Alright, we all know it's beneath us, but... do read or write fan fiction?
Read any good ones? WRITE any good ones?
Don't be shy, post that shit. Yes, even the embarrassing garbage.

I know it’s stupid, but I actually really like the Infinite Loops project.
I started reading it after losing a loved one and the comedy helped me
Years later I still check up on new parts occasionally
All I do is write fanfiction
I'm writing two ongoing series for Marvel
By definition that's not fan fiction.
I don't have any additional respect for you because of that, but I hope you enjoy it anon.
I don't know you, but picrel is obligatory.
I used to read a lot of tiny equines fanfics. The canon setting and characterization being shallow (at least at first) meant writers could add whatever crazy bullshit they wanted
>we all know it's beneath us
(You) need to leave
As an artist that draws and sucks shit at writing I will always stand by my opinion that Fanfiction is just as important as Fanart.
To all the writes in this thread keep creating and sharing your work!
>Fanfiction is just as important as Fanart
True, but you gotta admit people lean far more to visuals than words. It's even better when someone that's good in both art and writing combine their talents and produce a good comic.
It's just the nature of the beast. Art has a better glance value. I can look at a picture and determine in two seconds if it's good (though obviously a deeper appreciation and analysis takes time), meanwhile any writing longer than a limerick takes time to read and analyze.
It's always going to be harder to get people to engage with something they have to actually put effort into.
Yes, but I need to do more writing on it and less shitposting on Cinemaphile.
I read it but I don't write
Which ones?
Genuine question from someone who doesn't read or write fanfiction: why? Why waste your time and skill on this instead of writing your own original stories?
>Why waste your time and skill on this instead of writing your own original stories?
Simply put I like [relevant Cinemaphile media]; therefore I like to read or write for it even years after the show or comic has ended. I could try writing something original but I just don't feel like doing it.
Some writers like to write their own interpretation of how an episode/character introduction/scene/ending of an episode or series finale as a whole of (insert show here) could have gone. Or they're attached to a certain character and like to place them in a series of scenarios that standards and practices would have axed on the spot. As long as the writer accepts that their work isn't canonical or has to be a smash hit depending on what site they write on, then it's smooth sailing from there.
Fanfiction comes with a premade setting, characters, and conflicts which means a good deal of work that goes into writing original stories is already laid out for you to use. That makes it appealing to writers who are unsure of, or conversely testing, their skills by allowing them preset elements to use as needed. In my case, I also write it to make something I would like to see from an existing property but do not, or will not, ever actually get.
Ok, so in terms of posting, I have a long one for you. It's my ongoing Helluva Boss fanfic I've been posting here.

As for this anon's question, simply put, practice. It keeps me writing and it's fairly low personal investment. The characters and setting is premade, so I can work on plot, dialogue, whatever. Posting it on the internet can give me instant feedback
As for why I'm spending so much time and energy writing fanfiction about Helluva Boss, please see pic rel.
its easyer. sometimes people care alot about a setting. if you do it really well it basically is original work, kyle saga comes to mind.
>kyle saga comes to mind
All my fanfiction feels hollow because it comes from me and I already know myself.
So I get it from somebody else because I don't understand them and then their stories retain the ability to intrigue and surprise.
Oh, that's why you write to completion, put that piece down for a few months, then come back and rewrite it. The ideas are MUCH better.
Back in the day, nobody would read original works on the internet. This has changed a lot in the last decade, to the point you can support yourself entirely of it if you're prolific enough, but the fact remains that for a very long time if you wanted to have an audience as a hobbyist writer on the internet, you needed to write fanfic, and most of the online infrastructure and communities are geared towards that because of it.
I want the stories to continue even if the show is ended, or characters to do or experience certain things. I also do creative writing separately.
I write but not anything good, its just character/reader rape porn.
I'm working on something for The Owl House
might take awhile, but I'm getting somewhere
I'll admit it, I even know which Fandoms are the least creative (Dragon Age).
I read fanfiction, the truth is that more often than not the fans will be better writers than the creators of the show itself. At least when it comes to cartoons, that is..
I don't write it. I probably could, I've had plenty of ideas. But I just can't do it without cringing to death.
I've never had an interest fanfiction. I just can't enjoy a story that didn't actually happen to the characters. Writing the same, I'd rather make something I can call my own.
>I just can't enjoy a story that didn't actually happen to the characters.
I have bad news for you anon.
I wrote one fapfic and that's it
About what?
about a kids' edutainment PC game from the 90s
Frick, based anon, I wish more people remembered and sexualized those
Freddi fish is going on his GREATEST adventure.
both wrong
Frick yes, best outcome, it was either that or ClueFinders
Polly Spark = quality waifu
I hope she finally got corrected, it's been 20+ years coming
I feel that a snake is involved.
May I see it?

