AC Fiction, Virtually Real, by Coyote Toledo, has earned the titel "Top Member Favorite" in the voting at Fanstory.com. Here's a snippet:
The first truly strange part of Terry's day had happened shortly before the screaming started. What happened was this: something had materialized in the office parking lot. Actually, quite a good number number of things. Short screaming things. Greenish things. They brandished spears and ran about. They were distinctly non-human things.
Terry, looking out his third floor window, recognized the things. He was, perhaps, more surprised than almost anyone else viewing this bizarre scene. On second thought, the people standing in the parking lot at the time were more surprised than Terry, as the screaming green things had happened to kill them.
"Mosswarts," said Terry to no one in particular, "probably creepers from the size and color of them. Or mudlurks. Um."
The last "um" uttered was in response to all the screaming human people in the parking lot being killed by the screaming green non-people.
Terry played a lot of Asheron's Call. He knew mosswarts when he saw them. He wasn't at all prepared to see them in all their un-pixelated glory, standing in a parking lot in the middle of Miami, making what he assumed to be their normal, mosswarty interesting noises.
