Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love the gentle understatement:

A lot of alien plants turn out to produce pollen with powerful aphrodisiac effects. You'd be amazed.

And never even mind the fucking witches!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Is "I [fucking] hate witches" canon or fanon?

Canon. Woefully overused, but canon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I love sex pollen.

My favourite is angsty sex pollen where the pollened guy really doesn't want to do it, but then through his reluctance realises that the chosen partner is actually into it themselves.

Or, maybe when there's been bunches of UST and now it's going to be hella awkward.

Or, really, when there's sex pollen.

I'm with Dana.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That is a great article. So much better than the ones that came before

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I would actually consider pointing people to that one.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I understand the author set up a journal where he asked people in the fanfic community for input, and he was vetted by someone with the Organization for Transformative Works.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

In one of those minus-breadcrumbs sideslips through FoF journals, I came upon this rather lengthy essay on fandom and fic. It starts out about the western, which I know is anathema to many, but only to use the demise of the western to illustrate the possible, even probable course of fandom, and fic, in the future. I thought some might find it interesting. It's here.
