You definitely did it right! I loved your review/overview and you hit some of the most important points about the show and the M/N pairing.
LFN was indeed a 'feral fandom' as you put it-I thikn that might be due to the way the episodes were so far apart for so many countries. I for one, being in Canada, dropped out of fandom at some point because I had to wait an extra 6-9 months to see the extra 8 episodes.
In terms of finding good fic, I agree that a lot of it can be really bad. There is however, some good stuff out there, authors who have managed to capture the unique rhythms of Section and the characters. I for one always had a hard time with portrayls of Michael, especially. He is so laconic that authors who write him as speaking all the time or speaking in non-Michael rhythms really throw me off.
Thanks so much for posting this! I think I'm going to go pull out some tapes and watch the season 3/4 arc.
