For the Horde? Like hell!

So here's a thing I love about Leverage: so much of the fic is full of Warcraft references! All the fangirls who watch Leverage _and_ play WoW are letting their inner WoW nerds out and I love it.

I've always felt - not exactly frustrated - but kinda bifurcated; my fannish life is cut in half between WoW and the fanwork I do there (theorycrafting, blogging, et cetera) and media fandom proper. And I've always felt a little thingy that no matter what I talk about, I'm going to be boring half my audience, y'know?

Except apparently not, because I keep reading fics with WoW references that prove the author knows what they're talking about! It's awesome - I have found my people, yo!

:D I haven't been looking out for them (and my fannish friends probably wouldn't link me if they did), but it's gleeful to hear that there are more of them! (And I'd take links!)

There was a WoW reference in How I Met Your Mother sometime in the fourth season, I think -- one of the characters meets his girlfriend through WoW, and from the in-game scene, I think he was a female human mage to her male Draenei paladin. XD She turned out to be crazy, but it does open up yet another fandom to WoW, along with Leverage and SGA (albeit the SGA references made me kinda wince). :D

Man, now I'm trying to remember the fic I read with the reference. Um. Let me check my delicious...

Ah yes! It was What We Talk About When We Don't Talk About Love, part of Brown Betty's Odd Jobs series (which started with the widely recced The Underwire Job) and the Week Off subseries.
