fan fic·tion

noun

fiction written by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series, movie, etc.

Basic Fanfiction Terminology Guide:

• A/N (or AN) - Author's Note

-refers to an author's personal notes about the story, writing experience, or whatever else the author wants to talk to their readers about.

• Angst

-refers to a genre of stories with prevalent physical or, mainly, emotional torment of characters. Most stories with an angst description contain significant levels of characters feeling emotions such as fear, anxiety, or sadness.

• Alternate Universe (or AU)

-refers to a story of which there is a (often major) plot, setting, or character deviation away from established canon. AUs can be AU with aliens or AU without aliens; genre in which authors create and develop their own unique worlds in which to place familiar characters.

• Canon

-refers to elements established by the original source material (TV show, book, movie, etc...) itself for either plot, setting, or character developments. The official details, as it were.

• CC (Conventional Couples)

-refers to stories in which the romantic and/or sexual relationships depicted were also depicted on the show; generally viewed as canonical relationships.

• Crossover

-refers to stories in which the characters, premises, or settings of more than one fandom coincide.

• Fanon

-refers to common plot or character elements that were not established by the original source material, but are generally accepted to be true by the fans anyway. These are the un-official details, folks. Fanon concepts have often become so prevalent in the fandom that their origins (which fan came up with the idea first) are no longer remembered.

• Ficlet

-refers to a complete short story, usually only a few thousand words long.

• Fluff

-refers to stories in which there is no angst or, often, any real plot either. Fluff fics tend to be short and sweet, with little to no depth, but often quite comforting to read.

• Het (or m/f)

-refers to the presence of a heterosexual relationship featuring at least one canon character.

• OC (Original Character)

-refers to a non-canon character created by the author that is featured prominently in the story. May be male or female, and either a major or minor character in comparison to the canon characters.

• OTP (One True Pairing)

-refers to an author's preferred relationship pairing between certain characters within a fandom.

• PWP (Plot Without Plot/Plot? What Plot?) (AKA: Smut)

-refers to stories with a defining characteristic of little to absolutely no plot. May be vignettes, character studies or, most frequently, strictly pure sex.

• Slash (f/f or m/m)

-refers to the presence of a homosexual relationship featuring at least one canon character. May or may not include graphic or explicit sexual content.

• Tag (or Episode Tag)

-refers to a, usually, short story that picks up from the end of a canon episode and adds to or fleshes out the episode in whole or in part.

• UC (Unconventional Couple/s)

-refers to a story in which characters who are not typically (canonically) linked on the show develop a romantic and/or sexual relationship

• WIP (Work in Progress)

-refers to the fact that the story is not yet completely written, but is actively undergoing updates and revisions.

“Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation.
They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul.”

I adore the opening thread! I love the icons and quotes!

To me the fan fic world is far game let your imagination run wild.

I did write a one part fan fic about Liz and Tess called Sworn Enemies. Happy Reading!

Sworn Enemies (CC L/M/T) COMPLETE 4/25/06 - Roswell Fanatics

I started writing fan fic in 2003.

My first story The Journey Home

The Journey Home ~ CC ~ TEEN {COMPLETE} - Roswell Fanatics

My other fan fic Abduction Seduction in progress since 2005. However by the time 2014 rolled around my muse was so wore out. I was up to 35 chapters at the time.

I LOVE the over all story but it is really long and complicated. Hopefully I will finish it someday. I only have a few more chapters to go before it is done.

You can read it here.

Abduction Seduction (AU,M/L,MATURE) [WIP] - Roswell Fanatics

Jasper1975

My sequel to Reunion is now posted at Roswellfanatics.net.

It's called, On the Razor's Edge. And it's pretty easy going for awhile, before the angst turns up to a level of 1000 later in the story. Despite the first chapter, it will deal with the day after and the aftermath of the developments of "Reunion" for everyone.

Here it is, On the Razor's Edge (CC, Mature) - A "Reunion" Story - PROLOGUE - 06/10/2019 - Roswell Fanatics

Enjoy.

