I Spend Too Much Time Reading Fan Fiction [REPACK]

Not much, really. When I was about 18 I bought a copy of Star Trek: the New Voyages, edited by by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath, which was all fanfic, and enjoyed it. Beyond that, I've read lots of things that could absolutely qualify as fanfic (Cthulhu mythos stories! Sherlock Holmes stories! The majority of what's been published by Marvel or DC post 1972!) but have never gone, "I love Gormenghast (for example). I wonder if there's any more Gormenghast fiction out there. I will do a websearch."
I don't think I have the engines for it -- that's not a bad or good thing, that's just how I am. Then again, my reading-for-pleasure time is always incredibly limited, and there's always a shelf or two of books that people have sent me hoping I can read them and another shelf or two of books I've bought and was hoping to read, not even counting the stuff I have to read for "work" (in inverted commas because reading for example Sandman scripts never really feels like work, but it all has to be read as well).
vbartilucci asked: In the afore-linked chat about The Doctor's Wife, you give your opinion of the Corsair's fate. How does it feel as a writer when people are so desperate to see more of a character you created, they will spend inordinate amounts of their time finding ways to subvert, change or modify the fates you chose for them?
I was the girl who always had a book in her hand. At home, I stored books on bookshelves, under my pillow, or under the bed (that was where the romance novels were stashed when I was in high school!). In school I got in trouble multiple times for reading a paperback behind my textbook when I was supposed to be working. But what was I supposed to do? There were all these great things to read and not nearly enough time to read them all in!
I am a HUGE reader. FH is not and makes fun of me (lovingly) for being such a bookworm all of the time. I usually cuddle up to him and read while he watches sports or plays video games. But what he doesn't know is that I also enjoy reading fanfiction. I put it on my Kindle so that it just looks like I'm reading a book.
I have been reading fanfiction since I was in middle school. Only one close friend knows. I don't really talk about it with other people. That said, I really want to tell FH. We've been together for almost 2 years and I hate keeping secrets. But I'm nervous because I also read fanfiction that ships homosexual relationships. How do I even explain that?
I agree that it seems more of a personal issue with it. I'm also a heterosexual female, would most likely never experiment with another female in my life, but I do enjoy watching or reading homosexual relationships. I'll mention it to FH from time to time but he doesn't think that I may leave him for a woman or something. We all have our quirks that we love to indulge in but it doesn't mean that it defines who we are outside of those mediums.
I read fan fiction and fandom headcanons on blogs all the time. Like Kate said, my conversations are very similar to her example. Or sometimes I get REALLY excited about my fandoms or about a certain piece of writing and tell my fiance about it, even the non hetero- normative stuff. If your FH's a little bit into video games and stuff, he might even understand fandoms and shipping, including the homosexual content that often comes with it. I think it'll be fine when you bring it up.
Nah, it's honestly not really a big deal. I remember when I was afraid of telling FH about my actual kinks in the bedroom. He didn't seem like the type to engage in stuff that I enjoy but I expressed that I wanted to try it out and because he loves me, he gave it a shot. Of course, that's different from reading but I would imagine that since he wouldn't have to have an active role if he's uncomfortable, it shouldn't bother him much if at all. Take the time to work up the courage but just know that you're putting too much thought into it and you'll feel relieved that now your FH knows you on a deeper level since you were able to open it up to him
I'm going to take everyone's advice and just tell him it's fanfiction the next time he brings it up. We just went to Harry Potter World so I've been in a huge HP mood lately. At least he'll know which character's I'm talking about and not be lost in that respect.
FH knows that I read Fanfiction and am pretty actively involved in the fandom on Tumblr. I was nervous to tell him at first but it wasn't too long in to dating that I just told him straight up 'look i really enjoy this and its kind of a personal thing so i dont need you to be involved but i want you to know!' he has been very sweet about it, even if he does tease me about it light heartedly sometimes.
I find online reading quite convenient: my phone is always with me, and I learn so much about the world, from genocide accounts in Rwanda to deforestation in India to book publications on topics as varied as astronomy and gardening. I also read fiction online, on the Forge Literary magazine which I help edit, and also many other magazines online.
What about you? How much time do you spend online, doing what? How has that changed your life from that of your parents, for example? How much of your reading is online, and does that affect your offline reading? Does it matter? What would you wish online reading were like?
