fanfiction.net

A website; a multi-multi-fandom archive for fanfic of all fandoms, pairings, ratings*, and genres. Fiction quality ranges from poor to excellent, by authors of all levels of experience and talent. Fanfiction.net used to house original fiction as well, before spawning FictionPress, where all previously submitted original fic is now stored.

* FanFiction.net caused a controversy a while back after banning all fanfic rated above R (NC-17). A number of fans boycotted the site after losing their fiction, and several others simply began assigning an R rating to graphic fic.

Unfiction

A fictional piece of media that attempts to suspend disbelief by asserting in some way that it is not fiction.

These stories are typically made in sites commonly used and easily accessible by others (e.g. YouTube, Tiktok, web forums, etc.), and are presented in common formats not typically used for storytelling (e.g. blogging, lets plays, tutorials, etc.)

Unfiction stories sometimes (though not always) have ARG elements - that is, they allow for audience interaction with the storyteller(s) to advance or alter the story.
Have you heard of this new unfiction series about this guy playing a videogame that his sister left when she died?
