Fan Fiction is what Ann and her group does on http://austen.com. They take Jane Austens stories and extrapolate from them to create modernized works. It's fascinating stuff. There are lots of fan fiction sites on the net. This topic is set up to explore them and find pointers to the better ones.

* harry potter * slash * buffy * lord of the rings * smallville * sentinel * stargate * due slash * minotaur * cyrrh These are the top ten searches for fan fiction sites on http://www.fanficweb.net I've hear of them all except teh last three and slash. I'm kind of surprised that Lord of the Rings doesn't lead the list. Buffy, no surprise, I know she has a huge cult following.

There are 79 fan fiction sites about Smallville. I grew up with Superman. It was one of my favorite shows. And then there were the movies with Christopher Reeve. And Lois and Clark. I can see the endless potential to extrapolate on this. Superman is the stuff of kids dreams. And some grownups too.

gerardbutler.net has a fan fiction site too (most notably, he played the phantom). very good actor even if his movies aren't so well known. he chooses roles for the roles themselves, not for the popularity.
