When fanfic and theories collide

I was just alerted to lostreview.com, which last month posted an extended theory on Jacob, the monster, and pretty much everything.

But it's not like most theories. The dude practically dramatizes it, making for a fun read. Here's an example:

Bea Kulgh, a DHARMA initiate, sensed a shift from an idealistic community in ‘Otherville’ towards a totalitarian cult headed by a powerful triumvirate leader. She reached out for others who felt the same, but it was impossible - any disobedience meant being brainwashed in the re-programming room (where we saw Carl). During her tour of duty in the Pearl, which was still active at the time, she was able to secretly communicate with Radzinsky and Inman via the computer. She fed them information from which - with their own reconnaissance - they were able to produce a map of the island and the hatches, which John Locke saw on the blast door in Lockdown. They removed part of the Orientation film that forbade communication via the computer so that, if they were found out and replaced, their replacements would not be hindered by that rule. And they formulated a plan to escape.

The entire multi-faceted story - which also chronicles Jacob's childhood, Valenzetti's calculation of the Numbers, and Magnus Hanso surviving the crash of the Black Rock - practically reads like a plot outline for a Lost: History of the Island feature film. Which would be awesome for a ridiculous number of reasons, even though it's just fanfiction. This one gets the Most Skillfully Crafted Theory award. Again, read it here.
