Writing in The A.V. Club, Keith Phipps explores the outer limits of fan fiction, surveying such minority fanfic tastes as The Smurfs (which inspired a "sprawling trilogy [that] follows Hefty Smurf on an epic journey that spans several centuries") and ALF ("'ALF's Christmas Carol' opens with ALF pondering what he would do with an ice-cream machine"). On a related note, to read the Xena fiction of Reason's own Cathy Young, go here, and to enjoy Tim Cavanaugh's tales of Ronald Reagan, go here. And it's been far too long since I last linked to those stories about wrapping Roy Orbison in clingfilm.
