Fanfiction Lover and Lurker
63K posts
Hi my name is Tamsin and I am a PhD student at the University of Sheffield (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/smi/research/tamsin-boswell). Fanfiction has long been one of my favourite places to inhabit within the online world and this love has influenced my research interests. Most notably my own place as a lurker /reader within the A03 spheres has prompted my current exploration into this often forgetten group of readers. For more information please see my pinned post below

I should be able to both read for 8hrs a night and sleep for 8hrs a night. That I cannot is very rude and, frankly, poor design.

kevin’s been locked in the vents of nora’s mind watching her give neil and jean their own series and screaming MOOOM ITS MY TURN ON THE NARRATOR
nora announcing kevin’s duology was her saying ‘for fuck’s sake now kevin wants to talk to you’ like she’s been on a long phone call but her kids keep stealing the phone to talk to the person on the other end.

You know those posts about one of Bruce’s kids getting kidnapped and him having no idea which kid they have based on the vague descriptions he’s given? Well now I can’t only imagine Bruce getting the dreaded call and immediately pulling out a guess who board filled entirely with his kids. Like
kidnapper: we have one of your children
Bruce: I have so many of those you need to be more specific
kidnapper: the loud and annoying one
Bruce, flipping down Cass and Duke: that does not help as much as you think it does
kidnapper: well he has black hair?
Bruce, flips down Steph: keep going
kidnapper: uhhhh? He’s short?
Bruce, flips down Dick and Jason leaving Tim and Damian: more specific
kidnapper: he’s been condescending and judgmental since we got him
Bruce: yeah they both tend to do that
kidnapper: he keeps throwing around words I don’t understand
Bruce, realizing that Damian and Tim are significantly more similar than he thought: uhh more specific?
kidnapper: more?? look just wore us the mon— WHERE’D HE HIDE A KATANA???
Bruce: ah you have Damian

An funny fic where everyone in Columbia house is sick except for Andrew who has the strongest immune system so he takes care of everyone while having the worst bedside manner cuz Aaron's supposed to be the doctor not him
And sick Neil and sick Aaron are actually civil and actually share a blanket on the couch cuz when they were younger they didn't really have pampering mothers nursing them to health so cuddles are nice even if it is with the enemy/rival to Andrew's attention (which gets to be doubled cuz now Andrew is tending to them a little bit more than Nicky or Kevin). So Andrew has to deal with stupid sick Neil and sick Aaron passing their colds back n forth to each other cuz they didn't isolate in their own sick corners like Nicky and Kevin did
And when they're finally all healthy Aaron demands Nicky delete every single picture of Neil and Aaron taking sick naps together while Neil attempts to gaslight everyone that they never hogged the couch together as sick buddies. (Andrew gets a wallet sized photo of Neil and Aaron leaning against each other, heads knocked together, drooling cuz these are his top 2 people)

Another favorite scene.
One of the first instances of Andrew choosing Neil over Kevin. Not only that but doing it publicly. He didn’t even need to say it.
It was so obvious that bets closed right in front of them then and there.
And our favorite demi-sexual dumbass just breezes right over it. Doesn't even notice.
What an icon.

The one where the team realizes Robin is in fact a real boy
For some reason, the other members of the young justice team never seem to realize that Robin actually has a life outside the vigilante gig. He mostly only ever talks about training in the batcave, new gadgets he’s working on, complaining about Gotham rogues. They sort of forget that there’s a real kid behind the mask.
So it’s kind of like a bucket of water being dumped over their heads when they witness him actually acting like a normal kid.
“You have a test tomorrow,” they hear Batman say, followed immediately by a groan from Robin. “It’s time to go home.”
“Ten more minutes!”
“Not ten more minutes,” Batman says. “Now. Dinner, study, then bed.”
“Can’t I just skip tomorrow?”
“Absolutely not. School is important.”
“Says the drop out.”
“That’s not the same and you know it!” Batman says quickly. “Keep stalling, and your PlayStation gets locked up all weekend.”
“Fine,” Robin whines, stomping towards the zeta tubes.
And the entire Mount Justice is quiet after they leave, the team not quite sure what they just saw.
“Wait,” Wally stutters, his fingers pointing between where Robin and Batman just were and the zeta tubes they disappeared into. “Does that mean - Robin goes to school?”
“I assumed he was like, homeschooled. Or, like,” Artemis stumbles over the words, not quite sure how to explain her thoughts.
“I thought he was a ninja or something,” Conner says.
Kaldur just sort of shakes his head at all of them. He’s apparently the only one who didn’t think their youngest team member was some sort of robot or cryptid. Maybe because the first time he met Robin, he’d been whining to Batman about how his weeknight crime fighting curfew should be extended to 3am, and Batman actually laughed and told him “nice try, but no way.”

need Jeremy finding out about Jean’s crush. need Jeremy to sputter as he stares at Jean who refuses to return his gaze. need Jeremy to know that all his jealousy aside, he’s been years ahead of anyone else Jean has looked at.
