Talk:Obsession (Original Slash zine)
I don't know what to do with this zine. I first cataloged it as multifandom (thinking Always Get Your Man was a real show), then thought is was rps and now realize it is original fiction. Should it be deleted? Or is it some sort of meta thing? This is the description from the publisher: "Always Get Your Man was the most successful show the BBC had ever made. The fans loved it, "slash" fiction was rife, and the two stars, Clark Kenyon and Jim Burrows, were a huge success at every convention they attended. The show had given Clark the best friend he had ever had, and it was only a minor inconvenience - at first - that he also found Jim incredibly attractive. Location work took them to a coaching inn with a four poster bed, and the natural conclusion followed. Everything should have been fine, but then the obsessed fans appeared. As Chief Inspector Bridlington said, it was a disaster waiting to happen. Stephen Frost began with stalking. Then he wanted more .... 85 pages. Mrs. Potato Head 21:51, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think it should be deleted. It is a self-published zine, and has clearly at least conceptual ties to fandom. So if neither the actors nor the series exist I'd say file it under "original fiction" or "original slash" as the fandom. The RPS should go out of the title then too.--Ratcreature 22:02, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I change that back. But am wondering though, I haven't been cataloging original fiction (aside from one trilogy that based its characters on Pros and SH by LaSalle). Is original fiction fan fiction? Mrs. Potato Head 22:07, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- I think I'll rename this as Original Fiction then. And it has the tie to fan fiction simply by its subject matter. Mrs. Potato Head 23:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
