Mina De Malfois
A satire of all things bad and good in fandom. Mina De Malfois — "Big Name Fan of at least two fandoms" — chronicles the exciting life of a prolific fanfic author, as well as the comings and goings of the Sanguinity fandom and the fanfic archive Penn'd Passions, which is run by Mina's friend Arc. Manages the feat of being not only a tongue-in-cheek portrayal of fandom, but also an entertaining story on its own as the reader becomes familiar with the universe and the cast. Pastiches PG Wodehouse heavily at the beginning, but rapidly develops its own style.
