About:

A long time ago, in a community far far away,

pith proposed a challenge to her fellow discontents, former fans of Laurell K. Hamilton (LKH). Lo, she said. (Or perhaps it was yo: she has lousy enunciation.) LKH hath committed folly, for publicly hath she proclaimed that no more characters in the Anitaverse shall die. Verily, I say unto thee, she is foolish and ignorant amongst writers, for she refuses to kill her darlings. For this reason are we assembled, for it falls to us to right this most grievous wrong. Yea, we must kill her darlings.

Okay. So it wasn't quite like that. But it was close. Sort of. Anyway, we decided that the Anitaverse (and the Merryverse) needed a crew cull. The result? Fanfic that was hilarious and well-written—and in some cases, more canonically faithful than LKH has been of late. Since the response was so spirited, it spawned this community—

killherdarlings.

killherdarlings focusses primarily on LKH deathfic—not LKH's death, mind you, but her characters'. Snarky fic is also welcomed. Absolutely no happy fic allowed. Violence, slash, het—pretty much anything goes . . . as long as there's death and/or snark involved. The tone can be light or dark, serious or funny, etc. Although we're primarily about fanfic, other fanworks—poetry, icons, vids, etc.—are welcome as well, as long as there's death and/or snark. This is NOT a discussion community: for snarky talk, please visit our sire,

lkh_lashouts. For all varieties of LKH fanfic (not just death and/or snark), please visit our affiliate,

deathink.
