I've spent considerable time writing and reading anime based fanfiction. I only published a short few of these stories on the net, but I write many. Who else likes to read or write these stories?

I have no talent whatsoever for writing fanfiction so that's out of the question. But I do frequently read various anime/manga based fanfiction. I don't stick to a particular fandom either, I like to jump around and read different things. But it can be a bit tedious trying to find something good to read. Most of the stuff I come across are horrible.

I know exactly what you mean. Some people just don't get it. They tend to forget that the writers have lives outside of writing their fanfiction. I'm in the same boat, I tend to stick with what I know. But sometimes I read something that is unfamiliar and it actually compels me to go and check out the anime/manga it's based on.

I know what you both mean. Reading is just as enjoyable as writing for me, but there is a lot less stress when you read. People don't threaten to burn your house down if you let a character die. I knew someone who actually had his website hacked just because he always wrote Ranma 1/2 fanfiction where Akane never got to be with Ranma. They refused to write such so people decided to do something about it.

Oh wow...that is really extreme. Talk about obsessed fans. The thing I don't get is if they don't like it then why continue reading it? Can't they find something else?

I'm just a fan of reading anime fan fiction. I don't have the time to write since I'm quite busy at work. I probably don't have the talent to write either.

I haven't had much time to write of late, but I do still love to read anime fanfiction. So, I do understand your point. Life has been so hectic of late!

I write a little bit of anime fan fiction, but I haven't updated in awhile because I'm concentrating on making money online so I can buy stuff.

It has been somewhat similar with me. I enjoy writing and reading fanfiction, but work has to come first. Otherwise I won't be able to eat and watch anime.

The only Amine fanfiction I have ever read is for Inuyasha and YuGiOh. I find it hard to find safe websites to watch the shows on, so I've only dabbled a little. Compared to my other fandoms, its been difficult to find quality fanfiction for these fandoms. I'm not exactly sure why though. I'd imagine its because Anime generates a pretty large fanbase, but not one devoted to fanfiction.

I love reading anime FanFiction. I have only written one anime based story so far and that was for Naruto. I like writing more for TV shows or movies since I am not the greatest at coming up with good story lines for anime but I have been practicing. I like to read Naruto and InuYasha FanFiction stories the most. =)

I do but I always end up not finishing them :P I write romance stories and did around... 3 I think? In fanfiction.net but eventually, I started posting them in my blog via livejournal. Feel free to check them if you have time :D http://leiyah-chan.livejournal.com/2920.html

I love reading anime fanfiction. Pokemon ones are my favorites. I also like Case Closed/Detective Conan ones too. ^_^

Reading fanfictions and I guess writing them were my hobby before! I used to get a lot of satisfaction reading my favorite fanfics. I don't know when I stopped... I guess when my fave fanfics stopped updating and I just became too busy. I read a lot at fanfiction.net since they have ooodles of goodies. Now I guess I would rather watch animes now. I read the comment where a site gets hacked! Wow totally extreme. Where did you publish your fanfics?
