Fanfiction

Hello!

This is a wiki for listing great fanfiction sites, great fanfiction, and anything along those lines.

Now, for those who don't know, fanfiction is pretty much just stories and writings that contain characters from: shows, bands, movies, books, anything. Most of the time, Fanfictions are what one person wanted in the genre, like if you are big on Harry Potter and think that Draco and Hermione would go great together, you write a fanfiction about it. Or if you want to read/write a "Mary Sue" which features a character of your own making. But Fanfiction doesn't always have to have a famous character in it. It can be completely original characters in the universe of the author's choosing.

There are some basic blurbs you should know when you are scouring through the following sites. These blurbs are the keys to avoiding that which you do not wish to read.

Lemon = mature sexual language and descriptions, trust me, these aren't fun to stumble upon, other warning include "citrus flavored," and variants of that.

Fic = shortening of fanfiction, also shortened to a longer version of "fanfic"

Mary Sue = a lovey-dovey happy fic, usually feature pairings which are not compatible to the format of the universe

Ship = originally "Relationship" shortened to " 'Ship " and finally the apostrophe was dropped. A ship is what the story features, like Draco/Hermione is a ship, and Inuyasha/Kagome is a ship.

Slash = man on man ships, you will see these as "Draco/Harry" and "Kouga/Inuyasha"

FemmeSlash = the other kind. Indicators are "Hermion/Ginny" and "Kikyo/Kagome"

Universe = the place where the fic takes place, Harry Potter normally takes place in the Harry Potter universe

AU = shortening of "Alternate Universe" where the author takes the characters out of their home and places them elsewhere. A Sesshoumaru/Rin ship in the 21st century would be AU

Canon = certified by the original author/creator of the universe and characters. The Harry/Ginny ship is canon, as is a fragile Inuyasha/Kagome.

Non-canon = non-certified, never to be certified ships. Draco/Hermione, Sasuke/Naruto, and Sesshoumaru/Sango are all non-canon ships.

There are several others, but they are mostly self-explanatory.

Another note for reading fanfiction: what you are reading someone put some thought into (no matter what it looks like on the outside) the story. People usually write fanfics to suit their craving for a certain ship in a certain situation. It is very rude to say "Zutara sux bcuz kataang is teh shit and u shoud die" because you do not like the Zuko/Katara ship and prefer the Katara/Aang one. How would you feel if someone said that your Katara/Aang was awful?

Quizilla is a great ff site. Just go to the stories section, and there's thousands upon thousands of options.

www.fanfiction.net is another great site where you can spend many an hour with your favorite people.

HarryPotterFanFiction a site for those Harry Potter lovers. It has some of the best stories out there, I think.

DeviantART is not so much fanfiction as art. There are many fanfiction clubs on the site however, and I, nmminut would be glad to point you towards some

Well, that should get you started! Anyone can add more links if they find an awesome site. :D

A supermegan creation. :D
