A fandom is sort of like a community that revolves around a television show or movie or a book... And of course fanfictions are part of that fandom, along with fan art, cosplayers etc.
FYI fanfictions are just stories that writers write (that are mostly non-canon) using the characters they like from a show/movie/book they love.
I'm part of a few fandoms, namely, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Agents of Shield... I can't list down all, there's too much LOL! *I'm a TV addict* :P I found out about fanfictions like 2 years ago and boy do I think I missed out a lot when I didn't know anything about it...
I started off with Doctor Who fanfictions... Originally I shipped the Doctor (11th) and Clara, so I read A LOT of fanfiction then... I prefer fluffy ones, sometimes angst, but I avoid the explicit ones... (But one does come across them sometimes because they're not labelled) And then I read Sherlock fanfiction. I think no one can beat the Sherlock fanfic writers. THEY'RE TOO GOOD!! Their unique way of writing and thick plot lines made me wonder whether they were actual script writers... Seriously thumbs up for the good work! (BTW I ship Sherlolly...)
Agents of Shield fanfics are mostly fluff (YAY!) so I've mostly read every single one... Seems like I have a lot of time on my hands but I don't actually...
Tumblr has this fanfic challenge every few weeks and I'm an avid follower. (If my Internet doesn't fail me of course...) So hopefully they'll continue to write awesome fanfics for my entertainment...
P.S. Fanfic writers are so good at writing that sometimes I just wanna ask them to write my essays for me... Like could you guys possibly take my English exam for me?! Pretty please? *puppy eyes* :)
