The Beginner's Guide to Blakes 7 Slash, by Manna (PG-13)

Fandom: BLAKES 7
Pairing: heh, 'all' is probably the most technically accurate
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] msmanna

Why this must be read:

Sometimes the unrelenting angstiness of canonically minded Blakes 7 is a bit much. At times like that, this is the sort of fic you need.

Its plot can be summed up as "The B7 Crew Get Fanfic", and well, yes, it's as silly as that sounds. The crew themselves are delightfully believeable, though (it's worth reading for Avon's response to accusations of canonical slashiness alone, hee) and it's all delightfully meta in a way that makes it perfect for letting you get lost in the happy world of fandom. It's sort of the pudding in the banquet of fandom - you couldn't survive off it alone, but it's really rather nice in smaller quantities. :)

Thanks for reminding me of this--I'll definitely give it a heads-up (and thumbs-up) in my ThreePursuitShip Manifesto (i.e., my B/A essay for [livejournal.com profile] ship_manifesto unless someone with less flagrantly peculiar views takes it over).
