Friend Fiction

I thought about posting this in one of the writing sections, but it's much more of a gag than an actual writing topic.

Anyway, does anyone else here write friend fiction? It's like fanfiction, only it's about your friends, and it's usually either ridiculously exaggerated, incomprehensible, or something else. As it stands, I've written one trollfiction about a friend, and I occasionally draw a Rule of Cool comic called Paul Choh Gets Beaten Up by Everyone. Generally, I do it for my own entertainment, but in a different situation I could see this kind of thing being a sign of appreciation or admiration.

Sounds creepier than most Real-Person Fic, but I get so involved in hypothetical conversations sometimes that I've been starting to consider writing them down as vignettes.

Also back in high school a couple friends asked me if they could include me in a superhero comic they were planning on making about themselves.

Fan Fiction: Weird

Real-Person Fic: Creepy

Friend Fiction: Disturbing

The only fictional things I do to my friends is have sex with them while I'm trying to masturbate.

That's great, Tendo.

Well hey there.

EWWWWWWWWW

Tendo, I have a video for you:

Making an image macro out of your own face just reeks of narcissism.

...But you know who would do it?

I made that suuuuch a long time ago.

Oh my god tendo. You look exactly how I imagined.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd.

holy crap, that picture, in my head, has it's own jingle thing.

Tendollar, we need to get you a sitcom man. It'd be awesome.

I vaguely remember a friend in high school saying he was writing basically all of our social clique into a mock fantasy epic. Didn't seem that weird because 1) we all knew about it and 2) he used to "direct" goofy improv home movies starring us, so it sort of seemed like a logical extension somehow.

Totally knew the term from Dragon Age 2.

And no, I wouldn't, because that's beyond a little weird.

I ship friends.

Logical next step. All my friends are guys.

Nope, I only do heteroships.

Same here. And I wouldn't do it. Real person fic crosses a line for me.

I have a manga I'm thinking of where my sister and my best friend are protagonists/heroes/whatever. Does that count as Friend Fiction?

I talked a lot about writing friend fiction, especially on here, but I get so worried it won't stay true to who they really are, I end up not writing it.

...I did once write a revenge fic where a boy I didn't like was dragged into the ground by plants and crushed.

I agree with you. It's so hard trying to write someone you know into a story 'cuz you're afraid you'll screw up their personality. In fact, I think I've made my sis very one-dimensional

I could probably write my family as characters because I'm around them all the time, but my friends? I might just have very loose representations in my story.

I got my username from a friend in high school who wanted to use me as the other main character in a comic strip ... Wang and the Blue Ninja. Wang was another one of his friends, along with Onion-Lad and Beanpole.

Blargh.

Nnnno.

Anyway, I don't like the term "Friend Fiction", but I have been in more than one story about zombie sharks from space.

It's really pretty harmless, especially since most friendfiction isn't by serious (or wannabe serious) writers. It's by people goofing around.

Now, were something like sex involved, yeah that goes into why would you do that territory pretty fast.
