I've read an Arthurian fic that ripped off The Sword and the Circle (untagged), I wonder if that counts as "part of the fandom"... Eh, I guess fusion and inspired don't count. ;) For what it's worth, it's hard to be original in Arthurian fiction. :)
I like these posts; it's so interesting to see which books tick upwards. Awww, I'm glad. I love making them. I know they're not fancy, but there's something magical about the numbers. :D
the ones with no works on AO3 are The Queen Elizabeth Story, The Chronicles of Robin Hood, Brother Dusty-Feet, Simon, Lady in Waiting, The Flowers of Adonis, Song for a Dark Queen, and Bonnie Dundee Occasionally one or the other gets rooted for in conversations (Simon and The Flowers of Adonis recently, if I'm not mistaken), but we don't seem to be able to get it off the ground! In exchanges, you have to nominate it first, to get in the tagset, and request, and hope someone's around who'd be interested, or offer, and hope anyone who's interested is around to request... And there's Sutcliff Swap with strictly Sutcliff, but the number of requests is limited and one cannot ask for All The Things. :) I'd love to see these brought into the spotlight. Maybe we can consider group readings in the community next year, to bring more awareness and interest, so there's an impetus for fic and art...
Would not have expected Finn Mac Cool or the short stories The advantage of the short stories is that they're short! It's a five (or fifteen) minute fandom! So, *cough* if one is really into a short story and is vocally enthusiastic and asks for it all the time, it's got to bear fruit at some point...
