Fan fiction writers use existing characters and settings from works of fiction they like, books, films, comics and so forth, and create their own story with them. Sometimes closer to the original work, sometimes wildly inventive.

Not all fan fiction has erotic content, or kinky content, but the temptation sure is there and often yielded to with great enthusiasm and creativity. Or, as the editors of another fan fiction archive put it: Certain fictional characters scream, ‘Tie me up! Please!’

A number of people start out writing fan fiction, Pauline Réage fanfic for example, and then move on to their own characters and settings. As far as I can see... as you, Mad Lews, have no trouble creating original characters... there’s no problem maintaining your very own fan base!
