Fan fiction own up?!

I have written some. Not recently as time has been an issue and i would also like move onto writing original fiction.

Do you make any money from writing it?

Currently going through a Hannigram stage on AO3!

Never read fanfiction as an adult but I used to read piles and piles of Buffy fanfic as a teenager.

I am a big fan of Chalet School fan fiction I can admit that as I know I'm not the only mumsnetter who reads it as it was posts on here that introduced me to it. As others have said there are some v talented writers, I'm so grateful to the people who take tge time to write it, I'm massively uncreative but I love to read.

I absolutely love Dramione fan fiction! My favourites are Silencio, Isolation and Manacled ❤️

Loving all your answers there are some super talented writers out there

@GregoryFluff thanks for the recommendations. I don't think I know Sobsicles but Northern Sparrow is my favourite writer, I read Flight annually when I need to feel things.

I've also interacted with her on Twitter, I felt like a fangirl, she's very cool.

I was thinking of starting a similar thread of how in my mid 50s I’ve suddenly fallen into a Good Omens fan zone….it’s embarrassing. Can’t do smut on that one though or even fan fiction, not read anything that didn’t make me roll eyes by page 2 so it’s reading obsessive fan theories on tumbler. A lot of it is very witty. It’s easy escapist stuff.

when the Sherlock bbc was on I absolutely loved the fan fic for that, all of it, some of it was really well written.

@GrandTheftWalrus I've PMd you.

I have been reading and writing Labyrinth fanfiction since I was a young teen, I'm now 35 🙂

I was a fairly well-known Merlin writer many moons ago. Met some wonderful
friends through it too, one of whom is now a very successful, award-winning published author! (Her fic was INCREDIBLE but sadly all deleted now!)

I read a bit but I'm not a huge fan of it as a reader. I do write a lot of it though (over 2 million words published on A03). currently I write for HP - my WIPs are a marauders era fic and a retelling of Pride and Prejudice with Remus as Lizzie and Sirius as Darcy!

I love fan fiction! Read across many different fandoms depending on my mood.
some truly wonderful writers on there.

I have read virtually nothing but Our Flag Means Death fanfiction on A03 since Feb. It's been like an obsession. I regret nothing 😀

@Dedsec2023 A03 is the best

I used to write a lot, mostly Supernatural but also The Musketeers (BBC) and The A-Team. It's all on FanFiction.net and most on AO3. I haven't written anything for a long time but have been revisiting what I've written recently and thinking of starting again. I read it still, but no romance of any description and no smut either.

does anyone have a good lists of sites for fan fiction please ?

I'm gonna look it up. I've read most of it on AO3 now.

@LadyShimura read the Kirsten Beyer books they do in them ❤️ but it's not cannon :( coffee mate writes the best fan fiction for JC

I've spent decades fuming that Janeway and Chakotay never got together.

I've had a fanfic idea swirling around in my brain for years, just to make up for the fact they never got together, I just never wrote it.

I am a secret Cardassian lover too.

Side note: I've been writing some Lucius Malfoy smut and I just cant finish it.

Yep, Doctor Who and Good Omens on AO3!!

I've just worked out that I've been reading fanfiction for 20 years. It started out swapping stories we'd written with a school friend. Then we discovered a whole world online. I just didn't stop.
Rather embarrassingly I've turned into the clichéd lesbian reading slash fiction.

Ooh could you send a link?

I used to read a lot of Harry Potter fanfiction. Not the smutty stuff although if it was in it I wouldn't mind. Lots of it was really well written and filled in the gaps between the end of deathly hallows and 19yrs later very well.

@LadyShimura I've met Kate Mulgrew she is so funny about JC 🤣 she's awesome
