Fan fiction own up?!

I read them, usually about the bands I like. Some are actually really well written. I tried writing some myself, not gonna say who it was about lol but it was years and years ago on quizilla. Personally I thought I was doing a good job until I got bored and abandoned the story half way through.

I’m reading a couple at the moment which haven't been updated for months and i’m scared the authors have given up.

Reader and writer here :) some small communities but also Marvel and DC where I've done fairly well! I am obsessed with LOTR fanfics at the moment.

I've been reading and writing fics for over 20 years. Mostly femslash (Bad Girls/Last Tango in Halifax) though started out as a teen writing AU "Friends" fics.

@PhantomOps yes! Such a good show. Series one had me hooked.

I've been reading and writing on the Outlander fandom for ages. Love it.

Nowt wrong with that 😁

It's a fandom with some really excellent writers, although some of my faves haven't produced much lately.

Oh yes avid fanfic lover here. Started with Twlight over a decade ago and then the whole world opened up, love Star Trek, Star Wars and Supernatural. I'm not an major HP fan but have a thing for Lucius Malfoy ! I've also dabbled into the Marvel universe.
You have to weed your way through the not great stuff at times, but there are some extraordinary talented writers out there, it a joy to read their work!

Oh, sorry, I didn't expect people to be that interested 😆
No, it's nothing supernatural, think more along the lines of party of five, freaks and geeks etc 😊

@secretfanficwriter is it dark angel? I loved that show and the fanfic. Some writers are amazing

I'm currently burning through my Marauders era Harry Potter fanfiction thanks to the magic of nanowrimo (I really like earning the badges - it's ridiculous).

I don't read much because what is currently popular in Marauders circles is not for me (to put it mildly).

Marauders fans hate JKR so much and insist they have built these characters far more than she has (I'm currently reading The Ink Black Heart and she so perfectly skewers the grandiose audacity of fans who think they have more ownership over canon that its original creator that I think it's no wonder they hate her, she paints them so perfectly but it's not a flattering portrait). Everyone is queer (of some stripe) Remus is an orphan, James goes out with Sirius's brother, Barty Crouch Jnr is a misunderstood emo bad boy who is in love with Evan Rosier (the obscure death eater who died in battle and cursed Mad Eye Moody's nose off - if you were wondering) Regulus is best friends with Luna's mum ... it's a lot. And a lot of not very good.

So I don't read but I do write stuff that is actually canon compliant and have a total blast doing it.

I’ve written since I was little (nobody wants to know how 10 year old me thought sexy times worked!) but not much anymore.

I have rewatched supernatural recently though and posted a lot of fanart on tumblr because it gets a lot of likes and I like the appreciation. I’m not a massive destiel fan but man the fan base is everywhere.

Give us a clue of the show!

Just name changed for this as my ao3 username is the same as my posting name on here 😆
Yes, I do, both read and write, for a 90s teen show that has been finished for many years. Still a surprisingly large following 😊

I’m currently reading far too much Cormoran Strike fan fiction 😳

You're not allowed to make money from fanfiction.

I read lots of fanfiction, often also MM couples even if the series/book showed them with a female counterpart.

It dwindled down when I watched less and less TV but once in a while I go back to my favourite pages and look things up.

Me too! I'm ashamed to admit that I've recently fell back into it and revisited some classics and found some new ones. I remember the twisluts threads on here many moons ago

I used to love Twilight fanfiction, especially the AU where there were human.

Yes, I read and write. Bit of Star Wars but mostly video games. Mass Effect, Dragon Age mainly. I’m quite open about it.

Me there are some really talented writers out there. The show I read it for or specifically the ship is fantasy as well so lots of scope for imagination.

I've been reading fan fiction for about 15 years and writing for about six or seven. Published on a couple of sites (one no longer active). I've read a lot on AO3 but never published on there.
Wasn't aware of fan fiction.net, so there's a whole new load of stories to read!!

I went through a big buffy ff phase as a teenager and then life happened. I’ve recently come back to it and have become embarrassingly obsessed with Loki (marvel version) and stories which give him a redemption arch or opportunity to reunite with his family. I’ve even started to write some and working up the courage to post.

I’ve got no idea why I’m devoting hours I should be sleeping reading this stuff and I’d cringe if anyone knew about it IRL.
