Apparently a lot of people dislike fanon terms.
Gunstar some dislike specifically.
Deadlock worked around that with other types used. Suppose cruiser could be leaned into.
Though now BSG Shattered hopes is using the term Gunstar.
So... Whats the consensus for a BSG fic, Gunstar or "cruiser" and such?
Hello friends 🤗
Happy to see activity for fans of BSG. Lately, well for a while, felt like the fandom disappeared. Practically no new fics, old sites around the series gone…
Battelstarcentral for the Libra fanfic fan group was a heavy blow When found out the site was gone.
Is there anywhere else fans suggest to look for active BSG fan group discussions of the show? Would love to ask questions what people think different issues of the show, but probably overload this area with threads for each question 😂
2 question Examples;
1. Would Lee Adama and Kara Thrace work better as brother/sister like friendship or as a couple? There’s certainly hints for the relationship as they go back and forth on thru the show even at the start, but I take some of those scenes like miniseries and could see them having been just close friends. Brother/sister chemistry for me looking at the cute scene throwing paint at each other while rushing for the thousandth landing celebration for pilot.
2. Or would things have been better without Cylon model numbers, not limited to Twelve so no final five? No clones looking the same besides ability for resurrection?
They did have advantages for cheaper casting using copies but pretty sure with multiple people was still doable for the show - and without duplicates “anyone could be a Cylon” has more menace/depth? Plus more humanizing, them calling themselves numbers “I’m number six.” Was a bit like theres less value to each of them? Perhaps not the best way to describe that but hopefully you get my thought process there.
Does anyone have recommendations for fanfic AU for the show?
Most are incomplete/abandoned, or been deleted. Battlestar victorious by Wes Imlay, Monbades series on Fanfiction.net, Battlestar prometheus. Battlestar libra 37 great episodes, delete when site went down. Command star Aurora was amazing, finished 😊. I see practically nothing on webnovel, AO3, and still cruising thru spacebattles forum but doesn’t seem much more haven’t seen.
