FanFiction
One of our favorite teen librarianship websites wrote a column about FanFiction recently. It starts: "To literature snobs, it’s the ultimate dirty word—a place where people go to alter or continue the storylines of some of their favorite films, books, television series, video games, manga, etc. But to some of us, it’s just another place to go to read for free. Some of it includes familiar characters, locations, events, and narratives. Some of it just takes character names and features and brings us into a whole different universe. For readers, it’s a place to go in unknown directions. For authors, it’s a way in which to hone their skills."
 
If you love FanFiction (or want to find out more), give the column a try. It includes a bunch of links.
