I was just talking about this with a writer friend, but imagine your series got enough of an audience to have fanfics made about it. Would you be okay with that? Would you read it even though there's the chance you could see things that you might want to unsee?

Bonus question: What tropes would you want to see people try out?

Personally, I would want to make people suffer enough that there's "fix it" fics out there, lol. My friend thinks having an AO3 tag tops any lit award.

I would LOVE fanfics. I would love to see readers interpret characters in their own way, and they'd probably fix a few mistakes I didn't even notice. Anyway, I welcome that stuff. :grin:

Oh that's true! It'd be interesting to see what plot holes they find, lol. But also imagine the AU fics.

Same, used to write them, but still read them when I can. I imagine Houdini would be a popular guest in the fics. :rofl:

I actually have received a few fanfics, haha. It's fun to see how other people interpret your characters/world, though I find I tend to get distracted realizing how many worldbuilding details I failed to describe accurately. :stuck_out_tongue:

I will try to read it of course.
I am personally picky with fanfic, but it will be special nevertheless.

I would be OK with it and would probably read it.

I would even be OK with the 18+ stuff (hopefully featuring only the adult characters).

I would honestly love it and read all of them. Even the poorly written ones. My dream, is to one day have a fanbase big enough, that really stupid ooc headcannons are easy to find lol

I'd read them and be quietly annoyed when they don't understand my characters 🤣

The same :smiley: I am very protective of my characters :>
But tbh, I would still be proud people like what I write enough, to write ffs.

I've had fan art which I'm already so happy about!

I would love to see that my characters/ story inspired/ touched someone that much, they want to write a fanfiction. 🥰 I would feel honoured.
I would definitely read it, even if the fanfiction goes a way I don't see for my characters. At least I could learn about how my characters/ their interactions and world are seen. Maybe I learn something. :slight_smile:️
For example, my story is already quite mature and there's some heavier content. But I know it could be so much worse. I wouldn't really like to see my characters going down that much :sweat_smile:, but I would read it. It could still be interesting.
Same the other way around, too cheesy or lovey-dovey, that wouldn't really fit in my eyes, but hey, could be nice anyways. Why not giving them a light time. :wink:
About the specific tropes... I admit, I'm new to them, so I don't know what there is to chose.

Thank you for the topic/ questions! Was fun to think about. :slight_smile:️

I would LOVE IT!
I read fanfics of my favorite books all the time!

I would honestly feel honored lol.

I would love it, but I wouldn't read them because it could cause issues down the line.

One of the below

  1. Ignore them.

  2. Sue them for a cut if they're making more than me.

  3. Steal their good ideas right back.

I'd like to see fanfics, and read them too.

I'd like to see people imagining the story into different genres, like "Damsel in the Red Dress" but as a fantasy story (which frankly, works with the title anyway) maybe one of those where modern day characters get yanked into another world. I can't spell isekaied, isekeid, isekied.
