12. What fandom is vastly under-appreciated and you'd like more fic from?

I've gotta say Dexter is a fandom I wish had more writers. It's so dark and I really like the idea of a guy who appears normal to everyone else but he's a serial killer who has his own set of morals and good reasons for doing what he's doing. I identified with Dexter about 10 minutes into the first episode and I followed it until the end. I think a lot could be done with his character in fandom, but perhaps he's just such a loner that I wouldn't even like him paired with anyone or crossing over into other fandoms, but I'd like the chance to find out.

The Blacklist is another fandom where I wish there was a lot more fic. I didn't know who James Spader was until the Stargate movie. He made a fan for life outta me with that movie. I've watched a lot of movies just because he was in them since then. So when The Blacklist came along, it wasn't a question as to whether I'd watch it or not. And he totally makes the show IMNSHO. I'd love to read more fic with him in it whether it's gen, case!fic, slash, het, genderswap, or whatthefuckever. But so far I've not found much.

I love Jeff Lindsay's style so much I even grab the hardbacks now. Not something I do - I love paperbacks - easier to carry around, less space on the (always crammed) bookshelves, and yes - cheaper, too. But with him, I just can't wait.

Ooooh, a Super-Dexter-Crossover. I would soooo read that. :-)

And it was funny. Sis and I called him "Spader-mouse" because he was so cute and small... and the he morphed into "Spader-rat" in Boston Legal, because he wasn't exactly small anymore, but we still love 'im, because nobody stays 20 forever ;-)

I've quite had my fill of legal shows, too, but Spader and the Shat DID manage to create a special energy, which did work for me. Also, there was quite a bit of thinking outside of the box going on, so that worked for me, too.
