It's too many years since I've read Molesworth. I really must get a copy to replace the copy that's in storage... You're welcome to friend me, but be warned that a) this LJ's mostly mutterings about the progress or lack thereof on the profic, b) the stuff in the userinfo about not friending people back is *not* a joke.
There's plenty of good fanfic, but my god you have to wade through some crap to find it if you read online, unless you can find one of the archives that is selective about quality, or a reliable list of recs. (e.g. the Crack Van is reliable in some fandoms, but not in others.) A lot of the official franchise books are dire, and in fact one of my selection criteria for franchise books is to find ones by authors whom I happen to know have written good fanfic.
As for turning the fantasy world upside down... Quote from Mary Gentle: "There are worse ways to get ideas than "bloody hell, if I see another noble, well-mannered, singing elf I'm gonna HURL!"" You might well enjoy her "Grunts!" :-)
