Hello, new fan!! Like you, I came to the fandom late...but during a VERY dark time, the summer just after the show ended, and fans were truly bitter about the way the show had ended (and in fact felt outright betrayed, some from as early as the beginning of season two). It's interesting to read fanfic for this show: it actually changes the way you perceive things if you go back and rewatch afterwards.
If you enjoy fanfiction, you have a lot of quality reading ahead of you in this fandom. There were and are some really terrific writers who wrote extensively about these characters, and these writers inspired me to try to write myself (I had never written anything before my first VM story).
Many of the writers in the fandom are consciously trying to correct for what they see as errors in the show. I mostly stick to canonical fic, especially futurefic (trying to imagine where the show could have gone). I really love taking the red herrings and errors from the show and twisting them into new plot points. If that appeals to you, you might check out my two long fics, The Year of Living Dangerously Part One and its sequel, YLD Part Two. Although all my fics are also here on Dreamwidth, those epics should be read on livejournal for now, as I am in the process of repairing all the links between chapters (there's a long story behind why I had to repost those 2 epics).
A good place to find fic recs if you are new to the fandom is a rec site vm_fic. If you really love Logan and Veronica stories, you should also try this heavily Logan/Veronica rec site epic_love_fics. Most of the best writers posted on veronicamarsfic, but the sheer number of posts there can be overwhelming, and the rec sites might be a better bet for you at first, until you start to find authors you like. Most livejournal/dreamwidth authors keep a list of their fics in their "memories" or in their first post, called a "friends-only post". I hope you'll also consider stopping by a new writers' challenge site I've started here on Dreamwidth, vmfictitious, where I'm hoping to push writers to create their very best fics. I'm hoping to connect some of the writers still writing with some of my favorite authors from years past.
Thank you for complimenting my imagery and details. I've been working hard on my descriptive skills the last year or so (I took a break from fandom and recently started writing again).
Thanks for reading and commenting; it looks like you made a Dreamwidth account to comment, and I truly appreciate that you went to all that trouble to let me know that you liked my story.
