Bit of light hearted fun.....

Who indulges in fan fiction......I'm guilty and in particular the naughty sexy stuff

Hands up 🤣👋

Yea lol I read the stuff on fanfiction.net but don't dare tell anyone. It's like my secret buzz; I hide the screen any time anyone comes near me if I'm reading it, as though I'm having an affair!

Although I think of stories in my mind, I don't write them.

I fully recommend Archive of our own.

There is a whole plethora of excellent fanfiction for pretty much everything. Some of the best stuff I've read have been found on there.

Where do you find it. I used to love a bit of Jane Austen Fanfic.

Google Archive of Our Own, most of it's there nowadays and searchable by fandom.
I wrote Sherlock Holmes slash and gen (the original books, not the ghastly BBC or Downey film versions) back in the day.

I both read it and write it 😂 (especially the dirty M stuff)

I think people would be super shocked. I’m a (objectively) a middle class mother of two under 5’s and very ‘vanilla’ in real life 😂

I read it and write it. I love writing the smutty stuff.

I have done for years.

I loved it as a young teen, when I had time to search for good ones. Now it just seems impossible to find any and I get tired of trawling. Maybe I'm having bad luck with M content but they always seem incredibly vanilla or very "forget the lube, let's stick random things up there"

GymBergerac · 16/10/2023 13:27

Have written and still read a bit, nothing M rated but discovered it years ago when a TV series I loved ended and I didn't want to let go! If you whittle through the bad there are some good stories. I still get very excited if someone favorites one of my stories!

Me! I've stopped recently and moved onto original amature writing and trying to write my own stuff but fanfiction does pop up there too. Pokemon, hp and naruto seem to be the most common ones.

I also enjoy the 'mature' content especially shows where the live interests never got together in the original (or we didn't see much grrr)

Bonjovispjs · 16/10/2023 13:13

Me 😁 I do it and I love it.

HermioneWeasley · 16/10/2023 13:04

Yes. I read and write it. Quite a niche genre though (not Harry Potter despite the name!)

MooseBreath · 16/10/2023 12:58

I am a fanfiction writer for a very small vaguely embarrassing community. Every few years, someone posts a new story. I get so excited, even if the quality of writing is absolutely shite.
