Fan Fiction

For quite some time I have wondered where fan fiction could be found, our submitted to, since I was introduced to the concept in an undergraduate fiction writing class.

Behold. My search is over. FanFiction.net is a site where fans, obviously, can submit additions, prequels, sequels to some of their favorite movies, comics, or novels.

First thing I did on the site you ask? Search for HARRY POTTER of course! Is there really another option? Turns out this site is chock full of delightful HP Fan Fiction additions. Some excellent, others lacking, but all craving to capture the HP world we've come to know and love. For example, I found this story, that springboards off the character of Greyback (a nasty werewolf dude) and the idea that he has a daughter who is trying to escape the darkness within herself.

This would be an excellent activity to have students write a fan fiction piece and submit it to the site. Perhaps this would promote incentive because others will be able to see and read their work, and it allows them to bounce off of something they already enjoy from a book, movie, comic, or television show.

Also this is a side note, but they have a category of Fan Fiction specifically called "ANGST." Yesssssss. Enjoy perusing this highly entertaining site!
