⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ Fan Fiction, or Teen Fiction? ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

☆.tw: none ☆.subject: book preference ☆.date posted: 04/06/2023 ☆.pics credit to owners

I've been in the web novel area for some time now (Wattpad addict est. 2015) and what makes me stay THIS long under the scrutiny of my beloved electronic devices, is because of my desire to keep racking through the catalogue for scrumptious pieces of anime character x reader books.

On a rainy Saturday night, a question suddenly popped into my head; what makes me prefer fan fiction over teen fiction? As I grow older and wiser (not), many would say I should've upgraded my taste in books. And I think I did? Besides web novels, I've also read a bunch of hard-copy books. But before those books, it was actually fan fiction books that helped me grow.

Living in Indonesia as a teenage girl until recently (turning 20 now), Wattpad only had been a hit among teenagers around 2019. Based on my survey, their preferred genre would be teen fiction. I read some of them in my early teenage years, both in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Though, it wasn't for long.

Soon I was drawn into the world of fan fiction, the endlessly creative AU world of Harry Styles and our dearest Y/N. I was (without a filter) introduced to many sub-genres, many writing styles, many vocabularies, and more. The authors were mighty creative with their stories and their writings really affect me until now. A dystopian-themed story of an underworld rebellious community, an ancient kingdom-themed story of y/n as the lost princess, Mafia-themed, Horror, and many else; they succeeded in quenching my thirst for an adventurous and fantastical life--a life that's impossible for me to experience. Tbh those books made me feel like I've literally lived through so many kinds of life. It felt like cheating, but it wasn't (?)

Ultimately, the stories evolved around me and my favourite person. I mean, how could I not refuse? So, my love for fan fiction continues, even as my interest changed.

Now, in my weeb era, a habit of combing through the internet for anime fan fiction that suited my taste starts. One thing that must be noted is that my previous (delusional) escapades with Mr Harry Styles gifted me a sharp eye for excellent quality, tummy-filling, finger-licking-good books that had met under my several conditions. Yes, I've officially developed a type for books.

Within the anime fandom, things got even wilder. Not tied with the laws of reality at all, anime fan fiction is able to fully explore the world beyond our imagination. The internet mostly has fan fiction of everyone; the Uchiha hotties (Madara, Itachi, Shisui, and Obito), Neji Hyuga, Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman, Kuroo Tetsurou, Kenma Kozume, Toji Fushiguro, Nanami Kento, Sukuna Ryomen, Kibutsuji Muzan--I really can't mention them all because there're so many. Some follow the anime/manga's storyline, while others create a whole new universe. The authors are very unique--especially the ones that are here on Tumblr. They create visuals, themes, and even music playlists for us readers to get into the story even more. Soon Wattpad writers do the same. The stories aren't limited to a character x reader only, some authors provide an OC as the lead character. Also, it's really fun to read through the comments and interact with people that have their interests lined with yours.

Based on my readings on these web novels, fan fiction easily wins over teen fiction, because in fan fiction I feel more involved with the character I love--that I am already familiar with--in a world that had been crafted by the authors. Social interactions with people that are similar to me (hello Toji stan) are also a plus. It's just so fun to simp over a character with others. And, it's refreshing to read a book where your favourite character is out of character. It's like you're seeing a different side of them, one that you cannot see on screen.

Finally, there go my paragraphs of personal opinion about preferences over fan fiction and teen fiction. I hope it can help you readers to realize some things, or maybe just to fill up your free time. In no way am I trying to degrade teen fiction authors, or authors for other genres. My mean for writing this is to share reasons why fan fiction is more of my cup of tea, rather than teen fiction.

That is all from me. Thank you for reading my spontaneous mug of insight, and see you next time!

-Ibi.

OKAY SO- I've been absent for like, 3 days w the tumblr stuffs, and I would like to be filled in on what's happening w the AFO and camboy shiggy I'm very very lost. Thank you-

Oh god, so much. So so much. I need to make a list of both those things, like mini masterlist stuff.

With AFO however - in some of my fics/thirst posts, reader is a descendant of All for One’s brother and she is snatched up by him to be bred and kept by him because he’s yandere for both his brother AND his sweet little family member. I have everything from the kidnapping to some pregnant sex that was commissioned.

There is also past All for One and One for All, when they were still together. And have a little sister. All for One wants to fuck his little sister and is unashamed by it. One for All ALSO wants to fuck his little sister but is deeply ashamed by it and has to be coaxed into it. All for One is also yandere (ha ha, even in canon) for his brother and little sister, and wants to lock them both up so only he can touch and see them.

