statsgirl September 23, 2014 Share September 23, 2014 (edited) I need a link. Please and thank you. :-) *you can direct me to the fic thread if you post it* A couple of Felicity and Tommy fic for Nanrad.: Smoak and Merlyn by writewithurheat In the universe right next door by redtoes. I don't know if either of these are the one TanyaKay was referring to but I like them because they have a nice friendship between Felicity and Tommy. While looking for their urls, I went to an archive of our own and put in Felicity Smoak and Tommy Merlyn. 18 pages came up! Many of then are group fic, but it appears that quite a few of us with that Tommy and Felicity could have been friends. Edited September 23, 2014 by statsgirl Link to comment

writersblock51 September 24, 2014 Share September 24, 2014 Saw this linked on Twitter - I really like the blending of text, voiceovers and scenes. And the song is sort of haunting but overall, it's a lovely fanmade video. Oliver & Felicity - Something to Live For (Season 3 spoilers) http://youtu.be/klNA2qOGqsw Link to comment
SleepDeprived September 25, 2014 Share September 25, 2014 I think I remember this song being discussed a while back. Well, someone went and did a thing. And it's a really nicely done video (sorry I don't know how to embed) that stirs the feels... Say You Love Me (Oliver & Felicity). Link to comment
SmallScreenDiva September 26, 2014 Share September 26, 2014 (edited) Speaking of, you could write an entire story based on just this one gif: Here's a pretty sweet (and short) fic based on that sneak peek of Felicity in the restaurant: "Hold Your Breath and Count to Ten" Edited September 26, 2014 by SmallScreenDiva Link to comment
JJ928 September 27, 2014 Share September 27, 2014 I didn't see this video anywhere in the thread, though I'm sure many of you have already seen it. I'm really impressed by the editing, it looks like it Oliver & Felicity are really the ones speaking. While I haven't read the books, and don't have any interest in the movie - I love the remixed Beyonce song, & the video is awesome. 1 Link to comment
TanyaKay September 28, 2014 Share September 28, 2014 Someone recommended this fic on twitter and it has hilarious Diggle and Roy interaction. The writer calls them Riggle. There is a gay arms dealer in love with Diggle and Roy is in Cruella deVelle drag. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10632876/1/Love-Potion-Number-9 Link to comment

statsgirl September 28, 2014 Share September 28, 2014 (edited) Let It Be Me is now completed. (Have I mentioned how much I hate starting a WIP only to find that the author lost interest and left it dangling?) It starts out as a 'drunk and married in Las Vegas' fic but moves into a really good, realistic study of feelings and how we can screw things up even as we're trying to fix them.

Wish me luck! :p I started it without reading the first one and it makes sense to me but I am sure it would be more fun to read it with the right background and context. That gay arms dealer with Diggle and Roy is hilarious. I only wish they have something half as funny in the show. 1 Link to comment
SmallScreenDiva September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 I love the vids from mrseclipse555. The editing is superb, the clips are just right and the choice of songs is pretty spot on. Like this new Olicity one of hers 2 Link to comment

wingster55 October 2, 2014 Share October 2, 2014 (edited) The first one...meh. Felicity's pose and location makes her look like a costumed hero...minus the costume. No that's not it...she looks like Barbara Gordon Edited October 2, 2014 by wingster55 Link to comment
wonderwall October 2, 2014 Share October 2, 2014 (edited) The first one...meh. Felicity's pose and location makes her look like a costumed hero...minus the costume. Hint: She is a hero ;) Not in an "I'll beat the living hell out of you" way, but in a more "You cross me and I will delete your entire existence with a click of a button" kind of way. I love how she's standing at the top. She looks confident (as she is in her abilities), strong (which she is, just not physically. But that doesn't discount her mental and emotional strength), and brave (which she also is because she overcomes her fears in order to save Starling). Just because Felicity doesn't hood up, doesn't not make her a hero. She's just as much a hero Diggle is (which I firmly believe is true) because she puts her life on the line for the city as well. If that's not what a hero is, then I don't know what is. What I also love about the poster is Diggle. I love his pose because it makes him look calm and collected as he usually is in the show. He looks like he won't take any crap from anyone and looks just as strong as Felicity and Oliver. Edited October 2, 2014 by wonderwall 11 Link to comment
wingster55 October 2, 2014 Share October 2, 2014 Not quite what I meant..I mean her on top, on a building is more of a costume's position. She's certainly done some heroic things. 1 Link to comment
wonderwall October 2, 2014 Share October 2, 2014 (edited) Not quite what I meant..I mean her on top, on a building is more of a costume's position. She's certainly done some heroic things. Ah, I see. I like it. Felicity's been put in the back and is incidentally the smallest figure, but it's balanced by her strong pose. Digg is in the middle, and his pose is reflective of his character, and obviously, Oliver is in the front, he's the largest figure, and rightfully so. Basically it just shows me that all three of them are on equal standing regardless of where they are in the poster (which was an issue with the actual poster). Also, I'd go as far as to say that it sort of reflects how Felicity usually stays off of the field (thus she's the furthest one away) and how John and Oliver are usually in the middle of a scuffle. But alas, I'm taking the analysis too far because I doubt the artist meant all of this :p Edited October 2, 2014 by wonderwall 1 Link to comment
writersblock51 October 2, 2014 Share October 2, 2014 I like the green one a lot - especially how Diggle's tie is inexplicably blowing in an invisible wind. hahahahaha Seriously, though, it's a very eye catching poster - love all the different shades of green and the noble but totally in their own element members of Team Arrow. Nicely done! 1 Link to comment

