Fanfiction… what is that?!

Here is a quick introduction to this category since I can see a few confused looks thrown my way!

Fanfiction… what the heck is that?

To put it simply, a fanfiction (or fanfic) is a story written by an anonymous author, not making any money out of it, based on actual characters. the beauty of it is that the only limit is one’s imagination, but at the same time, the rules are so strict it’s a great exercice.

The main purpose is to have one’s favourite characters doing and saying what one wants, making up stories that could never been seen on TV, or just fooling around with them.

Authors and readers gather in friendly communities throughout the Internet, called fandoms. Mine is Stargate SG-1 mainly, Stargate Atlantis from time to time.

Is that some kind of sect? No, it’s not! ;-)

We just talk about the show, about the stories we write and read, about plots and provide and ask information regarding the fandom we are writing for, mainly medical, military and scientific information for Stargate.

My English got so much better as a result of all those hours spent reading all these fantastic stories and conversing with all these amazing people writing them. So I decided to give back a little of what I have taken over the last two years or so.

On this blog you’ll find the few stories I’ve written so far, and maybe those I’ll write in a near future! You’ll also find plenty of links if like me, you can’t get enough of these fics.

Although I’m a French native speaker, and as I’ve never actually watched the show in French, I only write in English. and for this I have my Beta-reader to thank (a Beta-Reader is a person volunteering to correct a text, to provide ideas and push you enough so that you actually finish a story! ;-) ), Su Freund, a lovely person, dear friend and last but not least a wonderful author!
