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

Because books.

Interesting discussion of 50 Shades of Grey, which Vintage just picked up after the author really successfully self-published it, and which started life as Twilight fanfic.

What's interesting is that Vintage is saying this is completely original, even though the Dear Author blog did a comparison between it and the original fic, and it's barely been changed at all, aside from the names.

The bigger question is, does it matter that it started as Twilight fanfic? It was so AU that it bore very little resemblance to the story of Twilight aside from the characters' names.

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

Why would Vintage take that position, since it's so trivially disproven? Because they think the people that disagree won't get heard or taken seriously?

Maybe. Most likely they don't care because they think they're going to make big money off it.

I don't know if anyone here is in XMFC fandom or not, but here's a brilliant fic on the XMFC kink meme done to all the tunes from Once More, With Feeling. [link]

Is anyone here in or familiar with Avengers movie fandom? I was just exposed to my first Thor+young Loki, and I was wondering if I stumbled into a tiny pocket of interest, or there's a sizable contingent for whom young Loki (hanging with or banging) adult Thor is a thing.

Supernatural fandom is the only place I am routinely exposed to unilateral age regression, but it does seem to vary who they de-age, and I don't see many people actually shipping it during that period.

I'm curious.

ita !, the Infamous BlueJay is pretty heavily into the Avengers movie fandom, so I'll ask her.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I avoid all Thor/Loki (and really, all Loki), so I couldn't tell you.

Not enough Clint, is my complaint.

I cannot seem to avoid the Thor/Loki, and I'm not interested it in the least. Boggled hard when I saw the adult Thor/underage Loki NC-17 fanart, because halloo with the not expecting it.

Now I keep seeing kid Loki all over the place, and I can't work out if I stumbled into a rabbit hole, or this is what the terrain really looks like.
