    Fan fiction (alternately referred to as fanfiction, fanfic, FF, or fic) is a broadly-defined term for stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator. Works of fan fiction are rarely commissioned or authorized by the original work's owner, creator, or publisher; also, they are almost never professionally published. Fan fiction, therefore, is defined by being both related to its subject's canonical fictional universe while simultaneously existing outside that universe. Most fan fiction writers assume that other fans are reading their work, so their readers have knowledge of the canon universe (created by a professional writer) in which their works are based.

    Fanfiction refers to fictional stories written by fans of a particular television show, movie, or book. The stories contain the characters from the particular fandom as well as original characters created by the writer. A very unpopular type of original character is called a "MarySue". This character is impossibly beautiful and intelligent and the main character or characters immediately fall in love with her while the supporting characters worship her and become her BFF's. She usually is the only one smart enough to figure out how to save the day and more often than not dies or is horribly injured doing so. Fanfic readers despise this type character, and for good reason!

    It's believed that fanfiction got its start back in the late 60's and early 70's by Star Trek fans. In fact, they are responsible for creating the most popular genre of fanfiction, called “slash”. Slash fiction is fiction that contains a same sex relationship,usually between two of the main characters in the fandom. It gets it's name from the way the pairing is described, i.e. Kirk/Spock (the most popular pairing of Star Trek fans who enjoy the genre.). Fanfiction was shared among fans first by zines, which were printed collections of stories, and now via the web.

    There is fanfiction available for just about any show or movie you can think of, and for some books too, such as the Harry Potter series. For the most part, the studios, publishers and producers behind them tolerate fanfiction and aren't bothered by it. In fact some shows have actually accepted scripts written by fans! There are some exceptions though. George Lucas is notoriously anti-fanfic and will not hesitate to send a Cease and Desist letter out to any site found to have Star Wars fanfiction on it. Anne Rice, the author of several popular vampire novels, does much the same. Anne McCaffrey, a popular science fiction/fantasy author, used to crack down hard on fanfic but now allows it as long as fans follow the rules she's laid out on her website.

    Much of the fanfiction out there is very well written and obviously a labor of love for the writer. There's some bad stuff too, but you just may be surprised at what you find! Thanks to fanfic, legions of fans continue to enjoy their favorite television shows long after they've been canceled, and they keep the worlds created in many popular movies alive long after the credits fade from the screen.

    Wikipedia About Fanfiction

    Fan fiction (alternately referred to as fanfiction, fanfic, FF, or fic) is a broadly-defined term for stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator. Works of fan fiction are rarely commissioned or authorized by the original work's owner, creator, or publisher; also, they are almost never professionally published. Fan fiction, therefore, is defined by being both related to its subject's canonical fictional universe while simultaneously existing outside that universe. Most fan fiction writers assume that other fans are reading their work, so their readers have knowledge of the canon universe (created by a professional writer) in which their works are based.

    History

    Before about 1965, the term "fan fiction" was used in science fiction fandom to designate original, though amateur, works of science fiction published in science fiction fanzines, as differentiated from fiction that was professionally published by professional writers; or fiction about fans and fandom; but this usage is now obsolete. Modern definitions of the term exclude such entirely original writing from the category. Today, "fan fiction" writers are those who use characters and situations already created by other writers in order to develop their personal and preferred views of the story. For example, the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling has spawned an extensive fan fiction subgenre, in which the characters make choices and enjoy an afterlife that Rowling herself did not create, or deviate from the plotline of the actual books at a certain point, allowing a different route to be traveled.

    The modern phenomenon of fan fiction as an expression of fandom and fan interaction was popularized and defined via the Star Trek fandom and fanzines published in the 1960s. The first Star Trek fanzine, Spockanalia, was published in 1967 and contained some fan fiction.Fact: date=October 2008 In 1970, Mary Ellen Curtin, a Princeton University graduate researched the authors of various Star Trek fanfics, and her results showed an outstanding 83% female as opposed to 17% male writers.Fact: date=October 2008

    A similar trend in Japan also began appearing around the 1960s and 1970s, where fan fiction is known as dōjin or dōjinshi, which mostly revolve around manga and anime. Manga authors like Shotaro Ishinomori and Fujiko Fujio formed dōjin groups such as Fujio's . At this time dōjin groups were used by artists to make a professional debut. This changed in the coming decades with dōjin groups forming as school clubs and the like. This culminated in 1975 with the Comiket in Tokyo.

    Both Listproc and Usenet were invented in 1980, allowing public Internet-based gatherings of fans, and wider distribution of fan fiction; the internet as a whole would later become the most widely-used method of publication of fan fiction.
