Boy Meets Boy

The Brunching Shuttlecocks is a general humor site that's updated several times a week. Make sure you check out their ratings (A through F reviews of random products, such as items from a dollar store). If you want to be thorough, start with the archives.

98% of fanfiction on the web is ranges from decent to poor. 1% of the stuff is terrific, something that's so brilliant that you must bow down and worship the author. Godawful Fanfiction takes the other 1%, the fanfiction so horrible and terrifying that people either feel sick to their stomachs or burst out laughing. GAFF started off dedicated to Star Trek fanfiction, but they're expanded to cover such fandoms as Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King to Sandman and Silence of the Lambs. Start with TOS and work through the Star Trek sections, then move onto the others, and finish with the message board. Hold me.

Sabrina Online

The Shanmonster is a general random weirdness site. Join the Shanmonster, a twenty-something in Canada, as she reviews music, books, and movies, finds bizarre news aricles, goes to dance classes, tries to get a job that pays more than minmum wage, show you pictures of her chinchillas, writes about witches, and fights off hordes of horny ICQverts. A good time will be had by all.

The Sith Academy had a two-year run as the premier site for satirical fanstuff for The Phantom Menace. Actually, with 181 "canon" stories (like this will ever be considered canon by George), 16 non-canon stories, and a number of art galleries, it still is the premier site for satirical fanstuff for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. This is a site that I recommend that you avoid unless you have oodles of time to spare. You will get addicted, and you'll have one hell of a time getting your work done when you've just hit #29 (Darth Maul gets laid) and just know that there's going to be lots of hot sex in the upcoming chapters.
