yeah, that fic was special. :) I don't know how they managed to get all those POVs into a couple paragraphs. I can see how you can accidentally slide from 3rd limited, to 3rd omniscient but how do you get 2nd person in there at all? Which is really an odd way to write (at least for me) and not once in school did we even cover writing it.
Fandom is rather viral. You can see trends especially in plots. After that episode when Faith and Buffy switched bodies we were overrun with fics about body switching. In HP when the group WIKTT issues a challenge the same thing happens. They're specifically a Hermione/Snape group but inevitably someone will rework the challenge to fit other pairings as well. Usually there ends up with so many fics that look so much a like I can't tell one from the other. (Not kidding here, go to AFF.net and look for Marriage Law fics, they're all practically identical).
