and you want to know what the fan community is like?

Awesome! Welcome! There's a ton of awesome fic and art in the tag!

@theoldguard-recs collects fic recs

and here are some links to reclists

here's one

and here's another one

and this one's great too

as is this one

I'm not really good at describing or reccing art (ironic since I wrote a very long joe x nicky fic about art history) but I really love @polarcell's art.

Anyway as you peruse you'll probably see that a lot of people poured a lot of love, time and research into fanworks in this fandom and many see it as a place to discuss history, art, religion, race and interracial relationships, and really everything, which is the joy of fanworks.

I hope you find some cool stuff and create some more cool stuff and have an all around great time.

while you're looking, you'll probably find posts from debates that happened circa four years ago about topics like race and religion. they will not all be good posts (I am explicitly including my own in that, I know I got pretty salty sometimes). Some of it is the cyclical stuff that courses through every fandom with a big m/m pairing, some of it is unique to TOG because there is a canon interracial queer couple.
