Rebecca Lewis shared 10 of the sweetest and downright dirtiest sentences from sizzling Doc Martin fan fiction (yep, it exists) in Metro.
From Herald Scotland’s Teddy Jamieson: J tells me someone she knows has been reading fantasy fan fiction. Erotic fantasy fan fiction. Books called things like Taken By An Elf.
Entertainment Weekly’s Dan Snierson wrote You know that HBO’s Silicon Valley is striking a comedy chord when not only are tech industry insiders like Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel and Dropbox CEO Drew Houston popping up in cameo roles - they’re also dabbling in fanfic.
Kristen Calderoni wrote Boyband Fan Fiction Inspires Anna Todd's 'The After Series' for Quo Vadis (Middlesex County College).
In a review of the biopic Life for Sydney Morning Herald, Jake WIlson wrote Basically there isn't much of a story here. The evidence indicates that [photographer Dennis] Stock did his job and moved on, and the Australian screenwriter Luke Davies isn't bold enough to depart drastically from history - as Christopher Munch did in imagining an off-duty John Lennon in The Hours and Times, a more inventive case of cinema as celebrity fanfic.
For Pacific Standard, Evan Kindley wrote The MBTI has a vocal fan-base on the Internet: There are dozens of Myers-Briggs message boards and Facebook groups, and even a kind of fan fiction: Tumblr sites like Funky MBTI in Fiction provide extensive MBTI profiles for characters from novels, films, and television shows.
In a piece about Zen Cho for The Independent, David Barnett quoted the author: “I started writing fan-fiction. I’d do Discworld [Terry Pratchett] and Good Omens [Pratchett and Neil Gaiman] fanfic. Then I would do mash-ups of books and styles - I wrote Good Omens stories in the style of Rudyard Kipling.”
In a Forbes piece about Star Wars Hot Wheels cars, Jim Gorzelany wrote aside perhaps from the hovercraft-like vehicle Luke Skywalker “drove” in the first, er, fourth movie, we don’t recall seeing any automobiles in the Star Wars universe (not counting comics, graphic novels, fan fiction, and whatever else we’re too lazy to research).

Finally, in a piece about an upcoming Montana Book Festival for Missoula News, Erika Fredrickson wrote Featuring a crop of edgy cosmopolitan and rural writers, this year's event explores new angles, including queer culture in the West, writing violence for suspense novels and defying genre. There's even some erotic Nancy Drew fan fiction. Kate Whittle expanded When you love a particular story enough, reading it repeatedly isn’t enough-you want to somehow live in it, to be part of it. Since the dawn of the Internet, at least, fan fiction has been a way for readers to immerse themselves in the literary worlds they adore-and to add some hot lovin’ between beloved characters. Thus, we have erotic fanfiction.
