This link below comes from someone who writes a lot of different sorts of stories as if various actors she likes have been dropped into alternature universes. They may look the same, may have many of the same skills and attributes, but the story is so different that you could publish it professionally just by adapting names. She also writes in different story series, posting episodes in overlapping, labeled pieces. Part 1 of one story and part 3 of another may overlap in time in her lj. In addition, she co-writes with other people, and this link is one of the cooperative series of stories. This one happens to be set in the West (and it's called that) during the nineteenth century, in a cathouse run by a woman with a past. She's given shelter to a guy who was beaten nearly to death--which one reads in an earlier set of posts which were very impressive. I don't think you have to have all the background that exists inthe prior stories, but it does make this ricker, more textured, even more convincing. I don't think I've ever read a more effective abusive-husband scene. http://www.livejournal.com/community/west__trips/4172.html#cutid1%22
Another comment remarked there isn't any critical supporrt for fanfic. In fact there is rather a lot of critical thought developed about fanfic from within the community; there's been scholarly source books written about it. Many of them are considering it an interaction with the primary source, a conversation with the source material and with fellow fans. This one discusses what slash really is, in the context of het slash, of all things. http://www.drizzle.com/~gwyneth/morestuff/hetslash.html
I would point you toward

I would point you toward <ljuser=stewardess> as one of the better writers as well, but in what's left on her lj, I might not be doing her justice. Because of a fan's really bad plagiarism and her own need to make some money to live on, her best work has been withdrawn from the net. She's going to rewrite it as completely original characters. Here's her explanation: http://www.livejournal.com/users/stewardess_lotr/73385.html
Another one of the better, harsher writers: http://www.twistedchick.org/stories/index.htm If you ever doubted that handicapped sex could be hot stuff, then I should point out this one among that collection: http://www.twistedchick.org/stories/shortbread/janus.htm There's lots more great writers out there, this is what I grabbed in a hurry tonight. For what it's worth, some more sources, mostly slashy: http://seacouver.slashcity.net/taz/fuse.html http://seacouver.slashcity.net/elynross/index.html http://mediafans.org/rachael/ http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/#misc
