==Some Topics Discussed==
* Narnia
* Sime~Gen
* missing curated rec lists -- the personal touch, the ability to find things by year, reading by recs is no longer individual person doing a review, but rather crowd sourcing; "it's crowd-sourced recs, as opposed to the individual reviewer" 
* Rachael Sabotini's House O'Fanfic
* fandom is made of people watching different shows together, a comment on personal perception: "This show that I am watching is not the same as the show that you're watching"
* life cycles of fandom interest
* vidding
* getting into fandom through The Professionals, getting into online fandom through Highlander, moving from mailing lists to LiveJournal because of Harry Potter

* the opinion that Supernatural will never improve because TPTB don't understand what's "wrong" and canon creators not understanding their own shows and the potential these characters have
* Stargate Atlantis, how fans created derivative works because of a dislike of what was put in front of them
* "good shows" don't generate a robust fandom like "bad shows"; one needs some gray areas, plot holes, and incomplete characterization to fix
* a fandom is reliant on the fans and the conversations and community they build around it; a show without these things will not take off as a fandom
* the two first slash Starsky & Hutch zines published in the United States and the drama behind them, see Code 7 and Trace Elements
* the term "outing" as it pertains to fans and their fannishness
* pseuds and connecting them to legal names
* kudos -- their pros and cons
* loss of single, personal voices in fandom
* Sandy Herrold
* the origins of the Pros zine Guilty Pleasures

Fan Fiction Was Just as Sexual in the 1700s as It Is Today

Fan Fiction Was Just as Sexual in the 1700s as It Is Today is a 2020 article in the magazine "The Atlantic." It has the subtitle: "Before tales about Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, people wrote bawdy or gross stories about Gulliver’s Travels." The author is Shannon Chamberlain.
==Some Topics Discussed==
* "Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels in 1726 marked the beginning of the modern fan-fiction movement."
* Fanfic began with hundreds of works where writers extended the 1726 Gulliver's Travels with additional stories, many sexual or scatalogical. Some fiction mentioned:
* There was a great deal of het slash written around the 1740 novel Pamela, where the chaste heroine of the novel becomes dramatically less chaste.
* "Like [J.K.] Rowling, most 18th-century authors made their peace with fan fiction, as long as the creators shared it freely and didn’t attempt to make money from it."
* There is a direct connection, in style, justification, and sexuality, between 18th and 19th century fanfic and modern fanfic.
* writing fanfic as an act of bravery and pushback
* Archive of Our Own and its Hugo Award
* J.K. Rowling, Reylo, Draco/Harry
* fan fiction is becoming less stigmatized
* the debatable assumption that reading fic makes the reader "become" that character for a while
* fan fiction as a way of exploring feelings and situations

Fan Fiction Writers (archive)

Fan Fiction Writers also known as FFW, is a multifandom fan fiction archive that had been in operation since 1996, making it one of the longest running fan fiction archives. It is owned and operated by Kaleidopy. 
Fan Fiction Writers allows its writers complete control over their stories. With lenient guidelines, fandom writers are strongly encouraged to express themselves, in whatever genre they write. Such freedom gives readers a more vast selection of fandom stories. 
(Members only) readers may leave reviews on their favorite stories, and writers have the opportunity to either respond or delete such reviews at will. This is done to help cut down on spamming issues.
With new ownership and the future promise of upgrading the outdated software, Efiction, FFW has decided to continue using the software to operate the archive. 
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the domain name wasn't renewed in time to prevent a takeover, instead of paying thousands to HugeDomains to buy back the dot com, Fan Fiction Writers has moved to dot net. 
On November 18, 2024, it was announced that the archive would be imported to Archive of Our Own by Open Doors.Fan Fiction Writers Archive is Moving to the AO3
==History ==
Fan Fiction Writers opened in 1996 after it outgrew the old geocities website - Kaleidopy's Lair. The site closed briefly in early August 2012 for financial reasons, but it reopened by mid-October of that year. In 2015, the domain name was not renewed and was quickly taken over by a domain seller. As of January 2016, the URL was for sale, but the archivist decided to take a break to deal with real life issues. July 2020, the archivist plans to open the archive again at a new URL.
As of October 2012, the website had over 1000 members, with over 700 stories archived. The four most popular fandoms represented on the archive were Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, Lancer, Lord of the Rings, and X-Men.
==Content Policy==
The site's main focus was on gen, het and slash fan fiction. Stories not allowed on FFW include real people (the archivist doesn't want to be sued), underage characters, involved in a sexual consensual relationship, (Simply put, these stories are nothing more than child pornography.") and "MST (Mystery Science Theater)" stories ("stories...when someone takes another's story and inserts comments throughout it. Absolutely no mocking of other writer's works will be tolerated on this website.") were excluded.. (Accessed 17 November 2012.)
Stories rated PG-13 or higher can only be accessed by site members.

Fan Fiction and Copyright

Fan Fiction and Copyright is an essay by Judith Gran. 
In it, she discusses copyright, fair use, fan works, and cites a number of legal cases. 
It was originally published on the GeoCities site: Society for Slash Diversity and COCO CHANNEL, in late August 1999 as a follow-up to comments made by Killashandra in A 1999 Interview with Killashandra. The essay was later posted to Judith's own website. You may have to highlight the whole page in order to read it against that strange black background.
