🖋️ Where to Read, What to Avoid, and Why We Love Fanfiction ✨

from Girls, Gays, Animes · host Valsaraptor

Ever fallen down the rabbit hole of fanfiction? We have, and we’re taking you with us! In this episode, Valsaraptor, DokiDokiBunBun, and Mim break down where to find fanfics, the different types out there, and the unspoken rules of fandom culture.From Fifty Shades of Grey to H.P. Lovecraft, Star Trek, and yes—even My Immortal—we explore how fanfiction has shaped pop culture, including books and movies that technically started as fanfic. We also dive into fanfiction culture in Japan (doujinshi), the unexpected origins of some iconic stories, and the things you wish you didn’t know (dead dove, lemon/lime...).Of course, we can’t talk about fanfiction without mentioning My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, and the chaotic ships that come with them (Bakugo stans, we see you). We also discuss LGBTQ+ representation in fanfiction, why AO3 and Wattpad remain go-to platforms, and how MLM and WLW stories thrive in fandom spaces.Whether you’re a reader, writer, or just morbidly curious, this one’s for you!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~✨ Follow for More Anime & Manga Content🎥 YouTube: GirlsGaysAnimes (youtube.com/@GirlsGaysAnimes)🎵 TikTok: GirlsGaysAnimes for memes, outfit/manga/manhua/anime reviews, and recommendations (tiktok.com/@girlsgaysanimes)📸 Instagram: GirlsGaysAnimes for manga and anime recommendations (instagram.com/girlsgaysanimes)✨ Shopping Recommendations👕 Notice Me Senpai Shirt: KDM Anime Shirts (shop.kdmvintage.com/?ref=GGA) (Use code GGA for 10% off!)📚 Manga Recs: Benable Manga Recommendations (benable.com/GirlsGaysAnimes)🎮 Gaming & More🎮 Twitch: GirlsGaymesAnimes for gaming content and playthroughs (twitch.tv/girlsgaymesanimes)🎧 Spotify: Podcast Episodes (tr.ee/AanyE4I3Qu)🔗 Linktree: GirlsGaysAnimes (linktr.ee/girlsgaysanimes)💌 Contact Details: Linktree📌 Tags: fanfiction, fanfic culture, anime, manga, doujinshi, anime podcast, manga podcast, fandom, otaku, anime community, book adaptations, yaoi, yuri, shonen, shojo, anime recommendations, harry potter fanfic, my immortal, star trek, 50 shades of grey, wattpad, ao3, archive of our own, dead dove do not eat, LGBTQ+, MLM, WLW, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Bakugo, Itadori#fanfiction #anime #manga #doujinshi #animepodcast #mangapodcast #fandom #otaku #animecommunity #booktok #fanfic #ao3 #wattpad #myimmortal #harrypotterfanfic #50shadesofgrey #starwars #startrek #yaoi #yuri #shonen #shojo #mha #bnha #jujutsukaisen #bakugo #itadori #mlm #wlw #lgbtq
