When you search the internet for "thirtysomething" and "fanfiction" you get a zillion responses, ranging from fanfiction about people in their 30s to fanfiction written by people in their 30s to fanfiction that addresses the lives of people in their 30s. Which is a tribute to Zwick & Herskovitz coining of a phrase, "thirtysomething," that lives on... but which also notes the sad, sad lack of fannish content w/r/t the awesome ABC/Bedford Falls television series "thirtysomething." (You know, the show that came before "My So-Called Life"?)
So if you miss Michael and Hope, Nancy and Elliot, life on the main line and work at DAA, please come and help stir up some good old fannish nostalgia for the show with the first gay kiss on network television.
