Clock Tower Theater: Fanfic, Fan Music Videos and Art

[SmallScreenDiva]

At this point, just about every person in the fandom is more invested in Oliver's sex life than Oliver himself. But then again, that man needs help.

 

Some fandom writers on Tumblr started "The fuckening fic drive," which is essentially a collection of sexy, smutty (smexy?) Olicity fics to get ready for, well, when the "fuckening" happens (which I don't think is happening this season, but if it does, I AM READY!). They've got some pretty good authors in the group, like Machawicket and Dettiot.

Holy fuck (no pun intended) now that's my kind of fic collection!

Another great Oliver & Felicity FanVid by M-Art Revenge. I like her editing of clips. Plus she used to do good humor videos, you know when there was humor on the show and not just angst.

 

 

 

Also just released a great multi-Arrow couple one as well, which is really nice to. Makes me miss Tommy & Sara! Why are the writers so focused on angst. This video proves happiness is a viable alternative. Can next seasons theme be happiness?

Oliver & Felicity Somewhere Only We Know

[Angel12d]

I can't remember if this has been posted or not but it's an AU s3 fic where Sara is still alive but Oliver still told Felicity he couldn't be with her. 9 chapters so far but updates regularly. It's really good. Check it out:

 

Actions Speak Louder Than Words (and other true sayings) by So_Caffeinated.  

[AyChihuahua]

Actions Speak Louder Than Words is great.  She's an excellent writer in general, has a great storyline, and is writing Felicity more in-character right now than the actual Arrow writers.

Just a note - given the promo for the next episode, let's go ahead and use spoiler tags for any content created from it for the next two weeks. There are some folks who do prefer not being spoiled!

Thanks, all!

Slightly spoilery and hilarious.

And incidentally does anyone know where I could find decent or great quality screencaps for the recent promo? I feel my fan art demon emerging but I don't want to venture into any super spoilery areas.

Another Lord Mesa treasure.

 

[kismet]

Good Fan Video of a lot of what has led up to & including 318.... It has a lot of TA's greatest hits as well as a few cameos from Moira & Tommy. It was well done. Set to "knocking on heaven's door".

 

[tv echo]

I've watched some Oliver & Felicity fan vids that use the song, "A Thousand Years" (which I love).  If Oliver becomes the new Ra's, with access to the Lazarus Pit, then I guess that song will take on new meaning:

 

"I have died every day
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more"

 

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Aaaaand I just realized

they've got Felicity wearing an olive green jacket, and it's cracking me up. Seriously, are we being punked? Is that clip an April Fool's gag? The whole thing's a(n awesome) fanfic come to life.

And her nails are red! I'm legit laughing out loud. (With delight.)

"Suicidal Tendencies" photo-recap

and

Super brief "Public Enemy" photo-recap

[Luckylyn]

I'll Make Sure To Say I Love You When You're Not Listening - Oliver has had to face some hard truths in the week since the Count kidnapped Felicity, and his subsequent death. The man had been a deranged drug lord, but he'd also opened Oliver's eyes to a few things; namely, to the truth of what he's willing to do to keep Felicity in his life. Tag to 2x07.

 

The Reluctant Queen - Oliver Queen's life is irrevocably changed the day Felicity Smoak sets foot in his office. And it has surprisingly little to do with the fact that the first time they meet, she's blackmailing him into a marriage. The Bratva didn't prepare him for this (and Digg is never going to let him forget it).

 

Little Talks - When Felicity is attacked, Oliver realizes that he knows almost nothing about her; in the course of helping her deal with what's happened, he's determined to prove that they are friends - despite Felicity's insistence that it's too complicated. The problem, he soon discovers, is that he wants to be more than just her friend.

 

The Way Back Home - Oliver Queen had really believed to have left that phase of his life behind. Waking up somewhere in the wilderness with dangerous people chasing him really is so 2007. But this time he isn't alone; Felicity Smoak is with him. And while he fights to keep her safe, he also struggles with the unresolved feelings that are lingering between them. (Set after season two)

[calliope1975]

I met Lord Mesa at WonderCon today. He was really nice. Here's my haul. Now, I just have to find some frames so I can hang them in my office at work. I tried to track down Miss Mert who was giving out prints if you could find her (via Twitter), but alas, I never did.

This is one that I've had a lot of interest in reading but was afraid they wouldn't complete it.  Thanks for posting the recommendation of the completed fic.

Seriously. I just caught up (and read You're His Hope) and aspects of it (especially plot and consistent character motivations) put the show to shame.

[lemotomato]

I thought "You're His Hope" was the LoA storyline we should have gotten to see on the show. She incorporated ARGUS and Team Flash and even Ray seamlessly. Really well done overall.

[apinknightmare]

I want to read this series, but I don't know if I have 250k + words of investment in me, haha.

[Carrie Ann]

Right??? I've never read anything over like 45k, I don't think. I know I should dive in sometime, but... I think 20k is like the sweet spot for me, in terms of investment and payoff.

[wonderwall]

Yes you do. Love yourself. Just do it. :p

 

But I warn you, it'll leave you  bitter about the current state of the show we have right now. 

 

She handles O/F's relationship rather maturely and it's really just nice to see :)

[apinknightmare]

Me too. I don't think I can do 93 chapters in one fic and 25+ in the second. I'm a read in one sitting kind of gal.

[Angel12d]

Just split the chapters up. That's how I read it, usually 10 or so chapters at a time, sometimes more if I had time. It's so worth it. It's the s3 we deserved.

 

Also, fic rec:

The Eye of the Storm by wagamiller is my favorite of all the smutty fics based on that promo. It's perfect.

I like it as bedtime reading.  (Just wish my laptop was a bit more comfortable.)  Some of the Arrow fic writers are better than the fiction books that are in stores.

I normally would be intimidated by 93 chapters but honestly, when it was over, it was too soon. This story is worth your time.   Her writing moves fast, is packed with emotion, actions twists, and cliff hangers.  It may take more than one sitting but her writing is the exception to any rules you have.  It's the story you didn't know you were wishing for.

Agree, it initially intimidated me, but I was so glad I read it! So far I like the "legacies" better, but that first one was very special.

[foreverevolving]

aren't they pretty short chapters anyway? My computer crashed right before the end of the year and I am like 95% sure one of my open tabs at the time had that story on it at chapter 90 something- so i don't quite remember.

[Ariah]

I usually download it as Mobi and read it on my Kindle. And have it for later...

@calliope1975!!! What!?! I just stumbled on this and had the best morning reading through it while I ignored, er, I mean, took care of my various responsibilities. Not to wax hyperbolic but this was the best ever and I can't wait to dig through your other stuff. Your Batman is awesome, Oliver and Felicity were fun and faithful at the same time, and altogether I felt like I was seeing some classic comic book issue unfold. Thanks for sharing! <3

[calliope1975]

Thanks @Ang! That's still my favorite story and the one I had the clearest vision of the arc I wanted to write. Sometimes Bruce makes noises in my head about returning to that verse, but this season has definitely wounded my muse a bit. I also really like the Nightwing story, but my cat suddenly got sick and died in the middle of writing it which killed my enthusiasm. That's another universe I'd like to go back to if I can come up with an idea.

[Ang]

Oh, so sorry about your cat! Yeah, this season hasn't been conducive to anything resembling fun. I'm excited to read Nightwing next.
