HotRodimus: /* Popular Transformers fanfic topics */

'''Fan fiction''' (or '''fanfic''') is fiction written by fans of a property, without the explicit approval of the copyright holder. This allows for many fans to do what they please with the material that they are fiddling, be it to make a serious and epic story or to just plain mess around and play with their little fantasies. Needless to say, not all fanfics are good, but which are and which aren't is up to the reader's discretion.

===Topics===
Over the years, an incredibly wide variety of ''Transformers'' fanfic has been written, including straightforward adventure stories, crossovers with other properties, parodies, incredibly creepy stories in which gruesome acts of [[Decepticon]]-on-[[fleshling]] violence are described in tender, loving detail[http://shortpacked.com/comic/book-1-brings-back-the-80s/06-mrs-greg-killmaster/a-61/], and, of course, "erotica" of varying degrees of [[Slag (slang)|slagged]]-upness. Many female [[Human|humans]] have taken to writing romantic fanfic either about [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] and [[Alexis]]/themselves, or [[Autobot|any]] [[Decepticon|given]] male character with any other male character. Hot.

====Popular Transformers fanfic topics====
*'''Self-insertion.''' Guess what, you're a Transformer, and everyone likes you the best. Here, have the [[Matrix]].
*'''Fan-written episodes.''' Can range from one story mimicking the structure of a television episode to an entire fake season. Usually in script form.
*'''[[Transformer romance|Romance]].''' Pick two Transformers characters. Have them make out. The couples can vary at times. (Examples: Optimus and Elita, Hot Rod and Arcee, Megatron and Starscream (yes, you read that.), etc.)
*'''Extra-humanized Transformers.''' Sisters! Cousins! Babies! Almost a subcategory of "romance," since adding even more organic-like components to Transformers really helps along the sexual intercourse.
*'''Crossovers.''' Because civilization is not complete until Soundwave somehow becomes human and enrolls at Riverdale High.
*'''Character-driven stories.''' What does Cosmos think about when he's alone in space? What's a typical day for Big Daddy? These, along with fan written episodes, are the most famous with fans.
*'''Absolute fanwanking.''' A nerd's nerd will write these, and they probably involve things like [[Berko]] or [[Forestonite]]. How does everything fit together? Let's connect the dots, The Question-style.

===Hard work pays off===
In recent years, a few Transformers fanfic writers have made the jump to writing [[Hasbro]]-sanctioned fiction, including [[Ben Yee]], [[Greg Sepelak]], [[Trent Troop]], [[Josh van Reyk]] and [[Shaun Knowler]].