It's now posted at Roswell Heaven under this link...

Thanks for the new thread!

I’m currently working on my first fan fic....not posted public yet....focus is on a teenage Zan, the gang 17 years after graduation, and.....Tess.

Loved Jasper’s Reunion so I am excited for On the Razor’s Edge!! Thanks so much for the link!!

I will check out Abduction Seduction too!!

Some of my other favorite fan fic stories are: The Offer and it’s sequels (Misha) and The Antarian Timetravellers (maipigen)

Roswell 10/2/00

So excited to read your first fan fic JournalingJedi!

Also so happy you are going to check out Abduction Seduction! Like I said it is a work in progress but I am hoping to get back to writing and finishing it sometime soon.

JournalingJedi

Thanks!! Not sure how good it will be since it’s my first, that is why I’ve been reading a lot of others to get a feel of what works and what doesn’t. Between writing, reading, and Kids out of school it’s been crazy here, I started alien seduction while waiting for razor edge’s updates!!

Roswell 10/2/00

I am sure it is great. Some stories I look back and cringe over others I am shocked that I wrote that!

Write from the heart and for you not for the audiance. The audiance will come to you.

Jasper1975

That is what I feel like going back and looking at some of the stories that I can still look at, back when I wrote fanfiction for Days of Our Lives Shawn and Belle. What became Lost and Found for Max and Liz, started as another story entirely, and looking back it was pretty bad in terms of the writing style.

We all grow over time. Thanks to modern computer programs, it's easier to catch the mistakes.

On the Razor's Edge Chapter 5 is now posted. I was away at a cottage, so I am back now, and won't be going away for an extended time again until August. So I should get well into the story by then LOL.

Needed time away from writing LOL. Too many idea's swimming around. Unfortunately now the summer heat as picked up...

So we'll see how enthused I am to write.

Roswell 10/2/00

So far rereading has helped my writers block a lot. I started to reread my fan fic Abduction Seduction. I am still shocked I wrote what I wrote. I love the story so much. I had a few ideas swimming in my head the other day and that has not happened in a long time.

I just wish I had more time to sit down and write them. My story so detailed that I need a lot of time to get my voice back and get into my writing stride again.

Jasper1975

Yeah going back. Some stories I have lost, so I can't see how bad they were... But boy some were rough...

So many idea's for stories, so little time. I finishing up another one that is pretty sexy for Max and Liz, and very naughty and Tess there to muck things up... It's messy.

Given we're coming up to the 20th anniversary of the pilot. I plan to rewatch the series, and maybe will come up with more idea's LOL.

Roswell 10/2/00

Awesome rewatchs are the best! I like to call it research when I am writing.

I know for one thing I like a good story but I grow tired of the ones when it is all full of lemons. I am after all too much lemons can grow sour and not sweet like lemonade.

I love fan fic stories where the storyline is so good you wish they had written it in the show.

Please post your stores when they are done.

Happy reading!

Jasper1975

I am thinking later in the summer or September/October for the one I am almost finished, the working title is "If Walls Could Talk" Very sexy... "On the Razor's Edge still has more than 50 chapters left, so it's going to be months LOL.

So many idea's. Another one is now swimming around in my head, so we'll see if I finish the one I am working on, and get this other idea down on my computer screen.

Fanfiction is great. Sometimes it draws you completely in, and you really want to know more...

Because there are so many angles you can work from, and it's funny since our Roswell only lasted three seasons.

Roswell 10/2/00

The original Star trek lasted 3 seasons as well and look at that fandom.


Oh I can't wait to read your story.

Please post a link.

Jasper1975

There are so many ways fanfiction can go, and Roswell and our characters had such complexities, that it's fun to see where it might go. Hard to believe it's almost 20 years since the pilot aired.

Where did the time go?

Roswell 10/2/00

I know where did the time go! What a time it was! 20 years of amazing memories and great fan fic!
