Back to the fandom

Hello everyone!

I can't believe that after like... 12 years from my registration I still remember my username and password
I've been a fan of Gatchaman since the eighties, when I first watched the series. Then my interest revamped around 2003, after reading the comics, and back then I fairly checked the Yahoo Mailing List.
I registered here but never used my account. I just read tons of fan-fictions!
Few weeks ago I had a chance to watch some episodes of Infini-T Force and... oops! I got hooked again!
I suppose I'll remain a fan for the rest of my life...

Few info about me: I'm Italian, living in the north of the country. The fist Gatchaman series broadcast here was the dubbed american version, with the cuts and 7-Zark-7. Even back then, I hated it...

My favorite birdie is the Swan, and then Joe, but I have also so much love for poor Berg Katze and his minions. Poor dears, always beaten up

Well, hello! I'm glad you've decided to join, and I'm looking forward to knowing what you think about things.

Welcome. Glad you've decided to join in the fun.

If you like fanfic, there's a fair amount to be had here.

There's a lot over at the Gatchfanfic.com website, with the caveat that they've been having difficulties with DNS hijacking, which can randomly turn the site into a plain blue page full of advertising links that have nothing to do with Gatchaman or fanfic (I wouldn't click on any of them in case of malware.)

There's more and more going up at An Archive of Our Own as well.

Once the gift exchange is complete, you'll see a whole lot of stories posted here, a veritable festive feast of fanfic.

Enjoy.

Well, you could always check out the Shameless self-promotion thread.

Ebonyswanne's stuff is popular - she's quite the prolific writer so you won't get run out of things to read in a hurry and I believe she's merging Gatch into BotP by making BotP take place in the same universe, just quite some time after the Gatch timeline, a nice device.

Katblu42 is just starting out with her stories but the quality so far is very high.

Madilayn is writing a BotP series which I'm enjoying thus far.

IF you can get onto Gatchfanfic (try clearing your cookies for the site, it might help) then Jane Lebak and Naa-Dei Nikoi are both excellent writers of exceptional quality. Also recommended are Terri-Anne Smith, Becky Rock, Cricket, Nish... too many to mention. I just hope they can get their DNS issues sorted out.

And if you like a bit of sci-fi adventure with a dash of humour and copious footnotes, there's my stuff. Be warned: Zark is in it, but I've tried to throttle him back to where he ought to be, unless I'm playing him for laughs.

Thank you so much for the suggestions!
I think I already read something from Jane Lebak and Madilayn but, eh, too many years have passed. I need to check and maybe to read everything again (oh oh oh, not that I would mind... :party2

I'll get a look at yours too! Humor is also as good as sex in the stories I like to read

What I absolutely do not like is pure romance. Romance is good if it's part of the mix, but I suppose I'm too old to read verbose fictions of endless musings where in the end Ken proposes to Jun... or Joe to Ken, Joe to Jun, Jun to Zoltar or whatever combination you might think to....

I left out the link to my own series!

A professional artist from Deviant art did them for Gatchamania members about 7 years ago. He did 2 of mine but I liked the one without the helmet more. He has a wallpaper for them in Deviant. I'll look up his name again.
