Is an addiction to Fan-Fiction a thing?

I hope it's actually not, if it is... is than and FA (Fanfics Anonymous) group I can join in the south of England area? ha ha


There are a few known sights that allow writers to post fan-fiction that may or may not include well written graphic intercourse scenes and I'm not going to lie, I've written a not bad one myself.

I've been reading a lot over the last few days and while I used to think sitting next to mum on the sofa reading explicit intercourse scenes between characters of a TV show that someone has thought up was uncomfortable, I've kind of gotten over that now. I just have to make sure I'm not giggling along when the characters are embarrassed or someone makes a joke so bad it's good.

In all seriousness I think fan-fiction is an excellent way to stretch you're writing muscles and a way to give those aspiring writers a way to explore their style without having to make up characters, but give those characters alternate universe story lines and new relationships. These aspiring writers get to play with someone else's creation and a lot of the stuff on (ex.) http://archiveofourown.org has some really great prose and . These people who've spent time on a work of this fiction and then let others basically say what they want has allowed for peer to peer critiquing among the best people int he world - fangirls and fanboys.

The idea of Fanfiction was even taken notice by the creators of a little show called supernatural and was presented pretty well in one of the nest episodes of season ten, of the same name. It's almost a phenomenon.

It's a whole world of stories and alternate lives of the characters from TV that you've fallen in love with. I dare anyone whose read this, I implore you even to pick a character from any TV show, head over to Archive of our own, linked above and type in the name(s) of the character(s) you've chosen and I could offer a 90% chance of there having been at least one fan written fiction on that character.
A particularly interesting set of fics pop up if you put in Jesse Pinkman and yes the first one is as the title suggests. Read it. It made me laugh.

It's honestly a really fun thing to discover, so let me know if you've discovered some interesting and well written fan fiction and take my advice even if it's something you never thought you;'d want to do, it might be worth it to find a story that pulls you in.

Have a nice week everyone.

Cheers.
