Serving fandom in a very cool way

Some of you know I'm into slash (in short: dirty stories about hot men on scifi shows). Well, slash is a subset of a genre called fanfiction, itself a subset of something dubbed "transformative works" - original works based on existent materials. For example, Gregory Maguire's Wicked ("The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West") falls into this category, as it is an original piece of writing that used L. Frank Baum's Oz stories as a springboard.

Really, though, the Organization for Transformative Works can explain it better than I can, which is the point of this post: go check it out if you're into that sort of thing. The OTW seems like a really great idea and can use your support.

Obviously, the fans served by this post are not among the generated subsets of slash, fanfiction, or transformative works since I, for one, am a fan of snarky posts by a hot blogger who seems to have gone missing for a longer time than seems seemly. Git it on, gal. I miss you.
