As I stroll through the A-team fanfic archive...

Some observations, in true Valis bullet-point style.

• Earnest haiku poetry about BA Baracus. I am not making this up.


• One of the authors on the archive is Jullian Gray, which is making me absolutely crazy, because my substitutive memory thinks it's julian_black for a split second everytime it sees the name. Julian, plus color, get it? *headdesk*


• I was surprised at how much Murdock/Face there is. After I thought about it for a moment, though, I realized that it makes sense, given the possible pairings.


• BA Baracus is rarely given much of a role in any of the Face-centric stories I've looked at. Also, I have yet to find him paired with anyone, except for two stories (by the same author) where he was paired with Murdock because Face was with Hannibal. However, he does remind me of Hagrid in a way--I like him better in fanfiction than in canon. Though I have to say that I'm a helluva lot fonder of BA than Hagrid.


• Best summary ever: What if the A Team were roosters? What if they were specially trained Roosters? What if they then escaped? What if their escape went slightly wrong?


• I have seen countless summaries for Christmas fics. I have to say--I have never cared for any Christmas fic I've ever read, but they certainly are omnipresent in fandom, aren't they? There's also a single Hanukah fic.


• Does every fandom have a "[X character]'s Very Bad, No Good, Horrible Day" fic? It seems like it.
