What is fan fiction?

The Official P/T Collective Archive
Fan Fiction" is fiction based on a television series, written by fans. Fanfic—by and large—is not scripts but prose. While some have chosen to write their fanfic in teleplay form, those are few and far between. Pieces range in length from vignettes (1000 words) to short stories to full blown novels (50,000+ words).

F.A.Q.: Frequently Asked Questions
Fan fiction is a term I believe started with fans of Star Trek. These "trekkies" began to write their own stories about the characters in the series and thus the name "fan fiction" was born. Harry Potter fanfics have been around since mid-1999. Authors create their own stories about what they think the characters are really like, what situations might be interesting to put them in, etc.. My favourite places to read fanfics are in my own Fan Works section and Fiction Alley.

Can I post pictures/fiction?

GC Frequently Asked Questions
NO! Do not even think about using GirlChat as a place for exchanging pictures, nor to post fictional writing. In different localities different materials are considered illegal. For instance a fictional story involving children while not illegal under federal law in the US, is illegal under federal law in Canada. Therefore we must ban all such material. This restriction is not because GirlChat is pro-censorship, even the subject of child pornography elicits a range of opinion here.

What about self publishing?

FAQs for Writers
If having a book between covers is all that you are interested in, then go ahead and self publish. (But go to a local printer. Stay away from "vanity" publishers, who tell you how wonderful you are and then double charge you.) It will cost you quite a bit and--if you're lucky--it will look professional. But then you will have hundreds and hundreds of books that you can't even GIVE away. A friend recently showed us a self-published book. It was very nicely done.

Have you thought about publishing this as a book?

Digital Photography FAQ
Part of what makes the FAQ interesting for me and useful for other is, I think, that it's a living document. It's constantly evolving and contains many links that people can follow to get more information. I'm afraid that it would lose some of this appeal in printed form.

Are your books fiction or non-fiction?

Frequently Asked Questions - Kristin Joy Pratt-Serafini - Aw...
That’s another good question. I would say they are a little of both. All the environmental science in my books is real, of course. The characters and their adventures are made up, although some of the things that happen to the characters actually happened to me. Bookstores and libraries generally put my books in the non-fiction environmental science section.

Why do you write only science fiction?

FAQ About Sylvia Engdahl and Her Science Fiction Novels
I write about space and other worlds because I believe that expansion into space is essential to human survival, and that how people feel about the universe beyond Earth is therefore becoming more and more crucial. I have been convinced of its importance for more than 50 years (my interest in space exploration began in 1946, long before it was either a reality or a subject popular with the general public). For more about my views on this, see Space and Human Survival at this Web site.

CAN I POST BINARIES OF ARTWORK BASED ON ASPRIN'S FICTION HERE?

Robert Lynn Asprin FAQs
No. Alt.Fan.Asprin is not a binary newsgroup and many newsgroup providers carry the newsgroup with that expectation. There is also the problem that some people actually pay for the time it takes to read newsgroups and sometimes binary posts can cause them to spend a great amount of time online for artwork they can not and may not wish to view. The best way to handle the situation is to post a pointer to a web page or a newsgroup (such as alt.binaries.pictures.cartoons or alt.binaries.pictures.

Trixie Belden Homepage Frequently Asked Questions
Fan Fiction can be found at http://barbln.org/trixie/fanfic.htm. Fan Fiction is loosely rated at the Trixie Belden Homepage. Why rate fan fiction? The Trixie Belden series is juvenile fiction and so visitors to this webpage are often under the age of 18. This site tries to be family-friendly in the spirit of the Bob-Whites. The ratings can help steer some fans away from what they'd prefer not to read or help them discover new stories that will appeal to them.

What is Christian fiction?

Arjay Books FAQ
Christian fiction is, first of all, Christian. It has elements, even if allegorical, that deal with Christian themes and ideas such as the nature, attributes and actions of God, creation, the fall of humankind, the incarnation and historicity of Christ, the redemption He worked, and the struggle between good and evil. There is a clear line between the latter two.
