TA TALKS BACK: FANFICKING!
Today, TAer LJ Summers writes in about fandom fan fiction - everything from the definition of fan fiction to the deep passion and depth of the fandom found within fan fiction.
Part the FirstFanficking: Verb. To be in the process of creating, enjoying or responding to fan fiction.
Fan Fiction: Noun. Works of fiction based (closely or loosely) upon someone else’s creative genius. Usually written in appreciation of the original by a dedicated admirer of the original work.
– Summers’ Off-the-cuff Dictionary, (c) 1980, 1992, 2000, 2009
There are multitudinous ways that people show appreciation for works of creativity in the arts. I have seen tattoos of famous literary characters in vibrant colors permanently etched into biceps. There are entire product lines dedicated to thematic money-makers (some cheesier than others) that cater to fans of all stripes and budgets. Musicians have been known to create original pieces to complement a book or movie they particularly admire. Artists of all media create works to express their involvement in and appreciation for characters and situations presented in original works. Have I mentioned dedicated websites, such as TwilightersAnonymous? Hm?
But nothing, in my experience, compares to the rich depth of fandom found in fan fiction.

I live in sweden and many of my friends read fanfictions. I’m addicted to it because it feels rong that breaking dawn is the last book of the saga.
