Fandom Snowflake Challenge - Day 7

Day 7

Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or check out some fanworks that are new to you. (The recs from Day 2 might be a good place to start.) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I don't know what propelled me here, to Elizabeth Enright's Melendy Quartet. Those books had been amongst my childhood favorites, and I'd never considered that there could be fanworks for them.

Not that there's a lot to pick from, a grand total of five stories on AO3, and the most recent one is almost five years old. But I thought it worth a shot and I absolutely do not regret reading Wendelah1's story, Good As New.

It brings together the whole family and the secondary characters, a few years into their future. It's been decades since I read the books, but the characters and voices, particularly Miranda's, feel very real and authentic.

Small fandoms are sometimes the best fandoms; thanks for sharing the story you tried out. :)
