Quite a cutting remark

If you're not already familiar with slash fiction, this Wikipedia article should broaden your horizons a bit. Unsurprisingly, the concept of slash fanfiction originated with the original Star Trek, and some of the fans' desire to see Kirk/Spock go at it like a couple of crazed baboons in heat.

Well, I have hit the mother lode of fanfiction on the internet, and that includes slash fiction. Unsurprisingly, Harry Potter dominates both regular fanfiction and slash fanfiction on that site, utterly eclipsing all other topics, even the venerable Star Trek itself. (and I'm a bad geek, I went to the movie section first when looking for Harry Potter)

It's a treasure trove of all kinds of fiction in there, and if you can think of a piece of fiction, the chances are strong someone here has made a fanfiction for it here. There's Futurama, Marvel Zombies (which is something that should have been bad, bit ended up being totally awesome), Sonic the Hedgehog (a surprisingly popular choice) and Mighty Ducks, just to name a few.

Oh, and I would like to thank XKCD for today's inspiration.

Unrelated, and I didn't explore this site, but it looks up your alley.

Why is it called Judo Defense? I don't know. Is it as weird as most of the stuff here? Not really. But I stumbled across is (How? A Google redirection from a search related to DUI attorneys. No shit.) Are they really doing Judo? I have no idea.

But somebody is getting off on it.

That's excellent! Actually, that's one I kind like for myself. Nothing like a woman that could kick your ass...
