Subject: Fan-Fiction

Fan-Fiction

These are sites where fanfic stories are accepted and/or archived. Some simply fill in gaps in the real timeline, while others create new teams and characters in a divergent timeline. At this point in time, there are *way* too many links for me to sift through and deal with. So, I'll just highlight a few major links; look through them for *tons* of links to archives, writing groups, individual stories, and the like.

Internet Relay Chat

Many comics fans like to chat on IRC. There are a few different channels which might meet your needs. Get a client like mIRC or IRCle and you'll be ready to go! If you have a unix account, just try typing irc at the prompt.

To get on a specific server, type /server foo.bar.net and it'll send you to that server. To join a specific channel, just type /join #channelname ... Got it? Some channel regulars also have pages.
