You'll have to be careful with that. My daughter told me about some of the stuff that's out there. ICK!
I see by your profile that you're a folk music fan. Sir SuziQ and I were always amused, when we attended folk concerts, because we seemed to be the only conservatives in the crowd!
I checked out Godawful.net and saw the worst of the fanfiction; most of it is pretty bad; but supposedly there are some LOTR sites with decent fanfiction. I'm afraid I'll get there though and then need mind bleach to rid myself of the purple prose. Actually, I am not a big fan of folk music, I do like some of it but my taste is fairly eclectic--but I am a fan of the Hudson River and was interested in groups who wanted to keep it clean--that's how I got involved with Seeger's group. I can well imagine you were a bit outnumbered at a folk concert, knowing the people who populate the scene!
Hehe, "ick" is the best way to describe a lot of fanfiction. Personally, I always thought LotR fanfiction was just wrong... nobody writes like Tolkien, after all.
