Hey there Earthlings,
Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear.
Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and
wondrous. I'm Mama Ogre and I have no idea what I'm doing.
As you should know
Fridays is random blog day were we talk anything and everything and
pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on the world of
fan-fiction.......insert twilight music and lets get into it.
Fan-fiction often
abbreviated to Fanfic, Fic or FF is a fictional account of an
original piece of work written by a fan not by the author/creator.
Fans may use the creators characters, concepts or settings but add
many of their own characters, concepts or settings of their own. Fan
fiction is a popular form of Fan Labour and whilst rarely
commissioned by the creator or publisher its rarely professionally
published. Often posted of fan sites such as Fanfiction.net or Ao3,
such work can qualify for fair use although it can be considered a
breach of copyright and on occasion authors have responded with legal
action.
Fan fiction can be
defined by the use of the canon universe and have another character
view the story form the outside or the Alternative Universe with fans
using the characters with switched genders or have the story take
another way or have side missions which change the outlook of the
story. The earliest considered fan fiction comes from the
Sherlockians during the period of 1897 to 1902, when many mourned the
supposed “Killing off” of Sherlock Holmes....many wrote stories
about the well known detective.
There variety of
fan-fiction ideas, genres and terms such as crossovers (other
characters, story arks from other works turning up), Dark-fics (The
world is usually darker and usually more depressing than the
original), Fluff/Waff (Usually includes many uses of warm fluffy
feelings), Smut (over sexualised/almost pornographic writing),
slash/shipping (characters put together) and many more besides.
I myself tend to read
fan fiction because it offers an unseen alternative to a very beloved
and much read fiction, movie or TV show. I read many different fan
fictions from such genres as Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, The
Simpsons, and many others besides. I happen to write fan fiction as
well and have written five stories. One is a The Big Bang Theory
(TBBT) and the others are Harry Potter Fan fictions with two being
crossovers with Game of Thrones and Alice in Wonderland. I love
writing fan fiction because it gives me the chance work with my
creativity and come up with ideas.
https://www.fanfiction.net/
and https://archiveofourown.org/
are very good websites for fan fiction and I recommend both of them
for you to read and look through.
And there you have it,
