Fan fiction own up?!

[labradormumandproud]

Bit of light hearted fun.....

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

Hands up 🤣👋

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

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

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

@GrandTheftWalrus I've PMd you.

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.

@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.

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

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

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.

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

Currently going through a Hannigram stage on AO3!

Do you make any money from writing it?

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

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.

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!!

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.

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

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

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 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.

You're not allowed to make money from fanfiction.

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

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 😊
