Over on fanfiction.net we have an MFU community that includes a forum and community for discussions and posting of stories. It isn't used as much now as when we first started it, which was partly in response to a series of interruptions here on LJ; it was the springboard to Section VII.
The Community site was intended as a launching pad of sorts where readers could find stories by members of the forum. We got as far as collecting some First Stories, although it is not a complete list of those who have participated.
Some of the stories you may have read, some may be new to you. I hope you'll take a look and see where some of us started this journey.
