Fanfic rocks

[reynardo]

As I pointed out to my mother, she's been reading Fanfic for years! (The "Flashman" series by George Macdonald Fraser is fanfic based on a character from Tom Brown's Schooldays, written almost 100 years earlier).

So why do I write fanfic?

Because it's fun.

And challenging.

And reading it makes me feel good.

And why am I saying this?

Because the sshg_promptfest is on again!

Someone just told me Jane Eyre was based on a secondary character in Jane Austen's "Emma." So fan fic has an illustrious history.

Oh my gosh, she reads Flashman?? I adore that series -- funny, sexy, swashbuckling, and a decent history lesson here and there. My favorite is Flashman at the Charge, closely followed by Flashman's Lady.

The earliest known fanfic may be The Aeneid (29BCE), which is based on a minor character from The Iliad (ca 1100BCE). So it does indeed have a long and illustrious history :)

The "Flashman" series by George Macdonald Fraser... is one of the best series of novels I've ever read. :)

Because the sshg_promptfest is on again!... oh my, that topic.

I would consider you a force for good in the Fanfic universe, not about to saddle the world at large with another Master of the Universe, or its better known title/rework...

Fanfic is all these things that's why I love it too.
Also looking forward to the next round of the promptfest!
