Fisting Babyhand and the Lemon Sodomites!

This whole post and its comment thread at Fandom_Wank has me shrieking with laughter harder than anything else in fandom has in MONTHS, and right now I desperately needed a good laugh like you would not believe.

AWESOME.


So I ask my f-list: if you were going to troll a fic-search community in any of your fandoms, what incredibly OTT crack-fic summary would YOU write? And would it be very possibly a real fic that really exists?

If you were going to request a fic of mine but didn't remember it very well, how cracktastic could you make the summary?

If there was a crackfic in your fandom that doesn't really exist yet (as far as you know) but you really wish it did, how would you phrase a fake search request for it?

I think there's a mix of things. This person was posting requests to a ficsearch community for the most outlandish things she could think of--quite a few of which turned out to be real. The writers of the real fics felt mocked, and so did the people who spent time looking for stories that might not (or might) exist.

I can understand the irritation, but as fandom pranks go I think it's pretty harmless overall--and SGA is a notoriously cracky fandom, so this is kind of an homage in its weird way.

I've since decided that "lemon sodomites" are Dumbledore's real favorite candy. XD

Still... if they wrote things weird enough to qualify for those bizarre summaries... I dunno, I can't understand worrying so much about it. I can understand that the ones who did the research would feel a little put out. Digging through tons of fic for someone, in good faith, can be quite a task.

It might have been better just to find really cracky fics and then write crazy-ass summaries. Which is kind of fun.

*LOL* Oh that's just awesomely awful. XD
