A fun pass time for anyone to partake in, fanfiction (often abbreviated into 'fanfic' or 'fic'). Various types of fanfiction include, but are not limited to…
•Oneshot (A fanfic that is
one chapter
long)
•Twoshot (A fanfic that is two chapters
long)
•Threeshot (A fanfic that is three chapters
long)
•Novel-length
•Short story
•Drabble (
one-hundred or near
words in length)
•Ficlet (shorter than a drabble, yet still relevant enough to be a story)
There are many more, but listing them all would take too
long.
Many of them are written by illiterate idiots who
don't bother to proofread or use a spell-
check, and they often have many horrible stories. However, there are plenty of literate, believable, proofread fanfictions out there if you know where to look.
Almost any genre and scenario has been written at least once. And pairings are never-ending as well.
•Slash (MxM)
•Femmeslash/Femslash (FxF)
•Gen (No relationship, or it's not a
big part)
•
Het (MxF)
Those are types of pairings. Fanfiction can be an amazing thing if you know how and where to look for it. (Hint: archiveofourown.org AO3 is a great place with a great community. I wouldn't recommend FanFiction.net simply because of the lack of acknowledgement for new writers)
Happy reading!
Person One: Man, that Death Note fanfiction I read last night was awesome!
Person Two: What was it called? I want to check it out.
