Bit of light hearted fun.....

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

Hands up 🤣👋

I've been writing a Harry Potter fan fiction series for at least the last decade. Currently on my characters' fifth year.

Stargate SG1 on Archive of our own.

About 15 years ago I used to write it. I wrote a lot about a specific pair of fictional characters in a specific fandom. I gave it up though, because after a year or so I just started to find the whole ‘community’ of fans was a bit depressing and I was increasingly encountering people online who I would cross the street to avoid in real life. Some of them were really intense and obsessive over their favourite fics and fic writers.

I read and write in a few fandoms. It's good fun.

Live me a bit of slash fiction.

I ‘came out’ in RL as a fan fiction writer and reader a few years ago.

I’m working on my own stuff now but still in touch with a few people in the community and read their stories when they post them on AO3.

I think it’s a shame that fan fic falls into the ‘dirty little secret’ category for the majority…there are some really talented, hard working writers out there.

@CornedBeef451

Sobsicles is a personal favourite, she has some really good canon divergent fics
NorthernSparrow is an amazing writer, her fic Winter's Tale will rip your heart out, especially if you're a Cas girl
CasLostWings has some good AU stuff, as does FollowYourEnergy
There's just so much SPN stuff on AO3, I think there's in excess of 100k stories now, Destiel alone

Yes to Destiel ❤️

i believe it was said "get in the car" by dean to sam in one of the epoxides when sam suggested it to dean

Love a bit of fanfic. I'm a fan of Locane which is a bit niche.

Baguette2021 · 16/10/2023 19:17

Yes! Reader and writer (before I had the baby that is...) of Jaime x Brienne fanfic from Game of Thrones/ASOIAF. Lots of talent there!

notforonesecond · 16/10/2023 19:20

I’m deep in a Roy x Jamie from Ted Lasso hole at the moment. And I’m always all about the ice hockey RPF - so much quality in that fandom.

I used to be a fairly prolific writer in an embarrassing, niche fandom linked to my username. Not written for a couple of years though. I really need to find my mojo again.

VeronicaSawyer89 · 16/10/2023 19:30

I'm both a(n avid) reader and writer. Deeply into Bangel smutty stories, even joined specific Bangel fanfic FB groups. 😂

@LadyShimura Janeway and Chakotay

I knew it!

They are my secret pleasure on AO3.

fanfictionlover · 16/10/2023 19:38

@LadyShimura the chemistry was unreal. Endgame 7/C made me gag do you listen to the delta flyers pod with Robert Duncan McNeil (Tom Paris) and Garrett Wang (Kim) they are massive JC shippers!
I'm a big Trekkie I go to conventions and I'm active on trek social media lots of friends I've met and made

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

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.

Crayonmelyn · 16/10/2023 20:11

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.

NImumconfused · 16/10/2023 20:16

Yep, Doctor Who and Good Omens on AO3!!

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.

fanfictionlover · 16/10/2023 20:59

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

Dedsec2023 · 16/10/2023 21:12

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

akissbeforebed · 16/10/2023 21:23

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.

fanfictionlover · 16/10/2023 21:26

@Dedsec2023 A03 is the best
