What is it, in summary?: A sequel to the classic sitcom Full House. Widowed DJ raises her three sons with the help of Stephanie, Kimmy, Kimmy's ex-husband Fernando and daughter Ramona, and sometimes her own three dads and aunt Becky. There's a love triangle between her, old flame Steve, new hunk Matt, and later Steve's new girlfriend CJ, and the kids are dealing with their own stuff as well.
What do you love about it?: Because it's so shamelessly referential to the old series, but very much its own thing. The characters are a lot of fun, the love triangle is actually pretty well-done and doesn't take up too much of the series, the appearances from Danny, Jesse. Joey, and Becky. Also it has a dog.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Gen fic about the whole Fuller family, DJ/Steve, Lola/Ramona, Rocki/Jackson, anything with the Gibbler family, Kimmy and Joey bonding, Jimmy/Stephanie, Kimmy/Stephanie, Max/Rose, AU where Michelle actually showed up from time to time.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Any episodes from the early seasons featuring Lola, any major Steve/DJ, Kimmy-Stephanie, Jimmy/Stephanie, or Gibbler-related episodes, anything that goes heavy on the callbacks to the first series.
