I was going to say I don't even know who those people are, but I'm thinking they're maybe Batman and Catwoman? Selina rings a faint bell from my decades-ago comic book reading days...
They are indeed Batman and Catwoman :) Nolanverse fandom is disappointing me with its lack of loads and loads of fic, especially considering how many people watched the movies.
I guess - you know, I saw the huge explosion over at Avengers fandom and while I liked the movie it didn't really inspire me to write fic or anything. And in terms of viewers and hype and everything TDKR is just as big, so I can't help compare the fandom to Avengers which makes it look like a tiny, abandoned fandom. It's like... "this fandom is just not happening man! :(((( "
(Hmm. I wonder though. AO3 has 90 fics tagged with Bruce/Selina. I should go and spy on your fandoms to compare!)
I see what you mean about The Avengers - but it did just take off. I haven't seen anything like that for Batman. I suppose fandom is contrary. Poor Pitry!
Yes! S&S has about 80 and Press Gang 56. ;-p B7 isn't too bad and the rest are just non-existent, really. (Also I wrote nearly 30 of the PG fics on AO3, so they don't count. I've written 17 of the S&S as well.)
Nominate PG for Yuletide! Who knows, maybe someone will pick it up! And you will have fic!
(YES! Poor Pitry! Wants an explosion of Bruce/ Selina that isn't coming. This is so ironic. Usually I don't care about pairings and everyone ignores all the wonderful gen-y plot possibilities and I'm frustrated. FINALLY I care about a pairing.... and THIS happens. I'm possibly fandom poison?)
PG quite often gets nominated for Yuletide, so it might be in there. I have other things I want more right now. The good thing about PG fic is that what little there is is pretty darn good, so it's okay.
Pitry, when you ship an OT3 like burning in a tiny fandom that only has about 100 fics in total across all sites, and there are 3 1/2 of them that are OT3 fics (2 of them written in the last 2 months) while the majority ship the OTP without the 3, then you can complain. (Especially since fake!evil!Silver is a recurring thing. With v occasional actual!evil!Silver.) ;-p And I never had an OTP before, either. *sighs*
But okay, it is TERRIBLE for you, how do you bear it? *pets poor Pitry*
It was actually more sincere than it sounded. Comparisons never help. If it isn't enough fic, it isn't enough. Although sincere petting does start to sound like a worrying fanfic cliche. ("Bruce petted Selina SINCERELY." ♥ Or, from what little I know of Batman and Catwoman, it was probably insincere.)
But do contemplate me bouncing away from S&S wanting ALL THE FANNISH THINGS for Silver/Sapphire/Steel and turning to the internet...
Me (a few hours later): So... that's one 500 word ficlet and 1 fanvid, then?
No, no, 500 words and 1 fanvid was the sum total of S/S/S on the internets last summer when I fell into the fandom. (That there is now more is partly because I am a bad influence.)
I@ve written 600 words today, but absolutely no fanvidding. An dgood luck with the presentation!
I might do some writing or something now, you never know. Anyway, I achieved watching DW without interruption as my Mum has finally learned that I would prefer her not to ring me in the middle of it as she has done for the past 3 weeks in a row.

Date: 2012-09-22 08:10 pm (UTC)(lololololol. Well, I think it would be "Bruce petted Selina partially-sincerely ♥", although Bruce petting Selina at all would be rather disturbing).
500 words + 1 fanvid is more than I have achieved today! I'm still writing the damn presentation! BAH.
