Fan fiction occupies a zone of taboo somewhere below cosplay and slightly above really aggressive S&M. In fact, I think the average lonely heart crafting Zelda in Ganon’s Clutches: Alone and Afraid closes his laptop a little faster than the guys leering at Tramps in Clamps upon parental incursion into A Room of One’s Pwn. It’s just hard to imagine a non-convention social setting where anyone would cop to Expanded Universe prolificacy. I don’t think the language necessary to frame the act of fan fic writing in terms that don’t sound crazy even exists. Maybe I just don’t know the right people, or words.

review of Final Fantasy VII for PSP.
Just, wow. It's a total drive-by on some random fan-thing he hates - fic has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Ding, ding, ding.