As for camboy Shigaraki - started out as him fucking his little darling on stream while he was playing video games, enjoyed it so much that they kept doing it. And then it evolved to Dabi finding out, joining the streams himself. And then Nomu entered the picture with Shigaraki using the Nomu to punish Dabi and reader for doing a stream without him, and then Dabi and reader retaliate and so on and so on. ...basically it is A FUCKING LOT of sheer feral horny energy.

#tw:incest #tw: dubcon #holy shit this got amazingly detailed #this is one of the best things about tumblr #how these thirst posts evolved into a storyline #just from me thirsting with you guys #anon asks

She Actully Has MySpace account and here is what her personality is like

Personalty:she is self-assured, outgoing, smart and witty. She's quick-tempered yet quick to forgive. She is athletic, neat, popular, nice to n3rd5, environmentally conscientious and she pops her gum loudly. She's Also into phrases like "So very cool!" and "Groovy!" and "What are you, some kind of freak?" and "Have some soup" and "I'm a dot" and "Bitchin'" and "Like, 'Duh'" and "This is SO bunk!" and "Don't let the door hit you in the butt!" her special powers include her Jump Spark Attack, Tacheyon Tornado and Hover (Figure-8). Tiara's Interests: General Hobbies include tennis, snowboarding, step aerobics, bicycling, rollerblading, dancing, electric bass guitar, my band, boys =P Favorite foods include tacos, soup and buffalo wings. Favorite colors are red and blue. Turn-ons include intelligent talk, Grunge music and puzzles. Turn-offs include rude people, dumb blondes and arrogant hedgehogs.

series of four color designs were created for discussion purposes in 1995. Each retained the same basic facial and hair designs, but varied in terms of clothing. Proposed designs included a form-fitting red dress, a tank top with miniskirt, and a midriff-bearing version of the former. A design featuring no clothing changed her fur pattern.[9]

For the second to last design, Senn used the midriff-bearing design using a red and yellow color scheme.[1]However, Michael Kosaka envisioned the character as having more attitude, so Senn changed her accordingly. Along with her stance and visual demeanor, her clothing style changed dramatically. She was given tight pants, a bikini top, and tennis shoes. Additionally, her hair was shortened.[1] Chris Senn felt this design conveyed her attitude, but after the game was cancelled he admitted that her original, cuter design was his favorite

also Practically everything was unknown about Sonic X-Treme in the year 2006. How it felt to play, what the levels were, how many bosses, the story… When information was revealed about a female character, people wondered whether she was going to replace Amy Rose, and if she’d be the timid ‘damsel in distress’ type. Chris Senn, co-lead Designer and Art Director, has revealed concept artwork of Tiara Boobowski. Tiara is a Manx kitten, according to Senn. The concept was going to be a bandicoot, but the resemblance beared more of a Manx.

The character of Tiara was not going to be the helpless girly type, but rather someone more of a match for Sonic. “I didn’t steer towards or away anything other than what seemed to work right as a character I could see Sonic interacting with… she needed to be spunky, and match Sonic’s “tude.” I think the final sketch design of her captures that (at least for me).”

“Michael Kosaka wanted her to have this type of character, so we went in that direction. You’re right in that the “damsel in distress” was not what we were looking for and I think that exemplifies some of the (at least then) cultural differences between the Japanese and American markets.” If we’re going to be talking about cultural ideas as well, Tiara’s ‘well rounded’ figure not only is quite a link to the definition and traits of a real life Manx cat (long hind legs, raised rump and large chest) but also perhaps a (probably unconscious) decision to exercise some ‘girl power’ within the series with the ‘X-Treme’ (sorry!) feminity of the character. “Personally, I still like the idea of Sonic meeting his “match”… and seeing that involvement evolve through experiences together. Unfortunately, the back story that would support gameplay like this was never really a part of Sonic Xtreme. The storylines we had all pretty much focused on supporting the worlds and basic plot premise between good and evil… but didn’t delve into the involvement of the characters with each other as much as we could have. To make it a deeper, more rewarding game, I think this should take place…” Not only did Tiara have a matching attitude, she had matching gameplay too. Concept images were made showcasing how Tiara would look if played in the game. This shows that Tiara was under consideration as a playable character instead of a simple storyline piece, but as the project progressed Tiara was removed as a playable character due to time constraints. Click on the thumbnail to see an entire animation of Tiara running through the level, it also displays a lot of the 3D level manipulation that had been designed for the game.

