Half a page, half a page
Half a page written
All in the vale of fanfic,
Writ' by those smitten.
'Forward, the AU Brigade,' she said:
Into the vale of fanfic,
By strange thoughts bitten.

'Forward the AU Brigade!'
Was there an author dismayed?
Not though the reader knew
Someone had blundered!
Vampires – what luck:
Rent boys making a buck…
'What in the fuck'
As they read,
'Are they on?' others wondered.

Canon to the left of them
Canon to the right of them
Canon in front of them
As fans snarked and thundered
'It's unlikely as hell'.
Boldly they wrote to tell
Their unusual tale,
The AU hundreds.

When will their glory fade?
O the wild tales they made,
All the web wondered.
Honour the stories they made,
Honour the AU Brigade,
All the cracked hundreds.
