filmed everything around it, it was a time full of emotions for their family. Oscar's mom was diagnosed with cancer and they had to take care of her, they said goodbye to her a month before Elvira gave birth to their first son Eugene. Oscar discovered he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Elvira and got married with a handful of people as witnesses on his rooftop.

And all of this was happening while he prepared for a very long run of Hamlet on broadway, a play about grief and charged with emotions.

‘I wish there was more media that normalized polyamory’ -you should watch the wheel of time

‘I wish there were more focus on women and characters of color in fantasy and sci fi and genre fiction’ -you should watch the wheel of time

‘I want more shows that put a lot of emphasis on platonic relationships and not just romances’ -you should watch the wheel of time

‘I wish there were more fantasy shows that didn’t objectify sexual violence against women’ -you should watch the wheel of time

'In her hand was a signet ring, heavy gold and worn with age, almost large enough for both her thumbs to fit through. On it, a crane flew above a lance and crown, all carefully wrought in detail. Her breath caught. The ring of Malkieri kings. Forgetting to glare, she lifted her face. “I cannot take this, Lan.” He shrugged in an offhand way. “It is nothing. Old, and useless, now. But there are those who would know it when they saw it. Show that, and you will have guestright, and help if you need it, from any lord in the Borderlands. Show it to a Warder, and he will give aid, or carry a message to me. Send it to me, or a message marked with it, and I will come to you, without delay and without fail. This I swear.”' - Chapter 8 of The Great Hunt

Tim's dorky hand gestures

Thank you, Anon! I appreciate your kindness as well as the question.

I will admit that I don’t read as much now that I’ve started writing. But here are a few of my favorites:

1- @makeitastrength adina_rachelle

She’s my absolute favorite. It was because of her writing that I started reading fanfiction. Prior to ever reading any fanfiction, I made an incorrect and ignorant assumption that fanfiction would be poor quality, and her work is anything but. She particularly loves to write the missing scenes/in between moments. Her grammar is perfect. She writes very in character scenes that you can totally see play out in your mind.

2- @girlintotv

She’s written a lot of great AU. Her plot lines are well planned out and intricate. Her descriptions are beautiful. “Let’s Get Together” she recently finished, and it’s soooo much better than Parent Trap movies.

3- @ellitheria

She would be considered the queen of the Chenford fanfiction kingdom. She needs no further introduction.

4- MeadowWard

It was her work that convinced me to start reading AU. This is my absolute favorite story of hers.

5- TheChandom

They have several good stories and a series of in between moments that are great.

6- moonycpd

Their “Darling, Let’s Run” is one of my favorite AU stories.

7- PiperElizabeth

She has a few AUs that are great. “Someday” is my favorite of hers.

8- wisedgirl

“After The Tone” is one I’ve read at least three times. So good!

9- @centralperkchenford naimsagram

She has a CONSTANT flow of stories that I can barely keep up with to feed the fandom.

10- ginger_dame

She did a long series of in between moments that was amazing.

11- murphalo

“Plus One” is hilarious and a great read.

12- lucychens

“Christmas With The Bradfords” is my favorite.

14 - @silverskull

You can *feel* what they write. Amazing. Very poetic and verbose.

15 - @thisnightissparkling089

I’ve recently started reading her works. She has a story she’s recently started about infertility that’s very heartfelt. You can really feel the emotions of the characters.

16 - @queseraone

Several great stories to choose from.

17 - @wanna-be-bold

“With This Ring” is a great one, but they have several great stories.

18 - @chenfordspiral

I’m super behind on my reading on this one, but her “Little Bit of Love” is amazing.

19 - Cleromanticon

They have a story called “Omne Malum ab Homine” that is like watching an intense The Rookie movie. I hope they come back to finish it soon.

20 - breebaqbooks

“Where Our Hearts Meet” is an amazing soulmate AU. I was skeptical about soulmate AUs until I read this. So good!

Well, Anon, that was probably more than you wanted from your simple question. But if you read my stories, you know I’m a bit long-winded. 😬🤫 So perhaps this is what you expected all along. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for question. Perhaps it will help someone else find a new story or writer they love. This list is definitely not complete. There are a lot of other writers out there that are great.
