The site where I find most of the fanfiction I try to read is archiveofourown.org. I suggest you check that out. Most of my friends who read fan fiction also read from this.

I don't think it would be plagiarism if it is the same author who wrote the fanfiction and the published work. An example is E. L. James. She wrote Fifty Shades of Grey originally as a erotic fanficion of Twilight. I don't think James plagiarized herself, do you?AliceRose wrote: ↑17 Sep 2013, 16:08This, for me, is where the problem lies. In my opinion, Cassandra Clare relies way too heavily on other people's style of writing... J. K. Rowling's, mainly, with a dash of Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.Zain wrote:Good old fanfiction ... yes, I have some great memories and from time to time I still indulge myself. There's some great stuff out there, and then there are works which just make you groan in agony. It's actually funny that some people see fanfictions as child's play, considering that many authors started out there with their career. Take Cassandra Clare for example.
Fanfiction is entertaining to read online, but when something that was originally fanfiction becomes a published work, it's hard to distinguish whether that can be classed as plagiarism, just with a few name changes.

I like stories that ask the question, "What if Character X had done Y?"

IMO, Fanfiction is your interpretation of the characters, the plot, the story. "What's canon" doesn't mean much when we throw it into the trash and make up an entire new story. (Well, don't ignore all of canon– but you get what I mean.) Like people have said here, it's a very self-indulgent thing so dedicate it to yourself, not other people.

My friends and I sometimes make up stories about fandoms we’re in and I’m tasked with writing them down. Fan-fiction can be weird but is also really cool, especially when it’s written accurate to the actual book/movie.
