Re: Fanfiction
I had a good time, ain't no shame about it
Being a fan itself involves writing a chapter or two in your mind, if not an entire story, right? I'm thankful to the authors for verbalizing some of the fantasies on behalf of other fans
Well, one thing for sure, I'd prefer "adult contemporary" fanfic writers. (if there's a term like this). Teenagers' writing would be cute and fun enough to peep through, but...I wouldn't be able to keep on reading.
P.S. Come to think of it, I haven't read any for years!
(This thread is making me go right ahead and look for some lol)

I think of fanfic as its own "classification" of book that can have any other genre (ie. fantasy, romance, mystery, horror), and I have read some fics that I've really enjoyed.

I always keep in mind that the writers created the fanfics out of love for the original content / person, and there have been a few fanfics that, personally, I thought were exceptionally written.

What do you read? :D I mean, your fandom and fanfics?

I've gotten into fanfiction mostly from videogames (ie. Undertale, Detroit Become Human, Some obscure Japanese visual novels) and some animes / mangas. I've even given writing fanfiction a shot, but out of embarrassment, I usually don't let other people know what fanfics I like/read/write. And I stay anonymous (or under some pseudonym) whenever posting anything.
How about your fandoms and fanfics?

There's certainly plenty of poor quality facfiction, but there are also many fics I've read that are better written than most novels. The nice thing about fanfiction is that you can easily bypass any fics that seem poorly written or that don't seem to your taste, whereas there's much more of an obligation to read a book if you've actually bought it. I'm so appreciative to all fanfiction writers because they allow me to read such great stories for free.
Most fanfictions I read are spinoffs of shows that I enjoy, though recently I have also begun reading some about comic book characters. Some fics I read are wish-fulfillment and more lighthearted alternate realities, but many are just as (or more) tragic than the original story was. In general, I look for stories about characters that I really enjoyed within the show. And yes, sometimes this includes fics about couples that never become canon who I just wish would get together.

If you look at comic books, you could argue that nothing is canon. Every artist or writer passing through has their own interpretation. Such is the same with TV. A show gets a contract, screenwriters and directors come on for 1 or 2 episodes. The important thing is to stay true to the characters. If you betray what's already there, then it doesn't go down well.
I am planning to write some fanfic myself. I've never done it before because it felt wrong. In this case, I felt something had to be done about the Alien movies. The 3rd and 4th films were terrible. I want to roll it back and give Aliens a sequel it deserved.
