[All] Recommended fan fiction sites! Secondary creations, fanfic, Joara, Postype, and Fanplus

There are so many people who like fan fiction or fan novels.

 

Whether it's idols, anime, dramas, or games, if you have a favorite work, you'll naturally find yourself drawn into the world of fan fiction. But when it comes to actually reading, the real question is, "Where on earth should I read it?"

 

So today, I've compiled a list of popular fan fiction sites, mainly for secondary creations and fan fiction.
We'll summarize the features of each platform at a glance, including Joara, Postype, AO3, Pixiv, and the recently-mentioned FanPlus.

 

 

1. What is secondary creation? What is its relationship to fanfiction?

First, let me briefly touch on secondary creation.

A derivative work is a general term for a work that borrows the settings, characters, and worldview of a "original work" (a derivative work). This refers to a case where a new story is created based on elements of the original work, rather than a simple reference or homage.

 

Representative types of secondary creations include fan fiction (fan novels), fan art, fan comics, and parodies. Most of the idol fan fiction, dream works, and BL fan novels we enjoy reading fall into this category. These days, with the diversification of platforms, secondary creations are naturally moving beyond the stage of being consumed as a hobby, leading to serialization, fandom community formation, and even monetization in some cases.

 

 

2. Fan fiction site recommendation ① Postype

 

Postype is a platform widely used by everyone from fanfiction beginners to seasoned veterans. Its genre spectrum is wide, from short stories to long-form fan fiction and dream-based narratives, and its unique blend of fanfiction and fan comics is a hallmark.

 

The quality of the works and the average writing quality are relatively stable, making it a popular choice for first-time fanfiction readers. Furthermore, it boasts a robust platform that's creator-friendly, with features like paid serialization, sponsorship, and merchandise sales.

 

 

3. Fan fiction site recommendation ② Joara

 

Joara is one of the oldest fanfiction platforms in Korea. It's a site frequently mentioned by those seeking women's fanfiction or BL-themed secondary works.

 

However, since there are a relatively large number of works that are discontinued (year-round), there are times when you might feel a sense of regret when you're finally reading them. Nevertheless, it's fun to revisit parodies of old masterpieces and works from the heyday of the fandom, making it a must-see on any recommended fan fiction site.

 

 

4. Recommended Fan Fiction Site ③ Fanplus Fanfic

 

F anPlus Fanfic is a platform specialized in idol fanfic. It started out as a mobile app, but recently, accessibility has greatly improved with the addition of long-form fan fiction to the web.

 

The biggest advantage is that the site is clearly categorized by best, recommended, and earnestly serialized works, making it easy to find popular fanfiction right away, even on first visits. We often hear stories of people coming in with the intention of "just reading something light" only to end up completely hooked. It's considered one of the fastest-growing fanfiction sites these days.

 

 

To sum up,

Beginner → Post Type, Fan Plus

Domestic fanfic archive → Joara

It's divided like this according to taste.
These days, there are a lot of people who read on multiple platforms rather than just one.

 

 

💬 These days, even if you just get a recommendation for a fan fiction site, I think it's become much easier to find works that suit your taste in the world of secondary creation. I often use Posttype and Fanplus. Sometimes, it's fun to watch old parodies on Joara.    By the way, on what platform do you enjoy fanfics?
