After looking up the definition I have decided my goal for today is to find a way to work this word into a conversation without making it sound forced.
Someday, somewhere, classes will be taught and degrees earned regarding the (ig)noble history of Fanfic and all its subgenres: slash, hurt/comfort, gen, AU, PWP, fluff, bandfic and so forth. Can’t you just see it? It’s glorious! “…and speaking today at Harvard’s graduating Class of 2147 opening ceremonies is DarkkCorset314, Mpreg Professor Emeritus and author of Holier Than Thou: The Secret Papal Fanfiction Works of the Twenty-first Century…..”
“Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart” is *totally* Chrétien de Troyes’ Camelot fanfic with a Marty Stu self-insert. Dante’s “Divine Comedy” could be considered cross-over fic, and it’s blatantly a self-insert to boot. 😉
The whole idea that settings or characters belong to an author is fairly modern.
Chekov’s Fanfic.
Holy crap – she sheds Green Tears of Joy!
Smut saves the day, somehow
Smut always saves the day.
…..and it saves the day twice on Thursday!
Remember Rule 39!
Rule 39: “One day even this fanfic will be considered a cultural treasure…”
I wish we could erase previous texts. Remember Rule 34!
I dunno. I kind of like Selentic’s Rule 39.
I need to save up cash I can get more U.N.I.T.Y smut Made.
I really, really, want to do a Skin Horse filk of Tom Lehrer’s “Smut” here, but altering that first verse defeats me.
It’s a twisted genius who can twist a phrase like that. Bravo!
Athwart.

Chekov? William Buckley! (tho I wouldn’t have expected old Bill to turn up on this nook of the Internet.)
Could be his son, Christopher. He’s a heck of a writer of his own.
But it was William who stood athwart history yelling stop.
William Buckley is a constant in all universes
And thus Alt Unity’s evil scheme is athwarted.
This strip had me laughing out loud for several minutes – there are so many levels to this. Thank you both, Jeff and Shaenon!
She carried that slashfic around in her pockets?
Wouldn’t you?
I suppose if one is going to write that kind of thing, the way to do it *is* “barely.”
Maybe fanfic porn “just happen” to show up for Unity, like Mel and hammers.
Oh right POCKETS. Pockets are definitely what UNITY would carry something around in.
… definitely.
I guess Biomass Unity is buying into it…”a little bitty tear let her down…”
Could be a prison tat for murder.
Huh. Biomass-Unity is apparently leaking swamp juice from her fingers into the paper.
Eventually the world will ask for the apocalypse back.
Perhaps one day, but not yet.
“I know how to serve papers!”
“What do you use it for?”
“Serving fanfics”
Not with fava beans and a nice Chianti?
Fanfiction: Worse than even the Zika virus.
Barely!

I’ve heard it argued in Academia that the Book of Mormon could be considered the most successful fanfic based off the Bible.
Academia is a nice place, but only if you’re not trying to get tenure.
I totally believe it.
…and now I’ve decided that, in the unlikely event that I should someday get the chance to name a brand-new country, I’m going to call it Academia.

Already a fanfic is the longest by word count piece of fiction
And it’s for super smash brothers of all things
Sometimes I think this is the only comic that really gets me.
*pokepoke*
This thing on?
The number you have reached is no longer in service.
This flight will resume when an adequate supply of lemon scented napkins has been acquired.
That’s a terrifying comment to make. How many years would be put into suspended animation until that happens?
So…no update this morning? (Wasn’t on GoComics, either…)
I am picturing thousands of people, all channeling Roger Rabbit in the “Shave and a Haircut” scene…
This is when you find out you’re an addict.
…or that you’re in love.