SmallScreenDiva October 2, 2014 Share October 2, 2014 Cool posters. I like the first one, too, even though Digg doesn't look like Digg (kinda looks like the Digg in the Arrow 2.5 comics, the geriatric version). I love the play on the different shades of green. wonderwall, do you know if the artist is on Tumblr? Link to comment

Morrigan2575 October 2, 2014 Share October 2, 2014 I love that Team Arrow Trio Poster...it's very cool, looks like it could be a really cool comic cover. The coloring/shading is very reminiscent of Sorrintino's artwork in the GA Comics and the characters look a bit like some anime art you see. 1 Link to comment

Anyhoo, I'm just getting into reading other people's stuff so I'm like super slowly reading all these things that are like a year old or more and being like, Oh cool, everything I've ever considered has already been done. But I am not that interested in AU stuff so that actually leaves out a lot of the really popular works. Plus...if something's like over 50K I just can't bring myself to start yet. 2 Link to comment

BkWurm1 October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 I love that this fandom is full of one-shots and one-shot collections. And I like the short multi-chaps too. This is actually a strange pet peeve of mine. I've been checking the number of stories written for Arrow over the last year (started at 1.7 and is now at 3.5K) and I know it should be higher on the list but because sooooo many put all their one shots in one post the number of stories actually is massively under represented since that's not what happened in other fandoms. Plus, if I'm looking for a specific kind of story, someone's generic multi-post one shot platform is something that I just keep skipping over. I want people to market each individual story unless there is some kind of through story or concept to connect them. Like I said, a strange pet peeve. 2 Link to comment

I want people to market each individual story unless there is some kind of through story or concept to connect them. Like I said, a strange pet peeve. UGH, I hate this trend too. Especially because AO3 allows you to create collections of individual stories so easily without resorting to this crazy idea. I totally understand that people wanna collect all one-shots they posted on Tumblr at the same place, but making it a multi-chapter story makes me actually not see it in searches many many times, because it's categorized as a WIP until the person decides to start ANOTHER multi-chapter collection of stories -- and my default search is usually for complete works only, because I don't really read WIPs unless I know the author personally and they've told me it's finished.

apinknightmare October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 Yeah, the bookmarking and searching is a nightmare, but I just really like the one-shot/drabble trend because I can read a nice little story without having to worry about the author abandoning it halfway through. I mean, fanfic authors write for free and I get that life gets in the way, but I really hate getting hooked on something and never getting any resolution. I could just read completed stories only I guess, but I don't really have that kind of patience! 1 Link to comment
writersblock51 October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 I have that pet peeve as well. I keep hoping that AO3 or FF come up with a way to search within those, somehow, or can count the number of One-Shots in a collection. I haven't forwarded that to anyone at either AO3 of FF, though - I wonder if enough people inquired about it, something could be done to make it a bit easier to search and account. Link to comment
dtissagirl October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 (edited) Hmmm. I know the sys-admin for AO3, I could probably get in touch with them. But the problem, I think, is a multi-chapter fic is not a collection, or a series, for the AO3 platform, so it's a matter of the authors not using it properly. Each one-shot should be posted as a separate fic and labeled as part of a series/collection. I have no idea if this is happening in other fandoms as well? If it is, it might be that AO3 will have to change entry parameters for this kind of one-shot collection. Edited October 3, 2014 by dancingnancy Link to comment

Yeah, sorry about that. I actually have the last 2 chapters mostly finished, but then I got frustrated with the show in season 2B and quit watching for a while. And I might have been a little burned out on fanfiction in general because I took a break from writing before summer and just never got back to it. I'm not busy this week though, so I'll take a look and see if I can finish it up before Halloween. :) 6 Link to comment
