On Essential Writers, Kathleen Inglis described the play One Man Lord of the Rings, written by and starring Charles Ross, as a form of frenetic fan fiction fuelled by sheer bravado.

There were a couple of mentions on Examiner.com. Megan Wedge shared some of her favorite sexy "Twilight" fanfiction, and Erin Nolan, in a piece on how to connect with Grey's Anatomy fans on Facebook, wrote that one group is a notable […] for welcoming fan fiction in its discussion board.

On Daily Kos, keirdubois wrote the following, which I am too tired to try to make sense of, let alone contextualize: Fanfic writers have nothing on me. I wrote fanfic about my life, bitches. Was that good enough for UCI's Fiction MFA, long long ago? Of course not, but even though they were right to reject it, they can still go pound sand—because the best part of this is the book behind the book: all the other half-assed verbal barf I've written to warm up and cool down from doing fiction. In other words, blogging.

On the Watch with Kristin Blog on E! Online, Team WWK asked readers to choose their favorite TV friendship, adding We're strictly talking canon here, so any slashy business happens on your own fanfic-writing time...)

Finally, desertport pointed me toward a piece by Theresa “Darklady” Reed on m/m romances in Just Out: However it’s spun, fan-fiction demographics, especially those associated with gay-loving fiction, have long consisted predominantly of females of the straight or bi persuasion. Alas for writers within the genre, a messy little thing called trademark protection has kept those with genuine talent from releasing their erotic male pop culture icon work to the public at large.
