Awww thanks!
So about recommendations…this blog’s purpose is actually recommending all kinds of media. I post stuff I like but other people’s recommendations are also welcome.The common theme is in my blog description. If you are looking for something specific it’s best to just have a look at my list of tags (on mobile this link might work better). I tag fairly consistently so I think that’s the easiest way to find what you are looking for (books, movies, comics, etc.).
So far I have 2 book lists:
Books with monsters as love interest
Ugly Badass Girls Getting the Hot Guy in Fantasy and Science Fiction
I can’t really help you (much) with manga and anime because I know the same movies and shows that everybody knows (read: mostly Studio Ghibli) and I hardly ever read manga. Just try my anime tag, there still might be something for you.
About fan fiction: I haven’t read fan fiction in a very long time. The last time I was really into it was after The Force Awakens came out and I really needed some reylo content. Any desire to read fics died with The Last Jedi. That movie delivered so much canon reylo I can wait contently for Episode IX.
The thing is I’ve only ever been looking for fan fiction when something sparked my imagination but canon gave me almost nothing like TFA, Labyrinth, Predator and Riddick. For a short time I may be obsessed but ultimately I’ll always go back looking for original fiction.
I’ll add more recommendations as soon as I find the willpower to make proper posts 😉
