Talk:Fan fiction

message: Fanon is a portmanteau of the words "fanatic" and "canon", and refers to concepts within fanfiction considered rote even though it was never expressed within the original stories.
This is not the same as fanfiction so I don't think it belongs in bold alongside "FF" and "fanfic" at the top of the page, which implies it to be a synonym. However, the concept is related to fan fiction, and there's even a section called "Relationship to canon" on the Fandom page,  that would well do with the term and an explanation of the differences between canon and fanon. 2001:44B8:218A:D00:F8DD:B565:E937:FE90 (talk) 11:11, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fictional Cities in fanfiction? 

message: Is there a good reason to list Sterek instead of Stydia in the OTP section? It looks like people are changing this, without providing any reason, and it looks approximately political, so I worry both about leaving it and changing it. (See the first change, and a fix to it; then a revert I performed as part of further editing; then a revert of my revert.)
Since none of the section is sourced, should we just find a list of common OTPs, somewhere, and list only those, with a source? Throne3d (talk) 14:35, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

message: For some reason I can't pass the CAPTCHA to publish it, but can someone add the sentence shown below in quotes?
"The most popular sites to host fanfictions are Fanfiction.net and Fimfiction.net." I know, most people aren't fans of MLP, so the second site is optional. And add the links, please.
Your faithful Wikipedian,

thread_title:  What's The Difference Between Fanon And Canon? 

message: As someone who is a part of fanfiction culture, I can tell you it’s rarely - if ever - spelled with a space. When someone does spell it with a space, that come across as someone unfamiliar to the scene.
I’d edit it, but I’m sure the edits would get rolled back by someone. Durinae (talk) 22:39, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fanfiction should be prioritized over fan fiction 

message: Is 'fan fiction' the appropriate page (and if so, is 'fan fiction' the appropriate term) for works of fiction (including published works) appropriating from other fiction (without authorisation); and produced before the advent of television such as the extensive unauthorised works of Sherlock Holmes?--Darrelljon (talk) 12:44, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say yes, since they follow the same principle. Lolak2 (talk) 16:16, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pre-television fan fiction? 

message: I think there should be definitions added, I would be willing to do so. I don’t know exactly how to write nor the preferred format on this site to do so. Most likely though I would suggest a chart explaining Abbreviations, direct meaning and actual meaning. The reason I opt for this is due to the fact I often get confused myself and would like to extend this knowledge publicly. 2600:1700:AF90:5550:49AE:A90B:C326:B0B2 (talk) 02:50, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Definitions 

message: Lots of uncited statements in the introduction. Are there any sources for the definition and description of fanfiction?
