They've probably got pretty good by now.

I was an edgy high schooler. It was a different time. Now I'm an lazy uni student

I don't know man, NeonZangetsu got worse somehow.

Keitaro/Mokoto fanfiction was my jam back in my primary school days.

This nigga knows whats up.

HOW

That's not necessarily a bad thing. I've read some really good fanfic, Japanese only though. English language fanfics never seem to get the character voices right.

You're literaly me except the writing part.

Try syosetu, 3 mil+ and on going

>They haven't improved

I think fanfiction in general is very good for people. It lets them make their own stories and experiment and build up communities around those stories.

My sister had a whole notebook full of romantic stories about herself and Sesshomaru from Inuyasha. You cannot get that kind of intense wish fulfillment from anything but fanfics.

>The halfass fanfic that I stopped writing 3 years ago suddenly got new subscriptions last month

tumblr please go

>tfw still read them
It's my guilty pleasure.

>mfw I started a Evangelion fanfic where Shinji gets trapped in an alternate universe where everyone had opposite personalities

>I got the idea from a Futurama episode
I still get notices every now and then about new subscriptions

>dat pic
source pls!

Why do people write fan fiction instead of the own fiction? I don't get it.

Recent anime got their script from a japanese fanfiction site.

I'm this faggotCan't speak for everyone else, but I was 18 years old, new to anime and just finished Evangelion. I had loved the series but the last two episodes fucked with my head and End of Eva left me wanting more. I'd never really experienced the ambiguity that's so common in anime. I was still really attached to the characters, but the uncertain outcome left me without closure. Plus, I didn't know it at the time, but I had entered into the territory of the best girl wars, so I was a shipping faggot as well.

You don't need to think up characters, plots or worldbuild at all, lazy fanfiction is like this -- which is most of it.

The standout ones are those that expand on the original work somehow.

Reminder that some of the best literature is basically fanfic

Tokyo Ghoul:Re is a clusterfuck of memes of shitty plot progression turned into shounen wankfest that on par with Nardo.

At this point it's more than a fanfic now.

Aren't most stories just fanfics that were serialized?

Because its fun to play around with existing characters and settings, either becuase you were somehow dissatisfied with the original work somehow or because you want to explore situation that would/could never occur in the original work.

>either becuase you were somehow dissatisfied with the original work somehow
Fixfics are universally garbage, though, even for fanfiction standards.
The authors come off as pretentious and arrogant in a lot of them, and the remaining are just plain old shit.

Is it still fanfic at this point?

>a single fanfiction is longer than the entirety of the source material
I wonder how often this actually happens.

well if you look att literature all the really good one takes place in an alternate universe of our own world. It's just not productive for plot to make up an entirely new setting every time.

I'm laughing because I know you are right.

historically it was used as a gateway to actually writing for the show 9in any medium); case in point Douglas Adams.

The same reason people make fanart instead of original art. It's too bad fanfiction has gone down in popularity in comparison to fanart.

It's up.

Because fanfiction relies on more than just the eyes, and thus has more stringent criteria for soundness (aka accuracy to the source).
With fanfiction:
>do the characters act plausible
>does the setting act plausible
>does the conflict act plausible
Writing a scene requires a lot more thought than what's on the surface.

>tfw you wrote porn fanfiction and it got on the feature side of the site.
Them times man.

What the fuck is going on in that picture and where does it come from?
And why do I want more?

I started writing a fanfiction based on this image but stopped in shame.

>remembering the fanfic you wrote

>mfw some guy wrote over a hundred chapters of Percy Jackson smut
This is why I fell in love with the Internet

Same reason you masturbate to hentai from anime.

you lucky fuck.

You are just jealous they have better writing skills than you.

Naruto became a test subject in the hands of Orochimaru, the pain he suffered was unreal, and soon he became distant to everyone. One day Naruto escapes, from the lab and met up with a certain orange haired boy and his family. Find out if the Kurasakis could heal the wound in Naruto's heart.

