It's... not really a Watchmen riff. There's no giant squid, no-one learns their father was a despicable person, no super-powered being learning to regain their connection to humanity via the randomness of probability. No psychiatrist gets told about harsh reality of uncaring world. Oh, sure, one of the main characters turns out to be the villain, but they're not doing it to try and prevent a war. And they don't have a large group of duped artists and scientists assisting them. None of the characters single-handedly manage to change technology and innovation. And no-one has sex in an owl-themed airship.
It has a bunch of old-timey characters, one of whom is murdered and the others investigate, but that sure ain't unique to Watchmen and Watchmen alone.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
