Last night an idle delicious search prompted by Yuletide-born curiosity (there's a very amusing Mac & PC story in this year's Yuletide haul called Hanging Out, BFF, with a running joke about Vista security settings) showed me that there exists a plebe fandom for Mac/PC fic. There's usually badfic, now, but that doesn't mean there's always plebefic for everything. I didn't expect a community including 13-chapter epics, unintentionally funny authors' notes, and cut tags that look like "( -:¦:-•:*''''*:•.-:¦:-Let the Magic Begin-:¦:-•:*''''*:•-:¦:- )". When I followed a bookmark to the main community, that cut tag confronted me right on the main page, along with a high school AU and several pieces of fanart based on it. Also the line, "Ahh, Macintosh, now I finally have you in my grasp." The things you can find on the internet. I daren't look for the inevitable story about Mac and PC getting Ideas from slash about them. The creative use of USB ports was already a bit much for me.
