Rec-post, or five reasons I like fandom better than off-line life right now

Merlin-related.
The Future Queen held a Fluff fest last week, and I made a prompt. And dfriendy wrote the cutest little Gwen-Merlin-Arthur-baby griffin ficlet based on it. And to make things even better, felix-aeternus made an adorable picture to accompany it.

Then Merlin multis came into being. Which made starry-laa post a list of A Hundred Reasons to Ship Gwen/Lancelot and plingo-kat to post a list of 10 reasons to ship Merlin/Lancelot.
And there was much rejoicing.

Changing fandoms (OK, I'm not actually in Doctor Who-fandom - haven't seen the classic series or Moffat-Who, just largish chunks of RTD-Who), [personal profile] lizbee wrote Irregulars (Mickey/Martha, PG-13). I know there was a dozen faults with the way that this pairing was executed on the show itself, but I love the idea of M/M, and this story fills in the blanks and makes it make sense.
And that's why I love fanfiction, period.
