What If Keith Was A Hobbit And Shiro A Ranger And They Go On Adventures Together.

What if Keith was a Hobbit and Shiro a Ranger and they go on adventures together.

Nothing angsty like LOTR, no one is going to Mordor in this. More like going on a “curiosity killed the cat”-type quest with a juvenile hobbit who wants to see what’s beyond the Shire (remind you of anyone?). 

Probably not very shippy, just two friends getting each other in and out of loads of trouble.

Do NOT trust Anne Rice

Hello, Vampire Chronicles fans.

Sit down. We need to have a chat.

You see, while some people are very much excited for a new show about our pompous king of the assholes (and I say this as a term of endearment, having loved Lestat since I was a depressed teenager living in New York, shuffling through my mom’s fiction section) we need to pause and remember this:

Anne Rice does not support fan fiction or anything that is not glowing praise.

Read it again, slowly.

Anne Rice does not support fan fiction or anything that is not glowing praise.

This is difficult for younger fans to understand, but let’s take a walk down memory lane.

She has threatened to sue writers in the past. She is one of the most prolific writers of our generation, and she does not support people using her characters for their own work.

In fact, in 2000 she went on a binge-attack against her fans. She threatened legal action against fans who wrote or drew her characters, but especially those who wrote with them. She sent them weeks of harassing letters and doxxed them on the internet.

Let me repeat that.

She doxxed people who wrote fan fiction.

She harassed them online and threatened to contact employers.

She used her fans to outright attack other fans.

This isn’t even something she can just shake off now, with the comment of “It was so long ago” because she did this to a writer who wrote commentary on her story in 2013.

In 2013.

While it was not that she wrote fan fiction, she still shows that she has no respect for people who are in fandom.

Remember those disclaimers used in fan fics, at the beginning? “I do not own …. ”? Yeah, a lot of that has to do with the fact that Anne Rice and others like her would attack fandoms and threaten them, and was in hopes that they would just leave us alone. She didn’t.

In short: Do not trust Anne Rice. I love her writing, I have read every book she has even written, but I do not trust her.

You shouldn’t, either.

Returning to That Blog Life after some time away, craving a clean slate. I’ll post my own writing here, headcanons, prompts and drabbles, and no shortage of general Voltron shitposting. :D

Here’s the fan works review blog that you were actually looking for, btw:

How about... Shiro and Keith were voice actors together. Pining Shiro ends up having anonymous phone sex with a man who, impossibly, gets Keith’s character voice just right. He’s hooked.

Shiro had been barely making it as a voice actor. When he landed a lead role for a popular American adaptation of an anime, it not only made his career but earned him some of the very best friends he’s ever had. When it’s all over, he has one regret: that he never confessed his feelings for his breathtaking costar, Keith.

It’s been a year since the final episodes aired, and though the whole crew still stays in touch, Shiro misses the way he and Keith had become especially close in those years. He let the moment pass him by, and now he has no idea what to do with these feelings that seem to only ache more with time. 

Not only does Shiro secretly ship their characters together (nbd, Akira/Takashi was the most popular pairing, after all), but he spent years pining after Keith. Even now, he rewatches the old episodes and the rasp of Keith’s voice undoes him. It’s the stuff of his deepest, darkest fantasies.

Until he sees an ad for an adult fantasy voice chat service geared toward nerdy ships. There’s even one for Beast King GoLion! Now, maybe that is his deepest, darkest fantasy. Voicing a passionate scene with Akira would easily have him whiting out in no time. Even better if there’s someone who can work the honey-over-gravel tone of his former costar’s voice passably well. It’ll never be the real thing, but maybe if he can just scratch that itch...

Feeling shady but also curious, Shiro signs on as Takashi_tonight, swearing he’ll take this shameful moment to his grave. He posts that he’s looking for Akira, that he has a message only for him. He just wants to live out the fantasy for a few minutes. And who knows: maybe the phone sex will be a decent distraction, something to do rather than moping alone. 

It takes a while for someone to bite, but eventually akiraLovesYouBaby invites him to a private voice chat. 

Shiro’s not at all prepared for the voice that meets him on the line. It IS Akira. It’s perfect, and impossible. And all the feelings he’s worked so hard to bury come rushing to the surface. He’s sure he’s never come so hard in his life, his chest aching with a lot more than desire. The emotion in his voice, it’s unbelievable. 

Who is this guy? Shiro is hooked. And how many times will he have to log into this service, his shameful secret, just for the chance of finding him again?
