Is there an Outlander fandom? [Passing For Normal]

A RL friend of mine has fallen hard for Outlander -- over the last few months she watched the TV series, read all of the books, and has now started on a reread. Like that. Ass over teacup. As one does.

Though she's never so much as poked her nose into fandom before, aside from reading this year's tiny handful of Outlander Yuletide fics I sent her links for, she has just written her first ever fanfic, a sort of speculative missing scene for the main canon het pairing, and she wants to post it. I'm getting her an AO3 invite, but I'm a bit concerned about her becoming discouraged about lack of response since this is still a Yuletide-size microfandom -- and also she's writing het, not slash, and it's not porny.

I read the first book donkey's years ago, but other than that I'm entirely ignorant. Does Outlander have a fannish presence anywhere else? DW/LJ/whatever? Someplace where posting a new-fic notice would be appropriate? Should I send her to FFN, or would that be too dire a fate to wish on her?

Speaking as one of the people who wrote one of those Yuletide fics :-) and a few others, I'd say there isn't much of a fandom. That's partly because DG is stridently and outspokenly anti-fanfic. But she should go ahead and post it, and then you should email me, because I'd read it, at least.

You are, as always, very helpful and entirely made of awesome. Thank you! ♥

It looks like there's a book fandom here, and a fandom for the TV show here. (Both links go to the AO3.) Hope this helps?

Thank you! :-)
