Ok, so I read fanfiction. Occasionally I might add, before Leigh starts in on her "you read Star Trek porn" spiel. The ghastly truth is that yes, I got into it through Star Trek. And can I just tell you that the world of fanfic is peopled with terrifying writers with varying degrees of talent. From the sad no-hopers who's prose clunks down upon us to the the fangirl squee-ers with their millions of !!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ship names, you do sometimes get really brilliant fics, great stories in their own right, albeit based on someone else's imagination.
My forays to The Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet in my endless quest for Harry Potter news also led me to this topic on The Werewolf Registry, which is a terrifying world all of its own. My favourite has to be the rip off of Japanese graphic novels. So awesome.
The net really is a wonderful scary place.

I remember you and I writing some fanfiction in high school...
Dude...I thought we'd agreed never to mention that. You've invoked the murder-suicide pact. Why?
What murder-suicide pact? Does it involve you killing me because of the mentioning and then offing yourself because you addressed someone as dude?
Yes. Slaughtering the people who remind you of your youthful idiocy is the way forward.
