June 30, 2004Videogame Fan FictionFan Fictions are stories written by fans of pre-existing cultural artifacts using and reworking the characters, plots, settings, etc. to the author's liking. It seems natural that fanfictions will be written based on movies, TV shows and even classical mythology. But there is an active and enthusiastic core of fan fiction writers creating stories from video games. Again, this should not be too surprising for games that have well defined plots and characters such as the Final Fantasy series. But people write stories based on Sonic the Hedgehog, farming simulators and even Minesweeper. Here, do we have marvelously active imaginations, people with too much time on their hands, or both? Disclaimer and shameless self-promotion: this blogger is a videogame fanfiction writer himself. Too much time on my hands in my case. |
