What is fan fiction?

Fan FICTION refers to secondary creation using elements such as characters, storylines or background settings from original comics, animations, novels, and film and television works.

The carrier of fan fiction

Generally speaking, online novels are the carrier.

The form of fan fiction

1. A complete interpretation of the original work, that is, a text version of comics, movies, or others. 2. Emotional analysis of the original characters. 3. Other plots developed by the original characters under the original setting. 4. Other stories about the original characters in different time and space backgrounds. 5. An interpretation of the original fairy tale. 6. Other types. It can be seen from this that the special form of fan fiction is fundamentally attached to the original work, which has a fundamental decisive role in the expression of its content and the attitude of readers and authors towards it. Fan fiction generally comes from animation works, film and television works, singer bands, games, etc., and the types are relatively rich. [1] In recent years, with the high-intensity exposure of social figures such as sports figures, entertainment figures, and political figures, real-life fan fiction among fan fiction has also gradually emerged. However, the current general fan culture circle does not accept real-life fan fiction. The mainstream opinion in the fan fiction circle is that fan fiction involving real people should not be classified as fan fiction

Classification of fan fiction

Prequel and follow-up category

Create prequel and follow-up works for existing works. Generally speaking, the character personalities and story backgrounds of this type of fan fiction are not much different from the original work.

Time travel type

It can be that characters in the work travel to other eras, or people in modern times can travel into the work. At the same time, there is another type of time-travel work called soul time-travel, in which the souls of modern people time-travel into the characters. This is a relatively controversial form of creation in fan works, especially when the soul travels through time and is accompanied by a gender change.

Original character category

A fictional character participates in the development of the original story. Relatively speaking, this type of work is less controversial.
