This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Our two data points agree about the convention episode, apparently. I'm not sure I recall my data point's reaction to Yellow Fever, but I acutely disliked the episode and probably tried to avoid discussing it.
(My gaming-fannish data point thought the convention episode was one of the best things ever. Like me, he was, I believe, having Acute Flashbacks.)
I would have called my sister a fannish-adjacent data point, since she knows about my shenanigans. But she dove deep into the world of Brokeback Mountain gay fic and hasn't surfaced yet, so I think she's exposed herself to all sorts of tinhattery.
She watched the first half of the convention episode and thought it was very funny--but Supernatural will never be for her because they're brothers.
My non-fannish data point also thought the con ep was hilarious. (He also has issues with my large internet presence, but that is a Protect Your Privacy issue, not a You People Are Weird issue.) I don't remember a strong reaction to Yellow Fever.
Wasn't Yellow Fever the episode concluded with that impromptu rendition of "Eye of the Tiger"? IMHO, funniest thing ever. So glad they aired it.
Snape won the childhood fanon pain poll. I can dig it.
I was thinking about Cassandra Cain today. I know they weren't doing comics, but she's got to be up there. Her father shot her in canon. I can only imagine what fic does.
This is mainly for Bev, who likes the Sulu/Chekov, but for anyone who likes cavity-inducing, ovary-twinging, mpreg+kid!fic. I laughed until I cried, seriously: [link]

Summary: When Pavel said that he wanted eight children so they needed to start right now, Hikaru thought he was joking.
This is a really silly fanfic about Rahm Emanuel and a LOLcat. But I got a laugh...I thought y'all would too. [link]
AO3 if for fic only, right? Is there a similar resource for fanvids?
Not yet, though vids and art are eventually part of AO3's grand plan. The closest might be an LJ community like vidding, where you can search by tag.
Thanks. I'll hit that up tonight. I get a jones periodically for shippery vids.
