#carmilla the web series

[hyperfanpod]

Vampire month continues with Marika making the gang talk about the first season of Carmilla the web series, the 2014 Canadian adaption of the novella of the same name. It was a very specific, very tumblr moment on the internet for Marika. Cal and Bret find it... fine. Cal makes comparisons to Baldur's Gate and Bret has seen as a lot of SyFy original programming.

TOP 10 WEB VIDEO SERIES ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA (2010-2023)

To make this ranking, all series titles in the Other Media category on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then manually filtered since not all web video series were marked as such.

Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.

Many authors started locking their works starting December 2022. It's most likely the reason the number of fanworks decreased or slowed down in 2023.

Bar chart starts at 2010 because there were no web series in Other Media in 2009.

The Dream SMP tag was only considered an Additional Tag in 2021-early 2022, which is why it's not listed in Other Media earlier than that.

Please refer to this post for more bar chart races.

Dedicating this post to @vsrobotjulie who requested this bar chart race.💕

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

Carmilla (2014)

[everythinandanything]

Fellow queer people reading this, I want to test out a theory-

That if you put ANY campy horror comedy staring LGBTQ people in front of a queer person, we will become obsessed with it by the end of the week.

Is this true for anyone else, or is it just me?

Finished Season 1 of CARMILLA. I didn’t expect this web series to be so plot heavy. But I can take plot heavy so long as the characterization doesn’t suffer. Which it definitely didn’t. Not only do the two main protagonists get their due with this, the side and recurring characters get some good representation and development too. Which, for a short series, is pretty impressive. Told you it can be done if intended.

There’s also (surprisingly) really good writing in this web series. Like the pacing is good, the execution of the plot lines and arcs are well-written. Obviously because they can’t have a lot of action (low budget web series, after all) a lot of what actually happens to evolve the plot has to be off-screen and explained. Which isn’t my favourite thing in the world because I do prefer interpretation over exposition. Still - as the theme song for the series goes - love will have its sacrifices. I simply have to accept and embrace this factor due to the format and nature of the content.

I wouldn’t say I’ve fallen in love with it by any means - at least not yet - but I did enjoy what I watched. And the slow burn progression for Hollstein was A++!

Really great chemistry between Carmilla and Laura. I liked the whole enemies-to-lovers vibe with them at first with Carmilla being the uninvited guest/roommate evolving into caring and loving friends, culminating in a romance in the end - which was the obvious and logical progression for their dynamic. And honestly, that’s all I want from WLW representation. Not just the depth and fleshing out of characterization for both characters in the relationship, but also the reason and logic for them to be lovers in the first place. Which you rarely ever get these days because of the whole representation anxiety/ticking boxes issue. Just like there’d be reason and logic for straight characters to be together, there also should be for gay/queer characters to be together too. Or any romantic/sexual relationships represented in TV art/entertainment. You can’t just put them in just because it ticks a box. Thankfully this web series knows how to provide all of that so their relationship makes far more sense and doesn’t feel like it comes out of nowhere.

Great stuff! I’ll continue on to Season 2 tomorrow.

[chaesong-hwa]

we should bring back literary web series

[susandsnell]

By any chance have you ever seen the movie Dracula's Daughter? It's pretty gay, I think you would enjoy it.

I love it!!! I watched it in high school and then several times again during the pandemic for want of good lesbian vampire content!

Finished Season 3 of CARMILLA. And damn… that story escalated quickly. The intensity of the plot and all the missing pieces fit together in interesting ways.

And the acting - especially in that final act. The actor who plays the Dean possessing the body of Perry and LaFontaine’s hero moment to save her. And of course … the two leads, Carmilla and Laura and their deeper than expected love story once the stakes was raised into full out apocalypse. Even Danny, now a vampire, having a spur of the moment change of her non-beating heart. Everything was just so well written for a low budget supernatural/fantasy horror web series.

It was one hell of a final season and conclusion. I can see why it got a major movie, which I’m going to have to watch again now that I know and understand all that’s going on. What the entire story is even about.

And Hollstein are absolutely adorable. Natasha and Elise really make those characters very believable.

I loved it a lot. I enjoyed watching it very much. 😊
