Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The True Fan

OOC is blasphemy, canon is everything.

Once you fall in love with a movie, book or TV series, you are loyal like an old dog. You take fanfiction quite serious and use it as a substitute after the canon ran out.

You are probably a walking dictionary of your favourite fandom and you are picky about what you write and read. The closer to the "real thing" fanfiction is, the more you like it.

You rather explore a character in all depth, see new sides and learn more about them than creating new characters or mix up the situations they are in.

*tsk* You always find the interesting ones!

This is annoying! Take this question:
Have you been aware of the term "fanfiction" when you began writing it?
choices:
Yes, I've been a reader before I began writing.
Yes, but I never really got into it.
No, I only found out when I wanted to publish my story.
No, and I'm still not really a part of this community.

See, I started writing fanfiction when I was 10. Then my brother explained the concept of plagiarism to me and I petered off. It wasn't until I was 18 that I learned there were people out there writing and publishing privately. I guess that might make me number 2.

Or this one:
Shonen-ai, Lolicon, Mpreg, Slash and such are...
Words that don't make much sense to me.
Exactly my kind of thing.
A shame for any fandom.
Not my thing, but to each their own.

I have to choose the last, but really I love good slash! Mpreg... I basically qualify that as shame. Shonen-ai and Lolicon maybe words that don't make much sense to me, even though I know what they mean. What do you do when the available answers don't fit?

Hmm. I got what you did.

Do me a favor and tell your brother for me, fanfiction is not plagiarism. Fanfiction is derivative work. There's a difference, and I mean legally.

That was thirty years ago, though.
