OTP, Fluff, Ships, AU, Fanon, Plotbunny: Do these terms mean anything to you? If so, you might already be into fanfiction, or fiction written by a fan of a particular TV series, book, movie, or anime. Fanfiction picks up where the original leaves off by exploring the fictional worlds and beloved characters in greater detail than ever dreamed possible by its creator. Millions of fanfiction short stories, poems, songs, and novels have already been written about popular fandoms such as Harry Potter, the Avengers, Naruto, and Doctor Who. This do-it-yourself genre provides the characters and you provide the creativity!
Interested in giving fanfiction a try? ICPL’s Teen Services is hosting a fanfiction event from 6-8p.m. on Wednesday, January 31st in Meeting Room E. Open to students in grades 7-12, “Fanfiction Addiction” is an opportunity to explore fanfiction and meet fellow fans. We will play improvisational writing games, watch fan-made videos, discuss our favorite fandoms, eat snacks, and share fanfiction.
“Fanfiction Addiction” is a free event. For more information, call the Library at 319-356-5200.
