Starsky & Hutch

[lomelinde_laurea]

This is me, getting into fandoms several decades late :). I've now finished watching Starsky & Hutch for the first time, and I adore the show. It's not without its faults, but there is so much to love. (And it's so, so slashy :P)

Now I'm dipping my toes into fandom and starting to search for fanfic, art and vids, so if anybody has any recs to share I'd be grateful! Looking forward to meeting fellow fans, so feel free to say hi.

As well as checking AO3, you could search Dreamwidth for people listing it as an interest. :)

True, thanks! It’s kind if strange for me, getting back into the LJ way of doing things. Strange but nice :)

Oooh, S&H is on my to-watch list. It's currently being crowded out by lots of other stuff, but it's been on there a while and what little I've seen of it is good (and you're right, very slashy!).

There's some great vids out there--I really like this one: Hey Na Na. It's great pacing and I love the story it's telling.

It really is a lot of fun! Now I’ve started watching The Streets of San Francisco with a VERY young Michael Douglas, so it’s currently all 70s cop shows. Thanks for the vid rec, I’ll definitely check that out!

Fancy seeing you here! I'm still recent to the fandom as well, so I don't have much to rec, but it's great seeing other people on the same slashy buddy cop show fandom journey.

The slashy buddy cop show journey sure is a lot of fun, isn’t it? I knew S&H would he slashy from what I’d read others say about it, but it was even more than I expected! Not complaining ;)

I assume you are on the Venice Place mailing list and the Facebook group?

[lomelinde_laurea]

I’m in the Facebook bRomance group but not on the Venice Place mailing list - do you have a link where I could sign up? Thanks for the tip!

[morgandawn]

you should ask about the Venice Police mailing list on the Facebook group because they might have more up-to-date information. But this is the last information I had

Great, thanks so much!

Welcome! A lot of the fic in this fandom is older, which means it has the ... aesthetic and tropes of earlier generations, which you may or may not find a little offputting.

I like a lot of this author's work, she's got a lot of crackish stuff but also several more serious pieces as well, which are more to my taste: https://archiveofourown.org/users/esteefee/pseuds/molo/works?fandom_id=11778

Also lamardeuse: https://archiveofourown.org/users/lamardeuse/pseuds/lamardeuse/works?fandom_id=11778

And also

On the Starsky & Hutch archives (https://www.starskyhutcharchive.net/index.php), some of my faves back in the day were Rosemary (who also has her own site, http://tiranog.southroad.com/Tiranog_Site_Map_Web.htm), FlamingoSlim, Jat Sapphire, Dana Austin Marsh, SunnyD. There are probably a bunch more that I'm forgetting now but it's been a while since I've been in the fandom. And I think there's another archive out there that's not quite the same and probably has additional stories.

Have fun!

Thank you so much for the links! It’s interesting what you say about aesthetics and tropes - that’s something I’ve noticed as well.

I’ve read some of molo’s stories, since I know her her due South fics, and I really love what I’ve seen so far. (I also tend to prefer the more serious stories, even if I do enjoy fun ones as well). I’ve also read Outcome by lamardeuse, which was great. I’ll defiantly check out the other authors you mentioned. It’s such a fun moment when you discover a new fandom and there’s so much to dig into :)
