Yesterday, I wrote about fan fiction. While updating the post, I stumbled across a strange and wonderful world of fan art. They range from Twilight and Southern Vampire Mysteries fan fic banners. While I’m familiar with these, I also encountered fan art inspired by Spock and Kirk, most of which were inspired by a scene in Star Trek.
The enthusiasm that Star Trek fans have for a Spock and Kirk pairing is such that a weird and wonderful world exists out there where the Spock/Kirk pairing have inspired ‘slash’ homoerotic fan fiction and assorted fan art.
Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Mysteries have also inspired thousands of fan fiction on fanfiction.net. The banners that accompany these stories are some of the most accomplished I have seen. These banners and SVM fan art give professional graphic designers a run for their money.
Here’s an example of the talented banner maker, Ange de l’aube.
Which is your favourite fandom? Your favourite pairing? Your favourite banners and banner artist? Let me know!