I am online only for my blog and blog-hopping. I would rather read books offline than online. Holding a book to read feels a lot more enjoyable than reading an e-book. And, as much as I love the online world, I am making conscious efforts to maintain safe distance lest I get sucked into it and lose my peace of mind! ? Not that everything here is disturbing, but I like the kind of peace my parents enjoy, far away from the madding (virtual) crowd !
I only read other blogs online. For books and other reading I am generally offline. The other time I spent online is searching and listening to music. I do a lot of searching into new artists and bands for the music I love to hear. So I am active both online and offline.
The new iOS started tracking the screen time. I was initially very excited with the data it showed. But when I deep dive into what am I really reading, I see that it is a lot of social media time. Twitter for news or FB for the usual fun stuff and IG for pictures. Now that upsets me. I am trying to bring it down and I will. But I do feel that too much time online is not as good.Thanks for making me think!
Apart from news, I pretty much read everything else online. I love the routine of reading newspapers with a cup of tea every morning. I do read news online during the day every now and then, but I still have stuck to the good old newspapers.
Online reading is so easy that one slips into it without realizing how much of our time we spend on it. Most of it being on browsing useless news and stories and of course mind-numbing videos! Nowadays I am hooked to my kindle in an attempt to read stuff I really like.
How much time you spend viewing stories becomes a factor Facebook uses to determine what to show at the top of your News Feed.While many people might not like, comment on, or share a post they found meaningful, they would likely spend more time on it than other posts. Hence, Facebook is taking this as a signal for ranking Facebook posts.By understanding what types of content someone prefers, Facebook can surface similar types of content higher up in their News Feed.How may this affect your Page? Facebook does not expect Pages to see significant changes in terms of reach. But if you want to improve your Facebook reach, making your content engaging could help.
The term fan fiction has been used in print as early as 1939; in this earliest known citation, it is used in a disparaging way to refer to amateurish science fiction (as opposed to "pro fiction").[3] The term also appears in the 1944 Fancyclopedia, an encyclopedia of fandom jargon. It is defined there as "fiction about fans, or sometimes about pros, and occasionally bringing in some famous characters from [science fiction] stories". The book also mentions that the term is "sometimes improperly used to mean fan science fiction, that is, ordinary fantasy published in a fan magazine".[3][4]
A fandom is a group of fans of a particular work of fiction (e.g. novel, film, television show or video game). Members of a fandom are typically interested in even minor details of the plot/characters of their fandom and often spend a significant portion of their time and energy involved with their interest, that is why most fan fictions are written by members of a particular fandom(s).
Trigger warnings are intended to warn people of content in fan fiction that could be harmful or "triggering" to those who have dealt with traumatic situations. Fan fiction is often tagged using various TWs so that readers may prepare for or avoid certain content. Sometimes CW, an abbreviation of "content warning," is used, either instead of or in addition to a TW.
Reviews can be given by both anonymous and registered users of most sites, and sites are often programmed to notify the author of new feedback, making them a common way for readers and authors online to communicate directly.[46] This system is intended for a type of bond between the reader and the writer, as well as helping the author improve their writing skills through constructive criticism, enabling them to produce a better work next time.[47][unreliable source?] Occasionally, unmoderated review systems are abused to send flames, spam, or trolling messages. As a result, the author of the story can either disable or enable anonymous reviews, depending on their preference. Internet fan fiction allows young writers access to a wider audience for their literary efforts than ever before, resulting in improved literacy.[48]
However, Anne Rice has consistently and aggressively prevented fan fiction based on any of her fictional characters (mostly those from her famous Interview with the Vampire and its sequels in The Vampire Chronicles). She, along with Anne McCaffrey (whose stance has been changed by her son, Todd McCaffrey, since her death) and Raymond Feist, have asked to have any fiction related to their series removed from FanFiction.Net.[59] George R.R. Martin is also strongly opposed to fan fiction, believing it to be copyright infringement and a bad exercise for aspiring writers.[65][66] Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, creators of the Liaden universe, strongly oppose fan fiction written in their universe, with Lee saying that "Nobody else is going to get it right. This may sound rude and elitist, but honestly, it's not easy for us to get it right sometimes, and we've been living with these characters ... for a very long time."[67] 2b1af7f3a8
