Default Has anyone ever read Fanfiction?

I used to love me some fanfiction and cacheborn's new signature got me remembering this really funny one about Mad-eye moody and young harry potter. Where Harry potter grows up a paranoid schizo always yelling Constant vigilance and murdering people.

btw Unleash Your Imagination - FanFiction.Net is the largest site for fanfiction which is essentially a place where you write alternative realities or perspectives or continuation of your favorite piece of "fiction". Such as a love scene between Ginny and Harry or something.

The first time I saw the term "Fanfic" I though it sounded like some exotic dessert... "Ah, savor the richness of a thick, warm blackberry fanfic..."

A proud member of the once notorious AFIslash.com

If you're a straight male, or a female not interested in m/m, don't even dare going to that site. Half the fics are NC-17.

That's basically where I got my start in writing. There's some crazy **** on that site, but that's the point--fanfiction is so strange it's like 4chan, but for writers. You can write about almost anything without being judged, and it's actually likely that someone somewhere will like it.

Good stuff for budding writers wanting to explore strange topics to better their writing. That's about it, though.

Oh, and fangirls. Cha.

I've read some of it, but most of it is just too bad to get through... the ideas are interesting, but the presentation is horrible...

What I did like was the fanfiction of HALO.. there are some comics and some videos that are extremely funny of blue vs red


halo blue vs red - Google Search


Oh... and am I the only one who simultaneously wanted to pick the second and last option... ??

I voted "All who read fanfiction must be burned, whipped, sodomized, and licked for evil" XD

In reality, I know of fanfiction, but have no interest in reading it. That option wasn't available, but loved the last choice!

The key to finding good fanfiction is finding some fanfic-er that you like and viewing their list of favorites. Especially the ones that have 3000 reviews or more.

Karanime would like slash :P.. I can't stand it.. no offense Esoecially since its so often Snape-Harry which makes 0 sense. There's never Harry-Ron which might be even feasible not that I would be interested unless it was really hilarious or really exciting/well-written.

I am mostly interested in the funniest fanfics and Harry-Ginny in the Harry Potter world or Harry Potter x-overs (cross-overs meaning Harry Potter might enter the world of Lord of the Rings or Firefly/Serenity or some other stuff) with something I've read.

If anyone wants to take a quick look at some of the funnier ones heres a funny short story to get you started off...This is just a really quick single chapter story in the Harry Potter Universe.
The DA Missions: Agent Furry Fury, a Harry Potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net

This is the one cacheborn reminded me of (personally I think the funniest thing I ever read)
Odd Ideas Chapter 4: CONSTANT VIGILANCE ! ! !, a Harry Potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net

Here's a list of some of the funniest/best ones:

A Black Comedy Chapter 1: PROLOGUE, a Harry Potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net
Make A Wish Chapter 1: Goodbye, a Harry Potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net
The Order of the Phoenix Chapter 1: Birthday Deliveries, a Harry Potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net
Here's basically the best fanfiction in my opinion and the only reason I was willing to continue to read fanfiction. I prolly reread it 6 times. Before I read this I was in the Burn people who consider reading fanfiction camp... but my sister is family (it is also one of the most popular ones despite still being incomplete because the author is a bastard)
Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past Chapter 1: Prologue The End of Days, a Harry Potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net

I started reading fanfiction when I came to the depressing and oppressing conclusion that there were no more pages in the last Harry Potter book...

If you have ever read a Sherlock Holmes story that wasn't by Doyle, then you've read fanfiction.

:P

Reminded me of this one.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see.

Watson replied: I see millions and millions of stars.

Holmes said: and what do you deduce from that?

Watson replied: Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, its quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life.

And Holmes said: Watson, it means that somebody stole our tent.

ANYWHOOO...

I love fan fiction, and some of it is better than the crap that gets published these days. I'm very picky with my fan fic though, it's gotta be well written stir up emotions and be sexy as hell. Gotta love the NC-17 Gossip Girl fan fics

I actually used to write t.A.T.u fan fic (most of it is NC-17), good times