Only the ones you like, dumbass

Ah, fanfiction.net is a beautiful place. I'll never forget that 130,000 word long fanfiction that was a cross-over of Kim Possible and fucking Gravity's Rainbow. Like, who the fuck comes up with that AND keeps it going for 130,000 words?

>It's too bad fanfiction has gone down in popularity in comparison to fanart.

Not without reason. Fanfiction suffers from two major issues:

1. Quality.
2. Amount.

These problems are exacerbated in fanfiction. Someone who makes 2-3 fanart pictures will generally seem less autistic than the person who wrote a 2k-3k word fanfiction even if both the scenarios and quality of work is similar.

I had a young English teacher in high-school who admitted to writing Inuyasha fan fiction. We could never find it lol

>the fanfiction gets a movie deal

Yeah for some reason, writing any amount of fanfiction is always seen as autistic now, even if 2k words is barely an hour of work if you're on a roll.

>tfw you want to finish the stories you were halfway through writing, but you know there's no demand for it and everyone will think you're a loser for having written it.

>for some reason
Dumb sperg

I think it comes down to the way both medium works as well. Staring at a picture takes no time at all. You can easily go on Pixiv and see a hundred fanarts less than a hour, and you'll usually only look at good ones because thumbnails already allows you to appraise their quality.
Whereas you have to read a fanfiction to know if it's good or not, and that takes way more time and effort (even if it's 12yo kid's sonic OC fanfic tier of bad). Reading also means that you have to be more involved than when simply watching a picture.

I want tumblr to fucking leave.

Some fanfiction is REALLY good.
I've been reading an Oregairu x Danmachi fic and it's great.

...

Go read this: royalroadl.com/fiction/9957

And then apologize for your stupidity.

It happened a few times.

Well it's probably mostly to do with all the really bad crossover fanfiction and people shoving their mary sue OCs into everything giving it a bad rap.

Still it's weird that fanfiction is widely considered to be fucking cancer, but if you took that fanfiction and drew it as a comic in manga style nobody would look down on your doujin.

Because it takes way more effort, can you not understand this?

For a fanfiction to be good, the source material has to be good, and both Oregairu and Danmachi are fucking trash

As I thought, this civilization was a mistake

I don't know, man.

Personally I think it's fancomic > fanfiction > fanart in terms of autism. Again, even if they're all about as good and took similar effort to make.

Now you might say "fuck you user, you're the autist" but hear me out: Think of all the absolute worst fanworks. Most of them are fancomics. Sonic turning into a toilet? Comic. Helga piloting an angel while getting possessed by majin buu? Comic. Yukkuri? Oh you can bet the worst and most detailed are the comics.

>but if you took that fanfiction and drew it as a comic in manga style nobody would look down on your doujin.

If by "nobody" you mean the entirety of the human race excluding a handful of exceptionally open-minded weebs, whose opinions on the other hand aren't worth anything.

No way. You can easily tell if a fanfiction is in the bottom 70% from just the one or two line summary alone. Then you can eliminate the next bottom 25% by skimming through the first two pages of the first chapter. Protip: If you see the words "mutter", "glare", "smirk", or "sigh" more than once, or if there is too much dialogue, or if you see any CAPS LOCK, or if you see someone described as "the blue-haired girl" or "the bluenette", it's shit.

What's your favorite fanfic?

>Everyone shits on written fanfiction
>Everyone loves fanart and doujinshi despite them also being fanfiction

Explain this hipocrisy

Well, those are things that apply to writing of all kinds in general. Not just fanfiction.

I agree, the worst of the worst are for the most part comics, but still, in spite of this, you rarely see people dismiss the entire category of fanwork offhand. I think that's due to how quickly you can decide if you like it or not. For fanart, it's just a piece of art, so you can quickly see if you like it and move on if you don't. For a comic, you can generally get a sense within a few pages of what the artstyle and tone is like, and you move through it more quickly than a written story. Now, a written work can go sour at any point, like a comic, but it generally takes much longer to get through and requires that you invest yourself in the story to really enjoy it. It's much more difficult to sift through written works looking for gems, and image-based media. I'd guess even most people open to fanworks dismiss fanfiction as a defense mechanism simply because it takes too long to separate the wheat form, the chaff.

