Fanfiction Thread
Following the Phoenix is an absolutely excellent "single-/dual-point-of-departure spinoff" from HPMOR, starting from HPMOR's Chapter 81.
I have found it very good reading; it really feels very original-flavor, as if it's what Eliezer could have potentially chosen to write instead of the path he chose to take.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Zombie is another good HPMoR elsefic, albeit one built for a drastically different purpose than its proceeding works. It also has the pleasant attribute of being very short. Caveat: it has spoilers up to the end of Chapter 89.
The same author's Metropolitan Man is longer, and significantly less optimistic, but might still be of interest to those who enjoy The Philosopher's Zombie
Wait a minute, there's such a thing as fan fiction of fan fiction? What a time to be alive.
There's whole ficverses that usually get built around a popular enough fanfic.
That's even more usual when the fic in question introduces a unique enough setting: e.g. most relevant to LessWrong would be The Optimalverse, the ficverse built around Friendship is Optimal, but I imagine the ficverse built in the setting of "Fallout: Equestria" to be the biggest one by far.
This thing goes back at least to the 90s and Adam Cadre's take on Stephen Ratliff's rather special Star Trek TNG fanfiction.
