My ten fan-fiction sites

This site states it is the 'World's largest fanfiction archive and forum where fanfic writers and readers around the globe gather to share their passion’. There are several different categories you can choose from: anime, cartoons, books, games and tv shows. Some of the entries under tv shows include: Dawson’s Creek, Blue Heelers, StarTrek, and Thunderbirds, but also newer shows such as Prison Break and Scrubs.

This is a site focusing on Jane Eyre the classic novel by Charlotte Bronte. There are different takes on the story; some humourous and some written from the point of view of other established characters.

Aesop’s Fables with Harry Potter crossover. A collection of stories using characters from Harry Potter. Most of them have a “What would happen if …” storyline and lessons are learnt relating to the morals of the fables.

Fairy Tales and Fables fan-fiction. This site re-tells favourite fairytales such as Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty. The stories are modernized with alternative plots or endings.

Coronation Street. This is a site where people have written episodes of the soap Coronation Street. The fan-fiction versions are set post the exit of Mike Baldwin from the series.

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Adaptations of the children’s favourite story by C.S. Lewis, set in England during WWII. This is the story from which the Narnia series developed. This site contains a poem, written in a series of four line stanzas, of the story.

James Bond fan-fiction. This site contains fan-fiction based on the popular film characters James Bond 007, Moneypenny, etc. Many of the entries are set post Casino Royale, which featured the new James Bond actor Daniel Craig.

For fan-fiction on the much loved story Pride and Prejudice, this is an interesting site containing modernized versions of this classic. One of the stories is set in the 1960’s and crosses Pride and Prejudice characters with the Beatles, another is an Australian version of the story.
