There was Angel/The host fic around somewhere lol...for all those Angel fans.

Whats even funnier is that the actors know about it and often joke about reading it.

Right I am bookmarking this and will have a browse one day.

I did fancy Angel AND Spike after all, so maybe it will be interesting

Thanks rusty and shanks!

oh sorry I missed that

that's okay then

Prefer a nice Mills and Boon myself, methinks. This stuff looks awful!

MP Rusty's DH writes captain scarlet fan stuff...

She said earlier!

There was a hilarious puppet sex scene on the Thunderbirds spoof 'Team America: World Police'. Just tried to find it on Youtube but it doesn't seem to be there.

I have some friends who write a lot of it. One started with Buffy and then expanded into original characters. Eventually puslished with an erotica small press.

I'm not a fan of Slash or any kind of Fan fiction in general, but there used to be a site dedicated to the worst of it, Godawful Fan Fiction, which I liked for a laugh.

Well, as standard as you can get when your characters are all a foot high and made of wood.

WHAT? Bill and Ben slashfic? That is just wrong

RustyBear · 05/02/2009 20:28

MT - like I said, DH doesn't write slash, just standard fanfic.

Well, as standard as you can get when your characters are all a foot high and made of wood.

But he does write under a feminine name, for no reason that he has ever satisfactorily explained ....

morningpaper · 05/02/2009 20:23

not ME

Apparently there is Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie slash fic! hoho

There is Thomas the Tank slash somewhere

morningpaper · 05/02/2009 20:19

Franny once posted a photo of her spare room that was suspiciously full of printed matter

DH's early work?

Isn't it supposed to be by women for women?

I'm currently working my way through this lot - but I should warn you that a high percentage is excruciatingly bad....

And in case anyone is actually interested DH's early work

RustyBear · 05/02/2009 19:44

Mostly male esp the Torchwood, as they have a head start with Captain Jack & Ianto! But some of the Buffy is femslash.

DH writes Captain Scarlet fanfic, with some crossovers into other Gerry Anderson & Dr Who, but definitely not slash, rather to my relief, bearing in mind that most of his characters are actually puppets. In fact it must be pretty difficult to write any sex scenes for say Captain Scarlet and Rhapsody Angel - you'd always be wondering how to stop the strings getting tangled.....

tumtumtetum · 05/02/2009 19:33

Hmmmm interesting...

Wonder if that would be my cup of tea...

On the face of it I'm thinking not, but you don't know until you've tried

is it on the internet?

shanks313 · 05/02/2009 19:27

Male for me tum tum

There is femslash too

bran · 05/02/2009 19:27

I've heard of it through Mumsnet (I've learned more here than I ever did at university). I'm not that keen on it, but perhaps I just haven't read any good stuff.

tumtumtetum · 05/02/2009 19:24

Never heard of it before but Wiki reveals all!

Out of interest rusty and shanks, are the ones you read about the male ones shagging? Or do they have other ones with opposite sex? Just interested really...