Writer here. Don't write fanfics but it's easy to see why one would, wish fulfillment reasoning aside. The world, and its characters are already developed for you. You don't have to sit down and figure out how the magical world functions or how Harry lost his parents. You can just write.

Why is it hypocrisy?

99.9% of the people who write fanfiction are awful at writing. You have to dig really deep to get something that can be considered almost decent.

Doujinshi and fanart have their shitty parts too, but it's not nearly as high as written fanfiction.

I'm out with fanfiction, people don't give a shit.

I get better results with pure greentext

They like big butts?

Yes, but doing every you said takes up to a minutes, wich is way longer than staring at a picture for two seconds.
It's much easier to find good fanarts and doujinshi than good fanfictions.

fanfiction.net/s/7021752/1/And-What-Alice-Found-There

>>Everyone loves fanart and doujinshi despite them also being fanfiction

Fanart (not doujins) are more "humble" to the creator and original story than fanfiction.

There is a difference between changing the story of the original, adding your own characters, steering the plot in a different direction,etc. and say drawing one of the characters smiling in a sundress.

Of course sexy fanart is a different thing, but bottom line is that fanart doesn't compete with the source material directly, while fanfiction does. Fanart also doesn't give off "I don't like this and I think I can do better" vibes like fanfiction can.

If you want attention then write for popular series.

I've been reading the same thing
Here, have some fanart.

How do you even find good fanfiction? To wallow through the ocean of shit and pray you find a diamond on it?

Any tip to avoid over usage of such words? Thanks.

>inb4 reeeee
I really recommend this fanfic to you fags, it's amazingly well done and you don't really need to know anything about either of the series that it molds together.

Source: I sstarted this series knowing absolutely nothing about Danmachi or Oregairu, didn't even know it was a fanfic until I was halfway through the story.

Pretty much.

Can you imagine all the shit people used to write before the internet existed to document all of it?

Sup Forums - tumblr & fanfictions
fucking mods

They probably didn't write much, since there was no ready audience.

I'm currently in the process of writing a Digimon/Fate crossover, just for the punchline to be a Cyberdramon jogress/bio evolution with Saber into Examon

>Since there was no ready audience
You wish.

Even if there was no internet there was correspondence. People formed clubs. Shared ideas with one another. There was fan-magazines as well.

>The modern phenomenon of fan fiction as an expression of fandom and fan interaction was popularized and defined via Star Trek fandom and their fanzines published in the 1960s. The first Star Trek fanzine, Spockanalia (1967), contained some fan fiction; many others followed its example.[4]:1 These fanzines were produced via offset printing and mimeography, and mailed to other fans or sold at science fiction conventions for a small fee to help recoup costs. Unlike other aspects of fandom, women dominated fan fiction authoring; 83% of Star Trek fan fiction authors were female by 1970, and 90% by 1973.[5] One scholar states that fan fiction "fill[s] the need of a mostly female audience for fictional narratives that expand the boundary of the official source products offered on the television and movie screen."[6]

>you never got around to writing that fanfiction you always daydreamed about 12 years ago

>What is Divine Comedy

How do you write your material?

Do you use the format of those translated light/web novels?

...

Imagine all the fanfiction of shit like the Iliad, Gilgamesh, and super old stuff like that. Heck, you could argue that even shit like the Bible is fanfiction to a certain extent.

One traveler listens to someone say something about someone doing some amazing shit and then at the next town he goes while he's drinking at the bar he tells the same story except this time he adds some spice and flavor to it. That counts as fanfiction too.

>that ssbb fanfic

>Still have ideas such as those to this day
>None will ever come to reality

I read one about familiar of zero and dark souls and it had like 800k words.

and it was actually pretty good

>10 year old me finding out about lemon Tenchi Muyo fanfiction
