Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6122208/4/Twelve lonely pilgrims strode across this lonely desert. Each footstep kicking up clouds of red dusty, the rhythmic beat of their claws their marching song, the giant intelligent armoured scorpions moved onto their next feeding ground. And unlike most convoys which crossed Australia, they welcomed when things jumped out to try to eat them. Because there were very few wombats, or even cane toads, which could take on an entire tribe of a dozen train-sized scorpions, and they were large enough that there was a lack of things for drop bears to drop down onto them from (although the larger ones did tend to accumulate their own symbiotic drop bears, living on their undersides, which made them even more scary for smaller prey). As a result, a lot of the brighter animals tended to slink away when they felt the scorpions coming.
Apart from the cliff racers, of course. But they were stupid.
