Summary
Uni student Ed is on the prowl for someone who can shake up his night for once. Someone different from all those 20-year-olds on campus he’s already fucked. Like someone much older. And he is that desperate. So coming across a 56-year-old man at the first pub he went into wasn’t someone he initially had in mind. But whatever. Where there's a hole, there's a way.

Summary
I guess this is known as "The Room" of Cheesecake? OK, it was written as a weekly serial. It was never meant to be digested in one go!
Radiohead's Loophole competition brings together a disparate group of fans online, to form a close community, united by friendship, relationships, sex, bands, collaborations and connections both musical and personal - mostly with each other, but also sometimes with Radiohead themselves.
This is primarily a story about fandom, and internet communities. Although Radiohead do appear throughout the story (as well as guest appearances from Nigel, Four Tet, and thinly veiled ciphers for various artists mostly on the Hyperdub and Brainfeeder labels) the main focus of the story, and the main characters are all fans. At least, until until the second half, when Radiohead go on tour, and real life and internet fandom collide head on, and members of Radiohead join the cast properly.
Given that the action takes place mostly in cyberspace, there's not much to have to warn for. Just the usual flaming, trolling and occasional internet bullying, much of which has racist and sexist overtones. Also, warning: MAY CONTAIN DUBSTEP.

Constructing Parallel Worlds by Wayland Smithee (TheAstronomyMod)
Fandoms: Radiohead (Band), Thom Yorke RPF, British Singers RPF

Summary
Thom mistakenly agrees to an interview with a "Feminist Porn Magazine." Complications ensue. Sexy complications.
Advance notice, the ending is pretty grim, so consider yourselves warned.
Inspired by many Thom Yorke interviews I've read/watched on the internet, this is an attempt to construct a character-sketch of a quintessential "Thom Yorke Interview" - but also very clearly inspired by a specific interview where Thom had such chemistry - such specifically sexual chemistry - with the interviewer that I wanted to explore that, and answer the question "What if they acted on that...?"
This story also contains alternate lifestyles, frank discussion of Asexuality, consensual but very rough and sometimes violent sex, paganism, folk dancing, wife-swapping, cheese-eating vegans, and also lesbians. Do not read if offended by any of this.
After some comment threads, I need to warn readers again, since the notes are ancient and quite light-hearted. This story starts off cute and intriguing, but it gets very intense very fast, and goes to some pretty dark places. I've been told by readers that this is a story that lives rent-free in people's heads for years, so please consider before reading.

Summary
The third part of the Charms Trilogy, on a kaleidoscope trip through the Britpop 90s, starting about a year from the end of Death Of A Party, so that it is now the spring of 1998.
Conceptual art shows! Loft Living! Second album blues! Glam Rock Biopics! Football Anthems! World Cup Parties! Touring the States, again! Groupies! Drug addictions! Drinking binges at the Groucho Club with members of Blur, Pulp and Oasis! Being sneered at by Radiohead for drinking at the Groucho with same. Having to deal with your former lover/best friend, and the fact that the woman he left you for is now his "fiancee."
Amidst all of which, Kate Gordon falls properly in love, and gets married. Just not necessarily to the same person.
Content Warning: There is a great deal of rough sex and kinky sex involving consenting adults pushing the boundaries of control and dub-con, including sex with a sleeping partner and diminished capacity. This is in no way condoning rape or rape culture, but this may be triggering to some readers. There is also implied domestic violence and depictions of a toxic relationship turning emotionally and even physically abusive. I will put content warnings on appropriate chapters.