I would think a third of the output of the big two is effectively fan fiction.
I read Ruby Gillman fanfictions where the moronic plot twist got retconned
The closest I’ve gotten is writing long ass greentexts.
I started with greentexts as well, now I'm on to fics.
What fanfics are you two writing?
Regular Show fics. I used to do greentexts for last year's Gender-Bender threads. Feel free to check the archives if you like that kind of jam.
Who is this blue guy?
Ice President, a double-genderswapped version of Ice King from the Adventure Time episode “Five Short Tables”
top three
>What Am I To You? by TheOneAndOnly1993
>Shinji and the Doctor by machiavelli
>Mortal Man by DadMom AngryPants
I'll forever be disappointed with Our Flames our Fury. Despite labeling itself as a Stannis/Azula fic doesn't cover their first meeting and gives them basically no scenes together, and instead just has a bunch of OC's.
I don't read many fics myself, but I duiring lockdown I stumbled on a 14 Chapter long "Katara and Aang break-up" fic that I ended up enjoying more than I thought.
The person who wrote it obviously didn't like the endgame pairing and how Aang's parenting was portrayed in LoK, and the fic goes out of it's way to make a case of some realistic well thought out issues that the two characters could have in their relationship.
-Aang wanting Katara to be vegetarian like him, and Katara struggling with that lifestyle as water tribe diet is very meat-based.
-Aang wanting Katara to have lots of babies in hopes they will be airbenders and raised as such. Something that Katara is at odds as she also wants her children to carry on with southern water tribe ways since she is the last waterbender of the South and wants to restore their bending traditions. She also doesn't want to be relegated to Aang's airbender baby machine.
- The main plot is mainly about Katara wanting to seek out Hama (who escaped again) and learn to master her bending skills including bloodbending as it is also from her culture. She thinks bloodbending can be re-purposed to healing instead of hurting which Aang does not approve.
While I wasn't the biggest fan of how the fic portrays Aang. Basically amplifying his childish, emotional, and holier-than-thou aspects and turning him way too unsympathetic so that we can root for the break-up.
But it was still a cool exploration of Katara going on a journey to master the darker side of waterbending that made me wish parts of it were canon.
>While I wasn't the biggest fan of how the fic portrays Aang. Basically amplifying his childish, emotional, and holier-than-thou aspects and turning him way too unsympathetic so that we can root for the break-up.
Let me guess, Katara was a perfect angel in comparison? It's disappointing when authors flanderize the frick out of a character because said character is in the way.
Compared to Aang, yes haha. At least the fic connects to him not being unable to give up his attachment to Katara in the Guru episode having consecuences to his character.
It's a while since I read it, but Katara's was portrayed as somewhat conflicted from what I remember and was able to carry the story for me. She was a character. If Katara had a solo adventure, that is what I would expect more or less.
The fic has some slight romance-tease with Zuko but they never become a couple. They stay good friends with a "perhaps in the future" at best, but the only couple who stayed in a relationship were Sokka and Suki.
I don't have strong feeling for either Kataang or Zutara so it's probably why I found the fic interesting.
I got bored one time and wrote something for a MLP first person pov compilation. Too embarrassed to find it and read it. I was blown away that they actually accepted it and put it as the first story in one of the issues. It was the first and last time I ever felt like writing anything though. It was trash.
