It's hard to believe these days, but once there was a time when I wasn't into anime fanfiction. This was mostly due to the fact that I hadn't gotten into watching anime yet. I was, however, into fanfic, and actually got into anime because of a crossover story between a certain series and Sailor Moon.
The name of the series was... Babylon 5.
Between anime becoming easier for me to see more of and Babylon 5 becoming hard for me to see any of, I fell out of that fandom pretty quickly. But some of the tastes I developed in those days stuck, and have continued to stick.
One of these was "self-insert fanfics where the author has fun with it". Admittedly, I hadn't run into the stuff where the author is *depressing* about it yet, but I already knew I liked the having fun part.
Another was for stories involving transfictionality.
I had the great fortune of discovering a set of stories that combined these two things. (Well, it might *not* be a SI, but it makes certain things a bit more conceptually involved if it is, which in this case I consider good...)
The name of *this* series is Infinite Regress.
The only ones I've really focused on are "Infinite Regress 1" and "Infinite Regress 1b: DoubleCross". (Others weren't finished when I originally was watching this, and some are for series I don't know anyway.) Note that the latter is Babylon 5/ST![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif)
S9, not Power Rangers or Animorphs.
The writing isn't without it's flaws (which the author is quite open about), but it's fun to read, and there are a lot of interesting ideas involved. (Including a *much* more restrained look at what sort of trouble someone might get into in the world of a series they're a fan of than... well, probably pretty much any other time I've seen it done. '.' )
-Morgan. And the SM crossover I mentioned in the first paragraph? That would be "Sailor Babylon". I'm not sure I'd find it so impressive now... if I knew where to find it. '.'"Mikuru-chan molested me! I'm... so happy!"
-Haruhi, "The Ecchi of Haruhi Suzumiya"
