Its fan comics without the pictures. Not sure why that suddenly makes it weird.
Most of them from what I've seen are either poorly written, clopfics, or involve stuff I'm not very comfortable with. Which is why I don't bother reading them. Plus, I don't like reading stories.
It's just not my thing.
EDIT: However there have been the occasional exceptions where I give in to reading one because of the amount of attention it's getting (ex. Cupcakes, Rainbow Factory, Sweet Apple Massacre)
