It feels me with SUCH GLEE that this post exists. Because yes, everyone should watch! And read! (LOTS.) And come play!
Now, in 2011, it has been disqualified from Yuletide
...for methodological reasons, though. I don't think, objectively, one can consider GK a large fandom, nor even a fandom with a particularly large amount of fic. But the way that Yuletide considers a fandom small (number of stories on A03), punishes fandoms whose users actually, ya know, use A03. So we kinda got screwed there (imo).
fall in love with Generation Kill and our erudite, researched fanworks
::loves:: And yeah, it helps to like research in this fandom.
There's a funny relationship this fandom has with real people
HA! Yeah...there's fun-times history there.
the miniseries is a fictional rendering of real people
This cannot be emphasized enough! Even the actors have emphasized it (thank you, Alexander!).
All pdf's, for universal use.
I love you SO MUCH for this! I have been looking for an e-copy of OBA forever! Thank you!!! I've been

Oh, bless that picture. They look so thin! They need more ravioli!
I can't decide whether to post this to the gk comm--it seems kind of recursive, you know?
Oh, no, it's up-to-date as of last week. (Heh.) Perhaps I've gotten pickier? I don't think so, but if there are stories I've missed...
I could make a witty crack about my own, but I also think it's just that the output has gone down; I won't be surprised if this becomes more of a YAGKYAS focused fandom in the next couple of years---it can be easier to write once a year rather than try to find inspiration when so many of the stories have been written.
You're welcome for the books! That's not the most amazing pdf, and if you want I can send you an epub or mobi that's in better condition, but I figured PDFs were easy across all the platforms.
I'm glad you think I covered everything! Let me know if there's something you think I should add in. <3
They look SO thin! Which is amazing considering the drunken revelry going on behind the scenes. But, awww, boys!

I get that. At the same time, it's totally on point for the comm, others have posted theirs (and asked for primer recs!), so my inclination is you should post it.

HA! (Though I have been thinking I need to reread the agentverse series 'cause I don't think I've recced enough of that). You are correct, though; activity has slowed, this year, especially.
if you want I can send you an epub or mobi that's in better condition
OMG! I would LOVE an epub!!!
Let me know if there's something you think I should add in.
Will let you know if I think of anything, but others' primers would be redundant and you got all the main resources that come to mind. Really, 'tis excellent!
Yaaaay! :) I've been trying to figure out how best to post something like this for months now, and mostly just haven't because I'm such a lurker who lurks in this fandom, and never feel as if I really grasp it well enough. So yay! Now I can just point people here! :)
Also: Four of those six fics I hadn't read. It fills me with such glee to know this.
omg i owe you email i just realized. ah, i'm so sorry, so sorry. will get to it soonest, hopefully tonight.
Woo! I'm glad it's helpful--feel free to use it far and wide. And man, I've read like a vacuum in this fandom--those were literally just the first handful of stories that sprang to mind, and could easily find. Even though there's seven rather than five. :)
Email me whenever! Or you can text me too, I'm good to communicate that way. It doesn't tend to work for our long-form communiques, though. :)
