• The Amazing Spider-Man 3: A Gay Fantasia on Superheroic Themes by silkspectres. "I Went Ahead and Wrote A Spider-Man Movie Where Peter Parker is Bisexual Because Life is Short and God Knows Nobody Else Was Going to Do It," written in the form of a screenplay. In the story, as per Andrew Garfield's suggestion, MJ Watson is genderswapped and racebent, and should be imagined as Michael B. Jordan's likeness.
