Fan fiction is a general term to describe fiction about characters from fiction, or written works about public characters and people. It is often done by fans of the work to create their own entry or story based off of a work; it is done for free. Fan fiction is read by other fans of the work and has cultivated several online communities devoted to its creation. Fanfiction was popularized in the 1960s with ‘fanzines’ made by fans of the popular TV series Star Trek and has becomes increasingly widespread with the spread of the Internet. As fanfiction gains popularity several services have allowed fans to publish, and even sell their works.
