    I'm surprised that no one has mentioned I.M.P.S.: The Relentless yet. Episode one was one of the best FanFics I have seen, now if episode 2 would just make it out.
    Though, having read a little bit, it sounds like it can't be entered as it is being done as a serious work, rather than a parody. I realize that Lucas technically needs to protect his franchise, but that just seems over the top; let the fans do your marketing for you, and pat them on the head once in a while, it won't hurt you that much.
