Hi flist!

If you are currently writing/planning on writing something in the genderfuck crack!verse, please leave a comment here so that we can keep track of who's writing what and taking place when. Also, tell anyone who you know is writing/planning on writing something.

Awesome, thanks.

Title: Women I Have Loved
Fandom (s): FMA, BSG, Superman, House, LotR
Word count: 841
Character(s): Hawkeye, Roslin, Lois, Cuddy, Eowyn
Notes: Okay, [livejournal.com profile] queenzulu pointed out that girls don't get enough love in fandom, so this is my own love letter to awesome female characters. Five characters. Five unconnected ficlets. There may be more of these coming, but these are the first five.

On the subject of crack, how do various people define it? Because I, personally, think that a lot of people in the House fandom have it kind of off. Somewhere, someone was comparing it to parody, and I was thinking, wait, no, they're nothing alike at all.

In my mind, parody is about exaggerating the show as it is or maybe common fanon of the show in order to make it funny.

Crack is all about taking some external, bizarre thing and inserting it into your universe so that the character reactions are funny. Like, turning everyone into girls! Or random dinosaurs! Or truth serums! Or more dinosaurs! Or robots! While the show/characters may be exaggerated to bring the funny, it's not to the same degree or with the same attitude.

I've seen parodies labeled crack, though, and just simple comedy labeled crack, and I think I've seen a few people asking what exactly the hell crack fic is supposed to mean. So yeah, maybe I'm just thinking about this all wrong. What do you guys think?
