Fan Fiction Week

Entertainment

Welcome to Fanfic Week

Without fan fiction, much of our literary canon simply would not exist. From classics like The Odyssey to modern phenomena like The Love Hypothesis, many of our favorite stories are inspired by, based upon, or an outright homage to others that came before them. That’s why Bustle and Inverse teamed up to explore the most interesting corners of entertainment. We, like you, are fans — fans who let the TV, films, and books become part of our imaginings.
