Fan fiction own up?!

Honestly some fanfic has me in tears. I still remember reading a Hunger Games one which ended with Katniss and Peeta, afflicted by the ills of old age, finally eating the berries that would have ended their life in the arena. Gosh did I cry.

Yes there’s a lot of crud, but there’s a lot of diamonds.

I love Ao3 - Dramione is my ship.
My husband thinks it’s hilarious but genuinely I read better stories on ao3 than from published authors. Manacled is a work of art, another one I loved is ‘The Fallout’

Yep.

I've been writing in a rather niche fandom for about 20 years, and reading across a variety since my teens.

I'm not sure I can think of any in particular.. I generally just go all the way through Archive Of Our Own and see what I can find.. though I seem to find myself zero-ing in on ones with tags such as Angst, Pining or Smut 😁

I prefer short ones... think there is a series called 'First Kisses' by LulaIsAKitten which I really liked.

@Bells3032 A '90s children's show called Mystic Knights. Essentially medieval Irish Power Rangers. Honestly, the fanfiction is better than the show was.

Been reading fanfic for decades. Mostly X-Files stuff. Occasionally write it to.

I used to love the Dracula/Agatha fan fiction after getting obsessed with the Dracula bbc series! Archive of our own and Tumblr. Haven’t looked in a while

Ooh can't believe I've never thought to look up any Stephanie Plum!

I love it when you find a writer whose voice you really like and then lose a week reading everything they've ever written and then all of their Ao3 bookmarks to find new writers who you're going to like as well 😆

Can't make DMs work on my phone so here's a link archiveofourown.org/works/50280649/chapters/127016335

DM on its way 😅

I leave it a few weeks and go back to enjoy the new stuff. Some of it is of amazing quality.

@TheGirlWithTheArabStrap yeah sure to the DM. If it's popular I've likely already read it (especially if it's M rated 🙃). I've just fleshed out my own plot line for an Ao3 story.

FanFiction has been a daily habit of mine for 20 years. There are some incredible fics.

I really struggle to think of scenarios, which makes me quite sad. I'd love to be able to create stories like the ones I admire.

There are some incredible writers who have epic length work up to be read for free. I think it's wonderful.

I just realised ao3 is archive of its own..I have heard of it lol just never called it that!! Dam thought they'd be some fresh reading for me

I am very curious as to this one. Which show. Tell tell!!

Never heard of ao3 before.

I used to love reading and writing fanfic for the tribe (a culty teen show that finished about 20 years ago now!). I still occasionally read but I've read most of them multiple times now. Will have to see if ao3 have any!!

Realised that I’ve been reading fanfiction since the late 90s - starting with The X Files (MSR, of course) and continuing with various shows over the years. Mostly SF/ fantasy shows, but I did get into Bones and Castle fanfic for a while.

Originally the stories were being posted on individual archives or mailing lists, then we had Fanfiction.net, and now AO3. I’ve recently got back into a fandom from several years ago, and was happy to find a few fics that I remembered reading back in the day that have been put on AO3 now.

I havnt, but one of my favourite fan fic writers has an on going one. I can PM you a link if you want. Their writing is amazing so I'd imagine it's good. I can PM you the link if you want?

I used to enjoy reading Dalziel and Pascoe slash back in the day! 😁

I’m a reader and a writer- I have some niche ones, like fanfic based on Janet Evanovich, and some more main stream.

a favourite fiction series is A year like none other, a summer like none other and a family like none other. Amazingly written HP fanfic by AspeninTheSunlight.

I haven't for years. I did just listen to the new Buffy podcast though (the one voiced by some of the original cast) It may as well have been fan fiction tbh. Lots of lesbian kissing sounds and growning too 😆

I have only ever read one. It was recently and honestly it was one of the best things I’d read in ages. I’m talking staying up until 1am when I’m working the next day because I couldn’t put it down good! It was Manacled. I never saw the Dramonie appeal but I’m a full concert now!

I haven't read fan fiction for about 20 years, please please recommend a Strike one for me

I like reading the Disney stuff, carrying on the lives of the characters after the film ended 🤭 It made watching them on an endless loop easier and more entertaining for me back when my dc used to watch them!

Has anyone read any KinnPorsche fanfiction?
