Glove!Love - HIGNFY fandom
Community for Have I Got News For You fanfiction and discussion of a slashy nature. Don't look at us like that. (If you are unclear about what 'slash' is, perhaps edge away now.)
HIGNFY slash fanfic began happening on the internet, to the best of anyone's knowledge, in 2004. It seemed wrong, and yet so right. In the early days of fandom some fanon grew up (including the reason for this community name), and a Geek!Ian list was begun. Classic fanfiction, icons, and squeeage can also be found in the memories.
Once upon a time the fandom was sad that it had not yet had a flamewar and was thus not a Proper Fandom, but perhaps it is extra-magical and cuddly and can survive without one. One was once attempted - regarding the matter of Paul Merton and his Mocking Shirts - but it was not to be. Generally those who appreciate the homoerotic subtext and indeed text among quiz show captains, hosts and guests are of a lovely disposition, it seems.
Fic, squee, and other things of interest are all encouraged!

No offence is intended to anyone, least of all the people that are being written about. These stories are fiction, i.e. not real. They are also not-for-profit (which places us one step above the tabloid press, who get paid to make up stuff).
All right, so it's not much to boast about, but it's something, dammit.
