Part of the fun of writing Alternaverse fics is taking the canon storyline - and in many cases, the canon dialogue - and messing it all up beyond words. Vicious? Oh, certainly. But for the sake of academic propriety - and for those who aren't obsessive enough about ElfQuest to recognize every reference off the bat - I feel it's only fair to list my sources. So here is a cheat sheet of all the rip-offs in Alternaverse fiction, with fics listed in chronological order. If you don't see your favorite fic then there's no direct pirating at work, just a lot of carefully researched character development courtesy of Wingthing ;)
