Mad Max Fandom Road

One more time for the people in the back: Thanks so much for participating in the 2016 Mad Max Recathon! And at long last, here are the winners:

For the most submissions: @lurkinghistoric​ with 24 recs! In lieu of a gift card, I donated to the ACLU.

And random.org gave us the second winner: @loirgris! As soon as I get your email address, I’ll send that Amazon gift card to you.

Thank you again for making Fandom Road a success! Sorry for the delay in getting this out - Was a little distracted by the US presidential election. Rev it up for the Immortan Donald, I guess. But hey, Fury Road is out in theaters with the black and white version, so at least we have that going for us.

The rec list is done and the stats have been compiled. Here’s a breakdown of the submissions:

Total: 28 people submitted 133 pieces!

Fanfic: 93

Fanart: 29

Meta: 5

Other: 6

@ v8roadworrier and @fadagaski received the most recs: 6 each! Congrats!

here Description: 

Fanwork title: To Know Without Knowing

Fanwork creator: @fadagaski

Type: fanfic

Warning: serious injuries

Link to fanwork: here

Link to comment: here

Description: a backstory for the Vuvalini woman who clearly has medical knowledge but doesn’t take action to help Furiosa

Why: It’s such a good explanation for an odd detail in the movie. Painful, beautifully characterised, with touches of hope.

Fanwork title: A Sure Thing

Fanwork creator: Owlship (@v8roadworrier)

Type: fanfic

Warning: Rated explicit on AO3. Sexual content, dubious consent, sex work

Link to fanwork: here

Link to comment: here

Description: Needing to trade, Max works a shift in a Wasteland brothel. One of his clients is a wary Furiosa. AU but still canon universe

Why: This does such interesting things with dubious consent, with the characters’ layers of defensiveness, toughness and vulnerability. Layered and gritty and wistful

Fanwork title: Nightmares

Fanwork creator: battle_cat (@fuckyeahisawthat on tumblr)

Type: fanfic

Warning: sexual content

Link to fanwork: here

Link to comment: here

Description: Furiosa has nightmares. Max comforts

Fanwork title: A Monument to a Memory

Fanwork creator: ThisDominionIsMine

Type: fanfic Warning: no archive warnings Link to fanwork: here Link to comment:  Description: 

The past is a shattered thing, strung together by the fragments we can remember. Furiosa’s brain is loaded to capacity: work, life, death, injury. Her arm. Valkyrie’s spine. Toast’s garage. Angharad’s recipes. Motorcycles that need to be repaired. Bills that have to be paid. Capable’s fresh-off-the-internet life hacks and advice. Dag’s latest blind date setup.

For once in her life, Furiosa drinks to forget.

Fanwork title: I can be the answer

Fanwork creator: Felonazcorp

Type: fanfic

Warning: rated explicit on AO3, sexual content, reference to past rape

Link to fanwork: here

Link to comment: here

Description: An early example of Furiosa being the most eaten out character in fandom history

Why: Very sexy and very tender. In this fic, Furiosa’s past sexual experience has been traumatic. This shows Max helping her work past that, with a lovely sense of vulnerability and transformation.
