Chaser May 22, 2016 Share May 22, 2016 (edited) It's possible he is capitalizing on Laurels death. I would hate for him to have an unfavorable view of Felicity. He makes some of my favorites. I always thought he was very neutral too. I went thru his IG and he hasn't been doing that much Arrow at all. His previous Arrow did mention Felicity (Scooby Bus).

Hey, Arrow is neglected by everyone, not just the creators. :) Kidding, of course he can and should draw whatever he wants, it just seems weird. Like, this past episode with the Smoak family drama was the perfect opportunity for a humorous illo. Link to comment
kismet May 24, 2016 Share May 24, 2016 Found some good stories recently. I recommend "Felicity Takes a Holiday" by BstnStrg13 http://archiveofourown.org/works/5153132/chapters/11865413 - I know that there are a few BATB fans on this forum (I know not a lot). But there is a really good crossover with Arrow, even if you don't watch BATB. It has some pretty good Delcity, a good FS, and a rough around the edges OQ. It also has a really good characterizations of the BATB crew. It's set in between s2 & s3, so its not Olicity yet, but it has an oblivious pining OQ, which is something fun to read again. It's a nice little AU adventure, for those willing to take the trip. I also recommend "Reconciliation" by BstnStrg13 http://archiveofourown.org/works/4882231/chapters/11193643 - The same author wrote a nice little story that takes place between s3/4. It is AU in the sense that it was written before some of the factual events that have since happened on s4. The story definitely had other theories, but still sorta work. Its an enjoyable story that includes some predictable events, but has nice characterization. I find the way she writes the characters both engaging and in character. She also seems to crave Delicity and a more evolved OQ so that is enjoyable. It's a good quick read. Even if it deviates from canon because of when the story was initially written, I still founded it very entertaining. It was a completed story that had good plotting and pacing. It felt like a complete story, bonus that it wasn't a WIP, but also didn't feel rushed or abandoned. 1 Link to comment

kismet May 27, 2016 Share May 27, 2016 Loved Macha's update... also read her "HoneyTrap" which was cute little one shot. http://archiveofourown.org/works/6148783 There are so many wonderful possibilities with fake wedding tropes, their accompanying drama & OMG moments - that it makes me sorta bitter that s4 did a fake wedding and didn't even manage to manage to get any of the good stuff beyond OQ's heart eyes. It's like the writers were in a candy story could grab any fake wedding candy they could want and they willing chose the vomit or earwax jelly beans. Sometimes the Arrow writers make the oddest choices. Oh well, glad we have wonderful FAN FIC writers to pick up the slack and write so much of the good stuff :) 3 Link to comment

bijoux May 30, 2016 Share May 30, 2016 Macha's got a bit of adorable AU silliness. It's really upbeat and she gets some things so right in short, epistolary form. Like Oliver sending Thea emails instead of texting for one. The Unbearable Hotness of Being 7 Link to comment

EmeraldArcher June 1, 2016 Share June 1, 2016 A short fic based on an Arrow fan girl's life: "Never a Queen" by EmeraldArcher One week post season finale, a forty-something Arrow fan girl was already pining for her favorite show, but the Season 5 premiere was still an unbearably long time away. She tried to fill the void by reading fan fics on AO3, but none of the new stories were doing it for her. So, in a brilliant stroke of genius, EmeraldArcher decided to spice up her life by reenacting some romantic Olicity scenes from the hundreds of fics she'd read in the last year. The perfect opportunity to recruit her husband into playing Oliver to her Felicity came the next day when they were making Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner. As soon as her husband placed the pan full of chicken into the oven, she sashayed up to him, throwing her arms around his neck. "Kiss me until I forget my own name," she begged seductively, imitating Felcity from an Established Olicity-tagged fic. "Ha!" He laughed, dodging her kiss. "How about just until I forget your name?" ~The Bitter End~ ;-) 9 Link to comment

Mellowyellow June 1, 2016 Share June 1, 2016 Okies I have finally worked up the nerve to shamelessly promote my story here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/6754423/chapters/15436303 4 Link to comment
arjumand June 1, 2016 Share June 1, 2016 I spend some time on a writers' forum on ffn - it's good for getting advice, getting work critiqued, and sometimes just sitting back, handful of virtual popcorn at the ready, just watching the shit go down. Anyway, there usually isn't specifically Arrow stuff being mentioned - it's rare that there's anyone besides me who's into Arrow. Until recently, when this very, very new writer tried to publicize his (pretty sure it's a guy) Arrow fanfic series called 'Arrow on target'. What's hilarious to me is that he's trying to promote his story in the appropriate thread, but then keeps editing the post every few days to try and get someone, anyone to read and review. At first the promo post was just about Oliver, then he had a line which went "If you hate what Felicity's become . . ." (Nope! Hard pass!), now it's changed again to "I'm trying really hard, you guyssss! Please give me a channnce!" Dude, you kind of showed your cards with 'hate' and 'Felicity' in the same sentence. Also, this is Oliver sitting next to Laurel and thinking about her: Quote She'd suffered enough trauma for ten people, yet here she sat beside him. Not only alive, but getting better. He felt like he was seated beside a miracle. One he knew he would never have. There was no amount of repentance for what he'd done that could ever mend the bridge burned between them- it shouldn't be mended, he thought. She deserved someone much better than him, someone that values her as much as she deserves, and never hurts her like her did. Someone better. I mean, I could be nice and point out the SPaG that need fixing, but that's just the least of the problems here. Also, if you post your action scene for critique (in another thread), and then don't follow any of the advice given, it's kind of a dick move. In my opinion, of course. 1 Link to comment

This gives Tommy time to become what he has and is just painful in its irony and how these two guys that love each other are positioned as adversaries. Link to comment
