Fanfic Collective Nouns

It hit me today. A whine of Mary Sues. :-)

What other fic related collective nouns can you think of?

ETA: from the peanut gallery:

A Whine of Mary Sues - moi
A dinghy of 'shippers - sidlj
A clot of vampires - delphia2000
A leash of BDSM fics - wraith816

Na... the whining about not getting enough reviews and how everyone's so mean kinda overrides the sparkly bits. :-)

I just looked up a list of collective nouns for inspiration. Apparently one for larks is an ascension. I'm still parsing out the Daniel joke in there...

(a leash of BDSM fics?)

There's got to be a joke in there somewhere.

"Why *did* you go with Oma."

"Oh, I thought it would be a bit of a lark." (Only works for Brit writer, though. :-)

BTW a slew is a large number or amount or extent
