annwfynSo, I've been reading through fanfic today, I found some cute Fiddler on the Roof pieces of fanfic and thought I'd share.
Here, here and here.
Just little drabbles but very sweet. I think if you're a Fiddler on the Roof fan you should read them. For they are awesome.
I also (as usual) found David Eddings fanfic which is noticeably better than the original. It's the story of Taiba and Relg and offers up a far less icky dynamic than David Eddings, who seems to view women as a cross between predators and punchbags, with a push button sexuality, and has a painful lack of understanding as to what a lifetime of physical and sexual abuse might do to a person. The author's note does offer the explanation that the Belgariad is narrated by two exceedingly self involved teenagers, although she doesn't manage to explain how the Mallorean somehow gets worse.
Anyway, it's here.

Date: 2011-12-07 11:20 am (UTC)I always figured that obviously characters didn't change at all, in spite of any evolution proffered by the narrator/author, and that obviously, teenage fantasies/behavior in post-teenage years could only get worse. That, or Garion's always been hoping for a meek "yes, dear" home-making wife, and when he didn't get her, took out his frustration on the rest of the narrative. Maybe.
