Friday fics — John Oliver RPF

[mayhap]

I'm a longtime fan of The Bugle, John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman's weekly news comedy podcast. I've seriously considered trying to nominate it for Yuletide, but I wasn't sure if anyone would be willing to write it for me, especially as I was having difficulty framing a request more coherent than "please write me anything whatsoever having to do with The Bugle". Maybe this year will be the year.

John Oliver's Infinitely Recursive Fanfiction Adventure (1580 words) by SailorPtah

Fandom: Fake News RPF
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon
Additional Tags: Metafiction, Characters Reading Fanfic
Summary:

Based on a true story.

(The real-world John Oliver is advised to avoid reading this one, lest he rip a hole in the space-time continuum.)

John Oliver discovered Daily Show slash fiction and is outraged…that he isn't getting any in any of these stories. So of course someone wrote a story about that. It is awesome.

Summary:

This is an ode to how much I love Liz. Featuring a large amount of John Oliver, various FakeNews alumni, and Zaltor the Merciless. I mean Andy. I mean whut?

"Tell me the story of when Andy and John tried once and once only to go on a Proper Real Not-Kidding Date, and the chaos and hilarity that ensued." - Appleteeth

This is more like three ficlets, and the first and third are John/Andy. Surprisingly adorable.

I'll…try to read something slightly less niche before next Friday, I promise.

If you want to keep working this niche that would be ok too. /fellow Bugle fan

Hail, fellow Bugler! Do we have some kind of secret handshake and/or gang sign? I feel like it should involve bird flipping, and would probably require upwards of an hour to execute in its unabridged form.

I would be more than happy to continue in this vein! Sadly, while The Bugle has a dedicated fandom, it does not, largely, appear to be that sort of fandom. Although someone did post this on The Bugle Wiki.
