Fanfic, short for fan fiction, is a type of creative writing where fans of a particular work, such as a book, movie, or TV show, create their own stories using the characters and settings from that original work. This genre allows fans to explore alternative plots, character relationships, or even new adventures that were not part of the original narrative. Writers of fanfic often share their stories online through various platforms, allowing others to read and provide feedback. Popular fandoms for fanfic include Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Marvel Comics, where fans can express their creativity and connect with others who share similar interests.
