===Fanfiction===
* But Where Would They Live? and The Dreams That You Dare To Dream, crack McKay/Sheppard in which Rodney is a unicorn, John is a rainbow, Teyla is a dolphin, and Ronon is a breeze -- frequently cited as proof that SGA fandom is unsurpassed in its concentration of crack 
* always should be someone you really love, McShep, genderfuck, in which both McKay and Sheppard are turned into women -- often discussed in meta on genderfuck, this story addressed a number of genderfuck tropes the author found troubling. "Bending Gender: Feminist and (Trans)Gender Discourses in the Changing Bodies of Slash Fan Fiction", Alexis Lothian and Kristina Busse in Internet Fictions, ed. Hotz-Davies, Kirchhofer and Leppanen, (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2009) pp. 116-119.
* A Beginner's Guide to Vulcan Sexual Practices, by Captain James T. Kirk, Star Trek (2009), Kirk/Spock -- written in response/protest to a community, kinkfreezoneBest LJ Community Of All Time! Accessed 10th January 2010., whose list of disallowed 'kinks' in fic to be posted there, due to the misapplication of a list of 'fandom kinks' written by someone else for another purpose, included such things as 'eye contact'. The story explores the meaning of the concept of 'kink', with both characters coming to the realization that anything can be kinky to anyone, including the total absence of 'kinks'
* Known Associates, MCU, posted 2016. This long fic provides backstory reimagining Steve Rogers sexual identity and relationships in the context of queer and radical political history, and then the contemporary (thawed) times. The AO3 post includes a bibliography.
* How I Survived My Summer Vacation, by Tamika Flynn, Age 12 3/4, Welcome to Night Vale, posted 2013. This fic is one of the most-kudosed works in the WTNV fandom on AO3, and has inspired several other pieces of fanart and fanfic. Based on Episode 28 of the podcast, Summer Reading Program, the story imagines the events of the deadly 'summer reading program' in which Tamika Flynn and a number of other children were trapped inside a library, battling vicious librarians and completing their reading charts. The fic pairs Tamika with an original female character, Beatrice Wong.
===Vids===
* The Glass, multifandom -- a meta vid which takes its central metaphor from Henry Jenkins' well-known commentary on Spock's notoriously slashy death scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in Strange_Bedfellows_(APA)/Issue_001, "slash is what happens when you take away the glass."Normal Female Interest in Men Bonking: Selections from The Terra Nostra Underground and Strange Bedfellows Accessed 10th January 2010.
* One-Night Fandoms, vid made with eruthros -- a tribute to Yuletide in vid form, this is surely one of the most 'multi' multifandom vids of all time, drawing from over one hundred rare fandoms 
* a lieutenant colonel is being beaten, SGA -- vid commenting on aspects of John Sheppard's character and (fanon and canon) characterization
* Finite Simple Group (of Order Two), Better Off Ted
