Other Places Where do you find more GW stuff? Type 'Gundam Wing' into a search engine.... and spend the next year or so going through all the hits. Frustrating doesn't begin to describe that process. So, what is it your looking for? Fics? There are some great archives around. GW Addiction is a huge site and updated on a very regular basis. SteelSong is another wonderful archive site, though updates are not done as often as they are on GWA. Pairing-specific archives also exist. For Heero x Duo lovers (wave those flags!) Shinigami & Wing is a must visit. Looking for Trowa x Quatre? Be sure to head over to OnTheQT. If Wufei x Duo is a favorite pairing, stopping by Death and the Dragon is a must. Fanfiction.net used to be the place to find the most GW fics, but a change in policy at that site has made a number of authors leave. There are other growing public archives - Media Miner, AdultFanFiction.net, and Fandomination.net just to name a few. As with any fandom, there are good and bad fics. For every bad fic, there is a good one so don't get discouraged (or should that be disgusted?). The menu section 'Rec List' (on the menu to your left) should get you pointed towards what we think are some of the best fics for GW. How about fanart? There are some remarkably talented artists in GW fandom. As well as writing, Fablespinner does beautiful drawings of all the characters. Media Miner also offers a large selection. A number of major fic archives, such as SteelSong, also have an art archive, so be sure and check a site's links. Mailing lists, aka YahooGroups, is a great way to get almost all the new fics and artwork. There are tons of lists, in a variety of 'flavors', for GW. A few have a 'fic-only' list (useful if you don't want all the chatter a regular list generates) and many have separate web pages to archive the posted fics. Some lists are very active (200+ e-mails a day), so if you have a smallish mailbox watch out. With all the lists you have an option of individual e-mails, daily digests, or web-only (no e-mail sent to you). Cheers from Alexis & Karen ! |
