Fay, these are awesome!
Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
OOH, I'd missed the first one somehow. LOVE
You guys - who coined this phrase: "Do not meddle in the affairs of slashers, for you are cute and go well with other men?"
I'm wanting to say Shrift, or possibly Connie? Or has it just been a fannish phrase since the dawn of time, and it was just that I heard it first from one of them and thought it was an original shaft of wit?
I'm thinking Connie.
I think it derives from "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."
No, I don't know where that one comes from either.
Aha! Thank you, Google. Google says "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." comes from Tolkein, so I'd bet everything else is a descendant of that.
I'm thinking Connie.
As in me? I don't think so, but I'll be happy to claim it.
Huh. In that case I don't know who the original riff came from.
Google has that phrase all over fandom, all credited to "unknown" or "anon."
A friend of mine used to have two refrigerator magnets: "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, it makes them soggy and hard to light" and "Do not throw matches in the toilet for they are subtle and quick to anger."
