->''Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker.''

Currently, the largest source of fan fiction on the Net (and probably anywhere else) is the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin aptly named]] [[Website/FanFictionDotNet FanFiction.Net]], which as of 2022 offered approximately 14 million stories across all but a select few canons (which were banned due to creator request) and an automated system for posting. The archive-turned fanfic site Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn, part of the larger [[http://transformativeworks.org/ Organization for Transformative Works]], has over 10 million stories and less restrictions on what can and cannot be posted. In mid-2013, Amazon.com joined in the act with its Kindle Worlds program, which allows for the publication and sale (!) of fan fiction from specific 'verses, which was shut down in 2018.

A newer site called Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn is starting to nip at [[Website/FanFictionDotNet FanFiction.Net]]'s heels, though, with over 10 million stories and less restrictions on what can and cannot be posted.

Another problem with fan fiction is sometimes writers don't do their research even when it is very simple. A common occurrence is when an author from a country other than the original work's country of origin writes characters as if they are from their own country. An example is ''Harry Potter'' where non-British writers (particularly American) make characters act and think like an American would; this also happens vice versa as seen in ''Fifty Shades of Grey''.
