Supernatural: Sam and Dean Winchestgopal by

Dragon Age Origins: The Pile by

tahara_l and

Shifted here instead of the userinfo to make the comm look less scary. It's not like we get a lot of rulebreakers and I think they mostly go without saying.

Feel free to use this post to make any suggestions/complaints etc about the comm.
( The first rule of fan_comics is...you must talk about fancomics )

I am TOTALLY out of it unwell today, but this was too odd and cool not to share.

Alan Moore as schoolgirl doujinshi by Ryusuke Hamamoto. Only one page and no dialogue.

This computer game is my new obsession, and a fairly high proportion of it's fanart is fancomics which warms the cockles of my heart.

First, some recs:

Title:Dragon Age Will Break Your Heart by nernie
Description: One-shot humour about romance with Alistair. Mild vague spoilers, but personally I would rather have been warned (as it was the game broke my heart too).

Probably the most prolific and talented fancommicer (fancomic artist?) is Aimo, who was actually asked to draw an official fancomic by Bioware. She mostly does cute Aeducan/Alistair stuff, but I think my favourite is Siblings, a 4-page wordless gen comic about the Aeducans (dwarf noble family) set shortly before the game begins.

And now my own comics:

Title: Various Attempts at Romance in Dragon Age: Origins
Description: Many different pairings with three different origin stories and how they all went horribly wrong. Humour, PG maybe? First two not spoilery.

Title: Alternate ending to Dragon Age
Description: Spoilery fix to my failed Brosca/Alistair romance. Humour, G.

Title: The most popular girl in the tower
Description: Templars aren't allowed to date mages + Dagna isn't a mage = this comic :) Humour, G.

(Since there's always the chance it'll be rejected from

fancomiccentral)

Rating: G
Found At: Gaang Jr. archive wiki

Description: (from the website) Gaang Jr. is a fan-made expanded universe for Avatar: The Last Airbender, taking place about twenty years after the TV show. Five kids, children of the original Gaang, ran away from home and now travel the world, sailing the high seas in search of ADVENTURE! (Canon pairings, plus OCs and subtextual Azula/Ty Lee)

Comments: Since they're by various artists the quality of these varies pretty dramatically, but a lot of them are pretty cute. In particular Mayeko has some great comics.

I think this is a very cool idea.

I was going to post this to

fancomiccentral then realised it's already been posted and somehow I missed it.

Anyway:
Girls Next Door by Pika-la-Cynique, PG, crossover between Labyrinth, Phantom of the Opera and several other fandoms

A very meta-humourish fancomic about Sarah from Labyrinth and Cristine from Phantom of the Opera being roommates and trying to avoid their respective stalkery would-be-boyfriends.

Normally I am pretty squicked by Sarah/Jareth or any "stalking evil guys are sexy and awesome" plot, but this is so very meta about the fact that they're evil-yet-sexy, not to mention fond of skewering anyone's attempts to be woobieish that I liked it anyway. The fact that it's really funny and well drawn helped.

It's a spin-off of another fancomic Roomates which is the same setting but focusing on the boys, but I didn't like it as much and you can understand Girls Next Door without it.

Title: Good fourth walls make good neighbors
Artist:

counteragent
Fandom: fandom, Supernatural
Rating: Gen, PG-13

I thought this was worth recording since it showed up on

metafandom's delicious account (and thus will be on the next post) as meta, which is rare for fanworks. One could argue that being a comic ABOUT fanfic rather a comic which IS fanfic it's off topic for this comm but as the mod I'm going to let it slide :)

It doesn't speak to my experience since I don't like SPN, don't write anything very controversial, and have a husband who would at worst spork my hypothetical porn for implausibility. But I think it captures the experience of fans who do have to worry about this sort of thing pretty well, and I like the innovative usage of the fancomic medium for meta.

I've been pondering places to post fancomics after experimenting a bit with An Archive of Their Own and DeviantArt.

So: I'd say there are three types of fancomics. One off single pages/panels, multi-page stories, and ongoing webcomics.

All three need some sort of image hosting and some way for other fans to find them (assuming you want that) The latter two also need some way to navigate between the pages of the comic.

I've spent the morning looking through the Avatar:The Last Airbender fanart on DeviantArt and found quite a few cool fancomics. And then I discovered Avatar Fancomics and Avatar Comics, which have a HUGE collection of comics!

My favourite so far is Finale Thoughts by rufftoon. She has a whole bunch of other cool comics, Why Avatar Episodes are Late is very cute.

