Mixed-media fics / Vanity Fair universe? FOUND

[ardatli.livejournal.com]

I just stumbled over a series of AU fics that were quite neatly done, overall - Celebrity, Gossip and Vanity Fair - and really enjoyed them. I'm a sucker for mixed-media!

Were any others ever done in that style (by anyone, with newspaper articles/clippings/etc), or in that universe?

ETA: No further updates to that universe, but there are a lot of links to mixed-media style fics in the comments. Thank you to everyone!

It's freaking cool, beautiful, creative and funny at times.

Thank you so much!

(I should add that I've seen another one which was fabulous, on AO3, the show canon told through memos from Cynthia. I can't remember the name of it offhand, though.)

[sungaizing85.livejournal.com]

No prob.

Maybe it's Quinn's memos (most are Cyn's memos) oh and here is also Changes (form of a diary and drawings - http://www.kinnetik.org/changes/index.htm)

Cheers,
Lee

The order of Quinn's fics is: Memos, Correspondence, Adventures, Interlude, Changes, Summer, Fall (which is where she stopped, that one isn't complete and won't be).

This 'verse is very definitely in my Top 10. So amazingly creative. What's also amazing is that up through Changes (I think), these entries were posted on a near-daily basis.

Takes some doing, but if you're a fic saver, these are worth it. I "right-click, save"-d my way through the whole thing. It's one I've gone back to over and over.

[shipper01.livejournal.com]

do you have a link to Fall? Even if it's not complete. I got the links for all the others, I just need that one.

[court1429.livejournal.com]

No, I don't. I've got it saved. She was posting some on AO3, too, but I'm not sure what's over there. I'll PM her and see if she's got it uploaded anywhere.

Thank you so much for this list and to ardatli for the request. I've never read these due to not being able to figure out how to copy them until now.

[sungaizing85.livejournal.com]

No prob...cwap, I didnt even figure out there was an order of them. No wonder, I was confused at times. ROFL.

Thanks Ardatli and Court!

You're welcome! if you've got Google's Picasa photo viewer downloaded, it makes reading these uploaded posts much easier. Picasa's got a zoom you can activate via the roll-y thing on your mouse that enlarges quite a bit without sacrificing quality.

[sungaizing85.livejournal.com]

Awesome!!! Didn't know that, will do it today.

Thank you so much!

Hugs,

[ardatli.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I wasn't sure if that one filtered out fics with text *and* graphics (like Vanity Fair), or if it was for everything.

This is one of my favorites 'Busy Week on the Fridge' by Julad:

[ardatli.livejournal.com]

Oh! Yes, I had seen that one. It was great!

[lildevilgirl06.livejournal.com]

Can you give me the link to Vanity Fair? For some reason I think I saved Celebrity and Gossip but somehow missed Vanity Fair. Thanks!

[ardatli.livejournal.com]

I downloaded it as a pdf with all three stories in it - let me see if I can find the link again.

... I've been poking around and can't find it. PM me your email address, and I can send it to you.
