Mark Simpson is a delight. He's a total renegade in the gay "community," He hates the whole community thing as much as the rest of us. For some reason most of the authors I correspond with regularly online are gay men, mostly in the UK. You'd probably love Mark; he looks like an Eastender thug.
I'll comment separately on the Landa/Hellstrom/Haupsturmführer/Rent Boy fic since YOU'VE ACTUALLY READ AND COMMENTED ON IT!!! HOORAY! You may have noticed that the style in that one was not nearly as florid as "Stille Nacht." My style in general is usually not so florid.
I read fanfics pretty much for two reasons only: the porn, and to scout out young writers. So much of it is so bad that when I find a good one I always give encouragement as well as my beta/editing skills when requested. I love to beta people's English translations from German or Russian because I really enjoy working with the original langauge to ensure that the translation is as close as possible to the original. It hones my editing skills and improves both my Russian and German. But outside of the IB canon, I only read fanfics by writers I like. I now prefer finding original stories with Reich settings, preferably RPFs. Since Machiavelli sent me the swimsuit photo of Rommel I'm lusting after him even more than I already had been, so she very graciously sent me a link to an RPF.
And I'm still trying to find again that crazy slash fic about the British officer with the life-size Heydrich doll. I think he and Max Aue may have been separated at birth.