Booster Freak has over eighty gag strips, I think Gagstrip 67 is my favourite non-spoilery one.

Two other cute short comics are Twilight of the Avatar by cd007and The Ember Island Players by dailan.

There's also a LOT of more or less good natured shipping comics, but I'm not poking that with a stick :)

Title: Platoon Fancomic
Author: Me
Rating: Pg-13
Warnings: Slash (Elias/Chris), harsh language, spoilers.
Summary: Taking place during the movie, it details the growing relationship between Elias and Chris.
Incomplete

If this isn't allowed, being as the comic's only just started, please tell me. :)

I come with an interesting link to a webcomic review site called Webcomic Overlook. There's only a couple of reviews (and mini-reviews) for some fancomics and while I don't always share the blog owner's opinions on some of these, I think it's always nice to look at things from different angles. So, some of you might enjoy reading these reviews, fancomic related or not.

I keep finding them and adding them to my delicious account, thought I should chuck them up here. Many of these are from

fancomiccentral.

Mokepon The amusing story of a cynical teenager trying very hard not to make friends or learn important life lessons in the world of Pokemon.
Encyclopedia of Weirdness: A Weekly Supernatural Fan Comic These are great little one off comics.
cap_ironman A bunch of Captain America/Iron Man fancomics. Not really my thing but it's nice to see a fandom embrace the medium.
Batman and sons (also the_dark_cat) Cute fanart and fancomics about batman and his many adorable young sons (don't ask me how it relates to canon!)
Showdown: HP vs. Twilight Amusing one-shot, made before Twilight bashing got quite so old.

Following on from my previous post, the good non-Harry Potter comics I found on delicious. There's more on my delicious account. Also I don't read bandslash but there seems to be a lot of it out there if you're interested.

Bertie Wooster Takes a Stand Jeeves/Wooster: I looked at this half an hour ago on a different computer and it was fine, and now I'm getting malware warnings?! But if you're willing to risk it, it's fun and feels very much like the books (but with boykissing :))
Star Trek fanart: Bones Cute single panel set after the latest film (XI)
Fake News/Doctor Who: Truthiness And Relative Dimensions In Space by reseda_ptah John Stewart/Stephen Colbert eventually. Ok so this is mostly fic with the odd comic scattered through it here and there, but I really liked it so I'm linking it anyway :)

Found via comics+fanart on delicious. The first two are kind of dark(*), the rest very cheery :)

Journey to the Place of Ghosts written by Jay Wright, turned into HP fanart by winkout: A strange lyrical journey as Draco uses a time-tuner to try and undo a future where Voldemort wins
The death of Narcissa Black by winkout, NSFW for non-sexual nudity and adult themes: This is gorgeous, in haunting watercolours. Gives Nacissa's POV from before she married Lucius without sugar coating her.
Christmas Orange Curse by heathen_arcade, PG: This is rather silly post-epilogue Harry/Draco but something about it appealed to me.
Fanart making fun of fanon A collection of fanart and fancomics making fun of HP fanon.
Harry Potter is GULLIBLE by Nilessa: Short and amusing Draco&Harry.
House Sparkleypoo by Pirate Monkey: A place for all the Mary Sues who keep joining Hogwarts. She has a bunch of other cute fancomics.

x-posted to

hpcomics.

(*)And I didn't realise they were both by

winkout until just now!

This Is Where We'll End It, by

zoetrope. Due South, Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski.

I must shamefacedly admit I haven't actually read this, since I don't like photocomics or Due South fic. But

thefourthvine recced it, so it must be good for what it is, is what I say.

Two awesome comics.

First, via

fancomiccentral:

Wishes: A Goblin Tale a pretty and engaging Labyrinth WIP by HollyBel. I usually react very strongly against Sarah/Jared and it hasn't horribly squicked me so far which is a good sign :)

G-rated Watchmen by EnvySkort. Because comics should be suitable for children! Very amusing :)

Second, via trouble: Lovelace and Babbage a set of great historical comics by Sydney Padua about the wacky adventures of the world's first computer programmers.

Concerned" The Half-life and Death of Gordon Frohman by Christopher C. Livingston is a hilarious parody of Half-Life 2 made in-game. I haven't played the game (though I have picked a bit by osmosis from having out with too many gamers) and still really enjoyed it.

Gordon's Glasses by Caroline Parkinson. Short, slight, sweet Gordon/Alyx story which would probably appeal to me more if I'd seen more of the game.