As for Tiara’s occupation and background story, that’s still not been fully revealed to date. We know she is the daughter of a Gazebo Boobowski, who is a revered Professor living in the Castle of Light. An official ‘myspace’ account was created to reveal more on Tiara’s character, which can be accessed here. On this profile it states Tiara is a “Princess”. Which would make sense given her father’s abode and her name – Sonic characters are usually named in relation to their abilities or status. In fact, certain blogs being posted on Tiara’s myspace even appear to reveal certain plotlines to Sonic X-Treme, with references to “climbing the tower” and a recent entry containing the following:

“Breaker says station lost communication with Base Orbit – and I haven’t heard a peep from Dad. I’m worried. He never gets anywhere without contacting me. I’m gonna go run for awhile. Hopefully that will clear my mind a little.”

A blog on January 15th is written as an “Emergency Transmission”, with a broken ‘May Day’ message. Also of equal interest is Tiara’s apparent dislike for Sonic the Hedgehog – her profile mentions ‘arrogant hedgehogs’ as a turn-off, while she openly claims she wouldn’t ask Sonic for water if she was dying of thirst. Pretty bold statement. But is there real dislike there, or is it all a front? Time will tell, when information on the rest of the game is revealed…

Today I am sharing a batch of mini book reviews from participating in #IronTomeAThon in the month of July.

*Books included in this batch of mini book reviews: Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor #1) by Mark Lawrence, American Gods (American Gods #1) by Neil Gaiman, Trail of Lightning (The Sixth World #1) by Rebecca Roanhorse, and A Natural History of Dragons (The Memoirs of Lady Trent #1) by Marie Brennan

» Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor #1) by Mark Lawrence

#IronTomeAThon

Red Sister is about a young girl named Nona who is beginning her training at Sweet Mercy, a convent that trains girls to become Sisters. We follow Nona as she navigates her new life at the convent and the rigorous demands of her training.

From the very first line, I was completely captivated by Red Sister. The characters are complex. The world is well developed and fascinating. The plot was fast paced, action-packed, and an adventure from start to finish. This book has everything I love in my fantasy books: bad ass leading lady, action, magic abilities, school/training setting, political drama, and an emphasis on friendships.

One thing that Mark Lawrence did in Red Sister was take a few common tropes we see regularly in fantasy and flipped them into something unexpected. You might think you know how a scenario might play out, but Mark Lawrence does a great job of keeping us on our toes throughout the entire book.

In my copy of Red Sister, Mark Lawrence included a glossary in the FRONT of the book, which I found very helpful. More often than not, when these are included in the back of the book, I am not able to utilize it because I don’t realize the book includes a glossary until I’m finished. This glossary included important information regarding the world, characters, etc. I did not need to use this glossary aside from a time or two because everything is laid out clearly in the story, but I appreciated the inclusion.

One of my only complaints about Red Sister would be the fact that Nona was supposed to be a very young girl throughout much of the story. Nona did NOT feel like a young girl of 9 or 10, but more like a girl of 14+ at the very youngest. This does happen to be a pet peeve of mine in books. While I do understand that this is a different world from our own thus a 9-year-old might mature faster than in our own world, it still bothered me slightly.

If you enjoy dark, gritty, and intense fantasy, I highly recommend Red Sister. I read somewhere that someone described this book as “Arya Stark at Hogwarts,” and it really is an accurate statement. Arya Stark is a character from Game of Thrones, and Hogwarts is the school setting in Harry Potter. It also gave me The Name of the Wind and The Poppy War vibes.

» American Gods (American Gods #1) by Neil Gaiman

#IronTomeAThon

American Gods is about our main character, Shadow, and how his world gets flipped upside-down when he get mixed up with a man called Mr. Wednesday, and begins working for him. Wednesday insists that a storm of epic proportions is coming, and needs Shadow’s help rallying the troops. Shadow & Wednesday set off on an epic journey across the U.S, where they come across eccentric characters, run into sticky situations, and see the different landscapes America has to offer. Themes included throughout American Gods include identity, old ways vs. new ways, religion, belief, deception, etc.

I loved how Gaiman fused together ancient mythology with the modern, portraying the power struggle between the old ways vs. new ways. He gives us classic examples of ancient mythological characters (i.e. Odin, Anansi, etc) and creates a few new gods (i.e. technology, media, etc.) I enjoyed watching the rivalry and the build up to the big show down. Furthermore, I also really appreciated that Gaiman’s cast of “old gods” represent many different cultures’ mythology. For example, we see characters from Norse mythology, Slavic mythology, Ghanaian mythology, Egyptian mythology, Germanic mythology, etc.

Shadow was such an easy main character to root for. Despite being thrown in the midst of chaos, he was very level-headed, loyal, and compassionate. I could not help but love him and be invested in his journey.

American Gods is longer than Gaiman’s typical novels. Coming in at around 630-ish pages in the paperback and just under 20 hours for the audiobook. I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by a full cast, and I really think this is how this story should be experienced. I doubt I would have enjoyed this story as much had I read it in print form.

