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.

I think it was Cassandra Claire (but I may be wrong) who had a fanfic story where every line (or almost every) of dialouge was ripped from a tv show, movie, or book. There was stuff from Red Dwarf and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and all kinds of things. Not obscure quotes either but recognizable ones.

Someone found it and there were claims of "oh I must have just heard them and absorbed it and not realized it" and then later a author's note about how it was a "Game" for her readers to find the quotes and she listed the sources.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yep! That's her. Also, she lifted stuff wholesale from Pamela Dean.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The real gold, as always, is gonna be the FFA threads. Dememe doesn't seem to catch the first one. I will grab links.

I remember how weak it was and actually it's pretty much the same argument that she's making now. I read it and forgot it and then I saw something and it reminded me and blah blah.

I think Fanlore has good documentation for those who didn't live through all of her shenanigans: [link]

A Small War. They've chased each other across battlefields, across borders, across decades. Peggy/Dottie (Agent Carter). Hawt.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Which is more mind-blowing- An AU Crossover Fic of Rainbow Rowell's Carry On and Harry Potter, or one of Carry On and Cassandra Clare? The first is like Inception and the second makes me sad.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

So there's this section, “Surrounding the building was a perfectly-manicured lawn punctuated trees and tastefully-cut bushes surrounding its perimeter”,

Which, this is petty, but, to whose taste? There's formal, there's naturalistic, but what is a tastefully hedged shrub? Who's taste? What year? /gardener disassociation.

So LTLJ is posting a Leverage/Stargate crossover, set in the Retrograde universe. Is those words mean anything to you, you will squeak with as much happiness as I just did.
