Heart of Smurfness

Lee Goldberg points us at an AV Club adventure into the heart of fanfiction. It's not Warren-Ellis-level "Don't Look!", but I personally will not sleep as well at night knowing that Smurf fanfic exists.

    Wow! Fan fiction for You've Got Mail.

    I didn't see that one coming. Then again if Sci-Fi fans can carry on the adventure by writing further stories for Star Wars, why can't romance fans do the same with You've Got Mail. I would imagine it would be romance fans.

    I don't go searching for the stuff to get any sort of 'fix', but I remember once finding a whole section of Star Trek fan fiction dedicated to the repeated death of Wesley Crusher. Some of those stories were very funny.

    P.S. thanks for the tips on the phone call scene.

    Fan fiction for a movie that's a remake of a remake! What I want to do is The Shop Around The Corner fanfic. That'll blow ya'lls puny minds.

    Forget the Smurfs. If people can write stories about PONG then they'll write stories about *anything*.

    Vadish slash-fic! Or maybe a Pepe/Mrs. Matechek smackdown.

    At least it keeps them busy and not flooding agents with their stuff.

    Although...

    There is Daily Show fanfic out there, as spotted by a metafilter thread yesterday. It's slash.

    So is the NASCAR fanfic and the Harry Potter/George Bush story they found.

    Two words - "Chakotay's Pillow".

    A piece of unintentionally hysterical Star Trek Voyager fan fiction that spawned a whole series of copycats. If Smurf fan fiction creeps you out, googling the above two words will send you into a blinding spiral of madness.

    I think the young lady who came up with the review "You have no life... Writing about Smurfs... GO EAT A MUFFIN OR SOMETHING" pretty much took the words out of my mouth.

    I'm so very disturbed by this. I need to go bleach my brain now.

    Sorry, man, I had to yank that one. Not for taste, particularly, but that phrase was stuck in my head for two goddam days. Damn you.

    Rogers, want something to google?

    Try "fanfic" & "L word".

    Enjoy.

    (No, I don't write it, or read it, I just know about it.)
