There are some very good writers and very creative.  I am often amazed at what they come up with.

I have no clue as to what you are talking about.  What is fan fiction?

Fan Fiction is stories that fans have written using the Twilight characters.  There are tons of stories out there on every topic you can imagine.  

There is a "group" on this site called "Fan Fiction" that you can check out if you are curious about the stories.

Another website is http://www.fanfiction.net/book/Twilight/

Ah, so your talking about plagiarizing Stephenie's characters and writing your own stories about them.  It's that illegal, especially if you post it online?

If they tried to sell their work and make a profit off it, than that would be illegal.  But as long as it is done for entertainment purposes only, then it is not a copy right infringement.  And most writers give Stephenie credit for the characters, and not trying to claim that they are theirs. 

 

Stephenie is aware of fan fiction and she doesn't have a problem with it.

Don't feel bad, Lauralynn.  I'm a newbie to that genre myself and would not have known about it either unless my friend told me about it.  :)

Let's not forget, fan fiction can be done about any book, not just Twilight. The first thing that comes into my head is Harry Potter. I am a fan of HP and I started reading some fan fiction about Harry & Ginny at the wedding (you don't need to know this, it's just a reference point) and they wrote it on the "adult" side and I was horrified. I know characters grow up but I didn't want to read that .

Fan fiction can be written about any published story out there.

Another good point, it can be any subject.  I am amazed at how popular fan fiction is in ALL areas.  Another good point is the maturity of it, it can be quite racy.  (a caution to younger readers)

I don't understand fan fiction about Bella and Edward, because that IS Twilight, so I don't understand why someone else decided to write their story.  Unless they change something about them like make Edward human or make Edward be able to read her mind, those I would find interesting.

I can see those areas having an interest, it makes more sense. Thanks.
