A few weeks ago my sister fell down the rabbit hole into writing original ebook erotica/porn (which I may advertise at you when she has herself a bit more organized), and has been doing a bunch of research on and around the topic.
Today she sent me this text:
Just discovered Omegaverse. And the J2 SPN and 1D fandoms within. What. The. Actual. Fuck. Someone needs to write a dissertation about this and feminism, stat.
After I stopped laughing (very quietly, because I am at work), I sent her back:
Oh you sweet summer child... :)
http://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc
Also http://fanlore.org/
Also also, look up kinkmemes :)
...
Possibly that was cruel of me. But really, I could have done a LOT worse if I'd had some of my bookmarked fics readily to hand. :D

ETA: She just wrote back:
Omg I sense another rabbit hole... See you in 3 years when I'm done reading
She has good instincts. :)
-----
ETA 2: She called tonight to tell me her pen name, and I told her about Chuck Tingle. >:D
