This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Thrive to spite them

Did she mean tone instead of tome because it would make a tiny bit more sense. I was expecting the great philosophy of the Beatles or Bruce Springsteen or maybe even Prince but John Mellancamp just seems so random.

Her writing reminds me of Mad Libs in a blender.

Art Crawl!!!

Are all the LFN fics from the same person? Or are Bad Fic writers just peculiarly drawn to LFN?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Everything I post is from the same person.

Sumi, is that a) good because you can avoid her like the plague for the good fic or b) good because you can now read all her works and laugh like a loon for weeks on end?

Some people I know keep hoping that this specific badfic writer will be revealed as an elaborate practical joke. I don't think the chances are good.

Oh, the John Cougar Mellencamp bit made me laugh and laugh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

While I don't turn my nose up at the thought of musicians as philosophers, I don't think those particular musicians are the sort that make little girls and boys scream with joy.

Though it's probably been a decade or two since John Cougar Mellencamp did, either. My theory that this writer is actually a 13 year-old girl just got shot in the back of the head, execution style.

Oh, people have met her. In person. She's not 13.
