I just read a romance and I kept thinking it felt a little like fan fiction (no shade, I enjoy) but I couldn’t pick the fandom — until I checked GoodReads and ohhhh, it’s Roy Kent.
He’s here! He's there! He's every-f*cking-where!
(I even thought one of the side characters (not a coach) was a bit like Ted Lasso and still didn’t pick the grumpy hairy ex-footballer lead as Roy Kent!)
I have reached one of those dreaded moments in fanfic writing where I butt my head up against the canon related to what I had planned, and like a wise old soul I am rerouting around it. Making up my own colony for these OCs to be from. Nobody can tell me no. #fanfic#writing#Transformers#OCs
Visit #FanFiction.net, and you too can try to decide who you dislike more: #CloudFlare, the website admins, or the authors who keep posting there (hint: the last one is kind of unreasonable but not entirely without merit). Most websites give you at least one reason to hate them in 2024, but this is a three-for-one deal. For even more choice, get your #fanfic recommendations through #Reddit, where everybody ends up linking to the terrible, unnecessary mobile-specific version of the site because they have a terrible, unnecessary mobile-specific version of the site. #fanfiction

This is completely outside of my wheelhouse, but I recently listened to an audiobook where the author went into detail about how massive the #fanfic world is, and I couldn't stop thinking about how awesome it would be if the major sites started integrating #ActivityPub into their platforms.
You see, in the strictest sense, a fanfiction is an unlicensed/unauthorised derivative of a Copyrighted work.
Since the Public Domain, and the Attribution and ShareAlike licenses (provided you follow the license terms), allow for anyone to create a derivative work, then any and all works based on it are not fan fiction.
@trdebunked I think, yes, the safest is to make it clear on the original author's side regarding the world they created.
If for them everything else not written by them, or “approved” by them, is a fanfic, then it is a fanfic. If they say they are not, then they are not.
The tricky part now is, for PD works where the author already passed away.
I think, in this case, if the author of the derivative work says that what they've written is fanfiction, then it is. It will cover what was suggested by another user, re: the #fanfic community of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, they call their works fan fiction.
I'm 30 seconds into #ouranhighschoolhostclub and I'm like 90% sure that it can be described as a #utena#fanfic. So many roses. So many framings. Even an arrow pointing at things.
I mentioned to my boss that I write #fanfic for #anime fandoms because I'm a fucking temp what the hell I only work here for four days.
He then told me he reads #DoctorWho fanfic! That's... That's crazy. Well. Not really. Shouldn't be crazy lots of older people read fanfic. But it's nice to know I'm not alone.
(I'm the 20yr old warding off cars from parking where they shouldn't, he owns the liquor store).
"Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality," a 600,000-word fanfic, is wildly popular with tech folk — to the extent that there's a character in it called Emmet Shear (the name of OpenAI's interim CEO, who was gifted the namecheck as a birthday present). @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler investigates the connection.
Todays #fimfic#fanfic Recommendation
"Do wings turn you gay, Headmare Twilight?" https://www.fimfiction.net/story/458795/do-wings-turn-you-gay-headmare-twilight
A short Very silly romantic comedy fic set many years after the end of the series. Silverstream who is now the Ambassador of the Hippogriffs and is visiting Twilight. Out of the Blue she asks the question Do wings turn you gay. Silverstream has not been able to name a single creature with wings who is exclusively straight and is wondering about twilight since she gained her wings later in life. This fic has 2 wonderful readings.
MGSX - Metal Gear Solid Exchange is an exchange geared toward any kink, any ship, any scenario, so long as it is Metal Gear! And we are back for round 2!
Final update on daily number of new single chapter fics under the #OFMD tag on #AO3 during the July-October observation period in 2022 and 2023. The cumulative number of single chapter fics in 2023 was 5.4% less than in 2022.
The new season did push the numbers up. 55% of 2023 fics were posted in October, compared to 34% of 2022 fics.
The highest daily number of fics was 102 on the day the final episode of S2 aired (26 Oct 2023).
OMG, I wrote a short fix-it fic! It’s been a long while since I wrote and published something within only a few hours, instead of polishing it for ages.
That weird feeling if someone reads all your old #DoctorWho#fanfic and leaves kudos? This mixture of being completely excited someone still likes it combined with the feeling of "WTF, how did you FIND it?"
Since the #reddit rebellion has been quashed and things have gotten quiet. I have been tossing around the idea of setting up a #lemmy#instance for #Fandom to share links and stuff like the old days of reddit.
I recently came to the realisation that all of us, Ao3 reader reading porn all day long while doing mondain things, are basically this guy. I’m currently reading porn with a poker face while eating at a restaurant :smug10: #Ao3#Fanfic#HeIsLikeMeForReal
You Shall Become (Me) by jedipati. Complete. This is a crack fic where the guardians of the sith temple are pissed off at Darth sidius for being a wanker and Obiwan accidentally becomes a sith Lord. Very good. Highly recommend. https://archiveofourown.org/works/6113875/chapters/14013484
The Desert Storm by Blue_Sunshine excellent storytelling, absolutely massive, (to the extent it reminds me of Saving Connor) still updating. This is a series of fics under a collection. Has a wide host of OC's and some excellent storytelling and development of Shmi's character. Later parts feature an incredibly scary Darth Plaegious. With all that said, it's pace is at times disappointingly slow, and I don't like Anakin, who the later parts focus on. https://archiveofourown.org/series/1311746
I think that's all for now. I'll add more as I find them. Feel free to recommend me fics to read as well. #reclist#swfic
This is a spoof of Hbomberguy's takedown of James Summerton... except.. it's SpaceBomberGuy making a five hour expose video on Chancellor Palpatine. It is amazing. Just amazing. I can't recommend it enough.
