Ok b4 u guys post this should be on off topic it shouldn't I see slot of peoples forms being told to to go to off topic when really they should should be on fan fiction like if someone made a football trade but turned it in to twilight that's fan fiction not off topic fan fiction isn't about stories or role plays it's about like people talking about movies, tv, book series any type of entertainment and ik that people are gonna tell me I'm wrong but trust me I got a couple of the same answers by ppl who actually make fan fiction websites so I pretty sure the know
I made the same thread mooooonths ago. Befre my posts were deleted, it was 'Why we are techinically spamming the fan-fiction forum section'.
Fan fiction (alternatively referred to as fanfiction, fanfic, FF, or fic) is a broadly-defined term for fan labor regarding stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator. Works of fan fiction are rarely commissioned or authorized by the original work's owner, creator, or publisher; also, they are almost never professionally published. Because of this, many fan fictions written often contain a disclaimer stating that the creator of the work owns none of the characters. Fan fiction, therefore, is defined by being both related to its subject's canonical fictional universe and simultaneously existing outside the canon of that universe. [1] Most fan fiction writers assume that their work is read primarily by other fans, and therefore tend to presume that their readers have knowledge of the canon universe (created by a professional writer) in which their works are based. As defined and explained by Wikipedia.
If Wikipedia isn't convincing, this is from times magazine: Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language. —Lev Grossman, TIME, July 18, 2011
Yes. In my own words, fan-fiction is writing about a story, movie, show, manga, anime, celebrity, band, or other things by adding your original characters or making up a story about preexisting characters, while also posting a disclaimer that you don't own certain people or ideas.