I can totally see where this book would not be for everyone. If you’ve read a Neil Gaiman book before and not enjoyed his writing style, then you will most likely not enjoy this one. Neil Gaiman’s books tend to be dark, fantastical, odd, and quirky, so if you don’t enjoy those types of stories, Gaiman is probably not the author for you. Actually, if you’ve never read a Gaiman book before, I would recommend NOT making American Gods your first.

Is American Gods my favorite Neil Gaiman book? No. Neverwhere, Stardust, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane still hold the top spots as my favorite Gaiman books. Do I think it is still a very worthwhile book to read? Absolutely! As long as you know what you are getting yourself into going into the book 🙂

I’d recommend this book to those that enjoy mythology, folktales, and longer epic saga type stories.

» Trail of Lightning (The Sixth World #1) by Rebecca Roanhorse

#IronTomeAThon

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Trail of Lightning is about a young monster hunter named Maggie. Maggie is determined to uncover the truth behind a new breed of monster, but she quickly learns that the truth is much more evolved than she ever imagined. Trail of Lightning features themes like survival, good vs. evil, what makes someone a “monster,” PTSD/anxiety, and morality.

What really worked so well in Trail of Lightning was the post-apocalyptic world that Roanhorse creates. In this story, a global flood has wiped out most of the population. Dinétah, the former Navajo reservation before the “big water,” is such a cool backdrop for this story. In this new world, mythological beings and monsters walk among the survivors. I loved the infusion of Native American mythology within a post-apocalyptic world. The concept behind the magic system, that certain individuals receive certain clan powers like speed, fighting, weather control, etc, was also intriguing.

Maggie, our main character, was a very complex character. While she was courageous, fierce, & strong, she was also withdrawn and guarded. I appreciated that she was not perfect, and struggled with her own morality throughout the novel.

I must admit, this was probably a 3.5 star read until the last 100 pages. For only being 287 pages, the first half of the book was a slow build up. The first two chapters were action-packed and brutal, but then things slow way down from there until the final 100 pages. Since the book was so short, I feel like some of the plot and character development was a bit rushed. Trail of Lightning could have been 100 pages LONGER to give more time to develop some of these elements. The final 100 pages, the climax and resolution, were on point! I look forward to reading the next installment in this series.

I’d recommend this book if you like books that give you a western-ish feel, enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction, and books that feature Native American mythology. Trail of Lightning also gave me similar vibes to the TV show Supernatural, so if you enjoy that show d I think you’d enjoy this book.

» A Natural History of Dragons (The Memoirs of Lady Trent #1) by Marie Brennan

#IronTomeAThon

A Natural History of Dragons is told in a memoir style narrative of a prominent dragon natural scientist in her early years before she became “Lady Trent.” As a young girl, Isabella dreams of studying the natural sciences, specifically dragons. A Natural History of Dragons follows Isabella as she grows from a young girl with a dream, to becoming a young woman traveling to the far off mountains of Vystrana on an expedition to learn more about the creatures that have fascinated her for years.

There was so much that I loved about this story: the Victorian era setting, the feminist tones, the fantasy-historical fiction mash up, the challenging of gender norms, the focus on natural science, the mystery story line…

With a title like “A Natural History of Dragons,” you’d think that the book would include a lot of dragons or interactions with dragons, but it really doesn’t… A Natural History of Dragons is really more about Isabella, her early years, her early interest in the natural sciences, her courtship, the expedition, and the mystery surrounding the expedition. While I was a tad disappointed that dragons were not featured more throughout the story, I highly enjoyed Isabella’s personal journey. I’m hoping that this first book is setting up the subsequent books for more dragon action.

Isabella was an excellent female lead who wasn’t about to tolerate the gender norms of the times. While other girls her age are dreaming of making a suitable marriage match, Isabella is stealing books from her father’s library. She is intelligent, ambitious, energetic, and persistent in her pursuits. I loved that she refused to settle for a provincial life, but thirsted for more. I also really appreciated that Isabella was very flawed, and admitted when she made mistakes. She felt very realistic, and as a 19-year-old character, felt age appropriate.

It was refreshing to read a book from a single first person perspective that followed a linear timeline. The storyline was easy to follow because I was not distracted by POV switches or a nonlinear timeline. Since we are given access into Isabella’s thoughts and feelings through this first person perspective, I felt very invested in her character.

If you are looking for a book with lots of action and dragons, then A Natural History of Dragons is not going to be it. If you are looking for a book that features a young woman that is passionate about the natural sciences and her struggle to overcome the limitations on her gender in a Victorian era setting, then this book is for you.

Have you read any of these books? If so, what did you think?
