Fan fiction (also spelled fanfiction and commonly abbreviated to fanfic or fic) is fiction written by people who enjoy a film, novel, television show or other media work, using the characters and situations developed in it and raping them in every possible and impossible way up the ass. (As a matter of historical interest, it should be noted that in the pre-1965 era, the term "fan fiction" was used in fandom to designate Science Fiction written by members of fandom(specifically that of Star Trek) and published in fanzines, as distinguished from fiction professionally published; this usage is now obsolete.) fanfiction is simply an excuse for no-talent writers to live out their most erotic fantasys with the favourite fictional characters. so there.

My Immortal by Tara Gilesbie is the worst fanfic ever. Go see it for yourself: Google "worst fanfic ever" and hit I'm feeling lucky. Then, if you're not a gullible moron, you'll realize it's funny satire.GoogleFic

[edit] History

Some argue that Virgil's epic poem, The Aeneid, was the first work of fan fiction, based on Homer's Odyssey; in it, a Trojan named Aeneas leads a group of refugees after the fall of the city to find a new homeland, eventually founding Rome. Unlike all other fan fiction thereafter, it actually wasn't a complete pile of shit. One of the more successful fanfics of more recent times is the Bible-based Book of Mormon, whose readers have gone so far as to develop a separate religion of their own.

Fanfiction became popular through the 70's and 80's through zines. Usually writing about Duran Duran members fucking each other's brains out.

Fan fiction has come to the forefront especially since the rise of the Internets, where it flourishes despite the possibility that it infringes the copyright of the film, book, TV show, or other media on which it is based.

Fan fiction writers sometimes claim to be asexual. It was probably because they got OWNED in sex. i.e., The man came too early, thought it was bad, etc. Um, yeah.

The fact stands that they still masturbate to Cloud and Sephiroth fucking each other in the ass.

Note: Since it's conception, some believe that Fanfiction has reached a status analogous to Rule 34, as in: If it exists, there is Fanficton of it. So far, Nobody has argued this belief to be anything but Fact.

Major genres of fanfic include those based on: J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series; J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings; God's autobiography The Bible; science fiction serials (both on television and in film) including Supernatural, X-Files, Buffy, Star Trek, and Gilmore Girls; other serial television (dramatic and even comedic) including Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break, Alias, and Scrubs; and American cartoon series such as Teen Titans, Ninja Turtles, Danny Phantom and Avatar the Last Airbender.

However, the vast majority of fanfiction is based loosely on anime. Even if the material which inspires the fanfic bears absolutely no resemblance to anime, fanfic writers will find some way to introduce anime influences.

A large subsection of fanfiction revolves around romantic and/or sexual relationships between characters, almost always outside the canon of the source material and often dealt with in explicit detail. Further, among relationship centered fan fiction, a large portion deals with same sex relationships, with male/male pairings being the most common; this is called slash or yaoi. Fanfiction revolving around pairings is often denoted by writing both names (or abbreviations of such) with a slash or a (usually lowercase) x, or by fusing the two names together. An example in the Harry Potter fandom would be Snarry or SnapexHarry. If one was to believe the outlook of most yaoi writers the following will always be true: "If male 'A' spends more than 30 seconds with male 'B', male 'A' is automatically secretly gay for male 'B' and wishes to build up the courage to tell male 'B'. So according to the 16-year-old girls on every forum ever the human race is doomed.

Some fanfiction falls into the category of Mary Sue fanfiction fantasies, where a new character representing the writer enters the story and upstages all of the established characters. However, Mary Sue can also be a character that's 'perfect' and has no inherent faults. While Mary Sue has some fans, she's generally frowned upon as she rarely adds to the story and is simply there to fuck all the main characters.

Other popular trends include: making sitcom characters rape, murder, and/or enter suicide pacts with each other; authors inserting themselves into universes in order to rape or be raped by established characters; handing out penises on a gender-equal basis, and generally just doing a lot of fucked up shit.

Or, when a character dies in a story and people don't like it, they write fanfiction of what if they character had lived, and then through bad writing they make the character nothing like the character in the original story, for example.

Very rarely does an actually well written fanfiction get posted on the website. However, chances of them getting recognition over the usual crock of shit are slim to none.

Typical reaction to broken FF servers.

Fanfiction.net is one of the worst sites evar. With faggots fagging up categories with their stories that have nothing to do with the genre or fanon in question. They only do it because Fictionpress.com gets less people/reviews. Most of the stories on this site have to do with animu, Harry Potter, or Hannah Montana shoving a cock up Nick Jonas' ass.

The forums are full of people who suck each others' e-penis. Constantly.

Some time ago, the people running fanfiction.net got sick and tired of the FBI calling them up and asking them about all of the pedophile sex stories (mainly in Anime and Video game sections such as Final Fantasy and Xenosaga) that their site was hosting, and decided to do something about it. Under the guise of closing their site down for a day in memory of 9/11, the masters of fanfiction.net formulated a plan to end this problem once and for all. The next day, they told everyone that they were going to get rid of all of the stories rated NC-17. The result was an expected emo cryfest from people who were upset that someone else's site would no longer host their Harry Potter gay sex stories. Many people attempted to contact the government and complain that their first amendment rights were being violated. These people were promptly arrested by the FBI in what amounted to a intricate sting against pedophiles.


A new rating system was put into place with categories including K(Appropriate for lolies), K+(Appropriate for older lolies), T(Appropriate for teens), and M(Appropriate for Mature Audiences). The default rating became K -> T, with hopes of weeding out the mature matter. This led to M simply becoming the new NC-17.

[edit] Lulzy Reviews

Wow. What an amazing story! It was an emotional roller coaster ride from beginning to end. I liked the part where Team Rocket jumped out from behind a tree, it surprised me! And the horrible twist of fate when they stole Pikachu. Poor Ash! I really felt sorry for him! I could really feel his devastageon as if it was my own.

From there, it degenerated from a happy adventurous story into a dark, philosophical tale about the meaning of life, the brutality of this world, and most of all, vengeance. The thematic elements were obvious and overpowering, yet subtle. There was a steady buildup to the climax until Ash, robbed of his best friend, loses control of his emotions and punishes Team Rocket for what they did to him, sacrificing himself in the process.

The aftermath was especially painful to take, illustrating the effect that Ash's choice had on his remaining friends, whom he'd forgotten about and disregarded in his final act. Little did he know how much he meant to them, for they, too, could not continue once he was gone...

The title of the work, "Pikachu", is especially meaningful, oozing with significance. Pikachu was truly the center of Ash's life, and thus the story. In a surprise twist, you pulled off a double meaning of the title near the end, when it was revealed that Pikachu was also the center of Team Rocket's newest money-making scheme to sell coats of Pikachu fur.

In conclusion, with a brilliant plot and brilliant execution, your story stands out as a shining star among a sea of haphazard attempts and poorly-written newbie spew that makes up the Pokemon fandom. I congratulate you, sir, on your monumental contribution to the fandom, and I regret only that I cannot add this to my favorites list fifty times. I hope to see more writing from you in the near future.
