What's your guys thoughts on Fanfiction?

Just curious. This is a little embarrassing for me to admit (because I'm hella insecure) and I may very well regret making this public in a forum like this one where I have a bit of a reputation/history, but I've been working on a little fan-fiction story over these few months in quarantine (which has far passed the 100,000+ words mark! wooo) and I want to see see what other people think about the specific hobby/interest in general, because I don't really have any one in specific IRL to talk to about this even tho I find a great interest in it.

At first I was a bit skeptical about the idea of fan-fiction, and on paper it sounds like a dumb kiddy thing, but after having dove myself into it a bit, especially with some of my own personal writing, I've found it to be quite enjoyful. I see it as a way for people who like to write, like myself, to express and show off their support for their favorite series.

In general, I really like to write, especially when it's about something I find a lot of joy/fun in.

So, what are your opinions on Fanfiction?




pls be nice :(

 

i mean really fanfic is just a non-canon story from a series written by a fan. it's not always explicitly sexual. i dont have a problem with it as long as you're being healthy about it. the girls who cry over fanfics tho...

All of my irl friends right them and

They are juicy. Like, juicy.

 

When people hear the word fanfiction, they often think of the cringy stuff. But there is a ton of stuff out there for free which is sooo good. The thing that suprises me the most is that I barely read books (thank school for ruining it for me), but read a ton of fanfiction and enjoy it way more.

Spoiler: This sums up my thoughts about it pretty well

You got me kinda curious now tbh, what is it about? (you can also pm me if you want)

 

I like dark stories, not the gory kinds however, but ones that are really dark with a backstory. Other than that I don’t read or watch any because I cry easily and I don’t want to destroy my soul.

 

Depends, 99% of it is gay shit the other 1% is good.

If you actually write a good story then it can be something enjoyable, if you just rewrite some shit because you want to setup two characters falling in love then its bad.
