Second, thanks to
And two more news bits that amuse me.
Not so new, but still a must read, is Valeria Fate's parody list "Deep Fanfic Thoughts, by Jack Handey." I have a soft spot for SNL's Jack Handey. In fact, I used to have a sign on my dorm room door with this "Deep Thought" quote: "Sometimes I wish I was dead. No wait. Not me. You." And see? It's still funny, over a decade later. I appreciate how Valeria Fate has captured the flavor of "Deep Thoughts" and applied it to fandom.
Here are three of my favorites:
If the Vikings were around today, they would probably be amazed at how we take male pregnancy fics completely for granted.
Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that, I'll be over here, taking your story and posting it as my own to another list.
If they had fanfic back in the Dark Ages, I bet the most common question readers would ask is, "Can't you put a catapult in this story?" No, I'm sorry. That would violate canon.
Go forth and read and smile. :)
