The Thing (1982 film)/Fanfic Recs

Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for here:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Fan Fics, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. No-name recommendations will be Zapped (wiki). Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into homosexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

 * Synopsis: The Thing from the point of view of the Thing.
 * Comments: Creepy as the film itself, and it explains several questions about the infection. Non-linear though, so you may want to brush up on the film's synopsis.

 * Comments: Has an entry on the creature from Who Goes There?, with an artist's impression of the monster that is arguably more scary than the one in The Thing.
