The Genre

What is all of this about? That's quite easy..

Fan fiction, or "fanfics," is a practice that has gained much popularity with the twin proliferation of the internet and the mass media. Fanfics are original pieces of fiction written by fans of a particular tv show/movie/book using the characters and universe from the original work but creating new situations. Sometimes in "crossovers" universes and characters intersect. Comic books, sci-fi television shows/movies and anime are all popular objects of fanfics.

"Het" and "slash" are adult versions of fan fiction, heterosexual and homosexual, respectively. Andrew Troy Keller specializes in this erotic form of the fanfic.
