Fanfic writer humor - OT but strangely appropriate

[psychic_serpent]

The list has more than a few things that can apply to any fandom.  
This one made me chuckle:

49. You see "AC/DC" written on a power cord and spend fifteen 
minutes trying to figure out what characters those are and why they 
would get together. 

If this were an HP fic, DC could be Dennis Creevey or Doris 
Crockford.  Still thinking about who 'AC' could be...
Perhaps Vincent Crabbe's father?  I'll name him Axel Crabbe and to 
avoid cross-generational problems, DC will be Doris rather than 
Dennis.  Hmm.  I'm almost afraid to hit 'send' in case someone 
actually writes this...<vbeg>
