^AU means Alternate Universe - so where you might put characters from movies/books/band members in a situation where they are not in a band, or not in their original setting/time etc

- Jon Walker.:
- I write about The Horrors together because they're all clearly not heterosexual, even if they do say they are.
They need to realise this.
True story.
- Horrorland's Love:

I don't think sexual orientation is a basic personality trait. The stories I write, the characters would have the same personalities if they were straight. Who they sleep with is incidental. They're still themselves.
- This.Useless.Heart.:
- I don't write slash because:
1. I don't feel it's right to change someone's basic personality. [as I've already stated.] Sexual orientation is one of the most basic personality details and most slash-fics pair 2 men that aren't even gay and are certainly not so with each other.
I know it takes a lot of work to write good fanfiction. I just don't take my own fanfic writing that seriously. Most of the stories that I'm serious about writing are original fiction.
- saint druscilla.:
Sadly, those are the reasons I always hear as to why fanfiction is a joke or not real literature.
- Sandwich-Masta:
- I write fanfiction because:
a.) Sometimes, I'm just too lazy to come up with my own characters.
b.) I'm guaranteed an audience when I write fanfiction--a luxury you don't have with original fiction.
And they aren't my reasons.
I think it actually takes a lot of work to make a fanfiction character believable.
And there is a lot of fanfiction on here that gets overlooked despite a built-in fanbase.
This is basically what I was going to say.
- paranormality.:
- I write fan-fiction because my heart beats for the people I write about, and for me, writing is such an intimate thing that I need that connection. I write fan-fiction because these are people whose personalities are so fascinating, different, and at the same time relateable to me that I can't imagine not writing about them, or anyone else.
I write Frerard because they fit together. Their personalities match, their bodies work together.
Simply? I write about My Chemical Romance because I love them and without writing I would have no way to ever even begin to release that affection into anything positive.
