What's Your Favorite Fanfiction?

[Gizmo j]

If you like Harry Potter and you have dad issues there's no way you won't like "Harry's New Home" the woman who wrote it has a PhD in English, and she puts her degree to work in this fanfic!

The plot is that Harry was abused by the Dursleys (Way more then in canon) and snape becomes his guardian.

There are 64 chapters but at first she was just going to make a couple, but people kept encouraging her to make more so she decided to make the story a lot longer.

What I like most of this fanfic is that there are so many different point of views and internal dialogue,
It's kind of like the video game "Life Is Strange True Colors" where you can read other people's minds.




Below are the most popular fandoms in order.

Star Trek is one of my favorite things, but the few 'fan fiction' books I've read/listened to, have been... wanting... The writing was pretty terrible, and this is from pros; in some cases having stories run in the tv series, and acting consultants for the franchise. I'm not an elitist where if it isn't fine literature it's crap, but I do have standards. I may give the books a try again, but I think I'll stick with the shows.

One I really did like was the audiobook A Stitch in Time written and read by Andrew Robinson(Garak). Highly recommended for fans of DS9 and Garak, and who doesn't love Garak?!

A lot of fanfiction is wrote by teenagers, but not all of them, as I said before the woman who wrote Harrys New Home has a PhD in English.

I've never read any fan fiction, I still have so many books by regular authors I haven't read that I'm still working on, or books I haven't read in many years that I want to re-read. The idea itself just doesn't seem particularly appealing to me. I mean, I would have liked Douglas Adams to have lived longer and written more books, but I have no interest in the book Eoin Colfer wrote.

LoL is that really you Alky?

 

[WelshBloke]

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Don't know if there are a lot of fans,

Ooh. That can be a difficult read! Good books though, I have some hardbacks from the 70s.

The New Testament is right up there.

Quoting some random blog quoting some other random person, but I think this is an interesting analogy.

Abrahamic Religion as a Trilogy

Joel at The Chruch of Jesus Christ posted this brilliant analogy, “How to Explain the Religions of Abraham to the Hollywood Generation”: Think of it like a movie. The Torah is the first…

Think of it like a movie. The Torah is the first one, and the New Testament the sequel. Then the Qu’ran comes out, and it retcons the last one like it never happened. There’s still Jesus, but he’s not the main character anymore, and the messiah hasn’t shown up yet.

Jews like the first movie but ignored the sequels. Christians think you need to watch the first two, but the third movie doesn’t count. The Moslems think the third one was the best, and Mormons liked the second one so much, they started writing fanfiction that doesn’t fit with ANY of the series canon.
