Perez Hilton, Eat My Eraser Shavings!

"Fan fiction (alternately referred to as fanfiction, fanfic, FF or fic) is a broadly-defined term for stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator." taken from wikipedia.com

It's pop culture's latest craze and collides with such names as Perez Hilton and TMZ. The only difference is, its not created in a board room, art colleges, and not even in schools. The engineering starts at any one's computer, even yours. Fan fiction can release some of your favorite peer writers and can be your new favorite past time.

I first discovered fan fiction on Falloutboyrock.com's message boards back in 2006. The idea of fans being the authors of stories written by them with appearances by musicians, creeped me out none the less. My curiosity got the best of me as I began to indulge in my most fascinating guilty pleasure. The idea of people just like me living lives with my favorite stars was something I couldn't just ignore.

Fanfiction comes in all characters and themes. Whether its Paris Hilton being divorced from Bob Smith, to Lindsay Lohan being best friends with Brendon Urie. There's a story for everyone. Fan fiction is most popular among music. Most bands including Cobra Starship admit to reading it from time to time. So just where can I find this 'fan fiction' you ask?

These stories can be read and created all across the inter-web. Including some of my favorite places such as ficwad.com, mibba.com, and quizilla.com. If you're up to the challenge, jump in the deep end and post your own. My personal account on mibba is currently on a writers block... Fanfiction. Generated by the people, for the people.
