I mades you a fandom but I eated it.

Okay, dammit. [livejournal.com profile] thirtysomefic. Live it learn it love it. Pimp it or I will probably kill you. Join it or I will make people write you weird e-mails. Write thirtysomething fic or I will have you boiled alive in a huge pot of water!

Okay, I take all that back. But seriously. SERIOUSLY. Even if you don't want to write thirtysomething fic, still join! Even if you don't join, pimp! Even if you don't know a thing about the show thirtysomething (ABC, 1987-1990), your friends MIGHT! So send them over! [livejournal.com profile] thirtysomefic!

There's even an inaugural fic challenge. You could write me drabbles. You could love me. You could help!

Look, dude, I started a community and will hopefully proceed to start a fandom and fic blitz! It worked for [livejournal.com profile] scrubsfic -- when I started that comm there were three Scrubs fics to the internet's name, and hardly ANY porn. And now, just look! There's like a million members and it's like it was always there, just born fully formed as a fandom. And we can do it AGAIN!

So, again. Thirtysomething. It was, like, this TV show. By the guys who later went on to make things like the movie Glory and the shows My So-Called Life and Once and Again. It won tons of awards and was pretty much sheer genius for the four years it was on, capturing the rise of yuppiedom in the face of AIDS, liberal politics, family, kids, queers, romance, advertising, art, marketing, photography, extramarital affairs, a house under constant renovation, cancer, death, anxiety, and therapy. It starred people who are A-listers in film and television today, and its entire cast has pretty much gone on to join tv show staffs as award winning directors and guest stars. There is nothing about thirtysomethign that is NOT AWESOME, except its lack of fannish presence.

So, [livejournal.com profile] thirtysomefic? No, for REALS, I will pay you MONEY.

I'm going to pimp the hell out of this thing all weekend. Please, you also do said?
