What is Fan fiction?
[[File:New-adventures-of-alice-cover-1917.png|[[:w:New Adventures of Alice]], 1917, John Rae|thumb]]'''Fan fiction''' or '''fanfiction''' (also known as fanfic) is a name for [[fiction]] created by fans instead of the original [[author]]. Fanfiction writers take [[fictional character]]s and [[fictional universe|settings]] from [[fiction]]al (or sometimes [[history|historical]]) stories that were created by other people, and write original [[story|stories]] about them. People write fan fiction for many different [[book]], [[television programme|television series]], and [[movie]] [[fandom]]s. When fanfiction first began, it was often only published in fan magazines. Today fanfiction, like many fandom activities, can be usually found on the [[internet]]. This has created many fanfiction communities. People in these communities post their fanfiction and receive feedback (reviews) from other community members. There is also fan art (also called fanart), which is often drawings or other visual art based on a fandom. ==Related pages== *[[Fandom]] *[[Fictional universe]] == Other websites == {{commonscat|Fan fiction}} *[http://www.fanfiction.net/ Fanfiction.net] {{lit-stub}} [[Category:Fan fiction| ]]
