I know Grasshopper is not supposed to be used for iterative fractal
shape generation.  But, we could not resist.  Rajaa Issa and I got
together this sample of a fractal curve generator.

There are two versions.  The first one is simple.  It takes a
Generator polyline curve and applies it to a Base curve for a certain
number of iterations:

The second definition is a little more complex.  It will take a set of
points as the base shape and a set of points to use as the generator
points.  Then it takes a curve and transforms it into a point field.
It is more flexible, but takes a bit more input.

Both of these are based on a VB fractal component in the definition
included in the definition files.

Any opinions about it are welcome.
