Yes, I am familiar with crack_van. Tragically, hideously, addictively familiar. That community's name is definitely truth in advertising.

Hmmm. You're right, of course - the VSD really are required reading. On the other hand, you need to know the canon (or read a lot of FF in it) to get them, I think. Maybe I should have a classics or required reading section in addition to the easy stories for beginning readers (in this fandom)?
