Rat Patrol slash online!
Aug. 29th, 2008 09:15 pmBucking the long history of Rat Patrol fanfic as being primarily available in fanzines, I have posted my Rat Patrol slash fanfic online! It's on my fanfic website at http://www.fanfic.tv/amedia/#ratpatrol.
I'm especially excited about this because Safari gave me permission to scan and include her wonderful illoes as well.
meritahut, who is an awesome artist in her own right, helped me figure out how to format them correctly for the web.
The Moffitt/Troy stories from DIVERSE DOINGS, Guests of the Sheik and Grappling with Issues have the wonderful illoes that Safari did for the zine.
Her illustrations for the first Moffitt/Dietrich story, Raids End in Lovers' Meetings, have never been published before, and they're amazing. The second one is one of my favorite pieces of Rat Patrol artwork ever.
Enjoy!

Date: 2008-09-01 04:36 am (UTC)The ones I know are still in the Yahoo Groups, like ratpatrol, Ratpatrol-L, ratpatroloasis, RatPatrolSlash, and RatPatrolWriters, but they're not terribly active.
I went to MediaWest*Con this year and a few of us Ratties held an Open House that drew a total of eight people, including ourselves. :-(
There are a few LJ communities (http://community.livejournal.com/rat_patrol_fans, http://community.livejournal.com/rat_patrol_fic, and http://community.livejournal.com/ratpatrol_slash, but they are even less active than the Yahoo Groups. Alas!
I haven't been really active in the fandom myself in the last few years. I tend to be a serial monogamist, fannishly speaking, and I'm currently heavily into Tin Man. RP has to be the longest I ever stayed active in one fandom, and I still have a lot of fondness for it.
