Fan fiction (or fanfic) is fiction written by fans of a property without the explicit or even insinuated approval of the copyright holder. This allows for many fans to do what they most desire with the material that they are fiddling around with, 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 mostly 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 and/or awesome stories in which gruesome acts of Decepticon-on-fleshling violence are described in tender, loving detail[1], and, of course, "erotica" of varying degrees of slagged-upness. Many female humans have taken to badly writing romantic fanfic either about Starscream and Alexis/themselves, or any given male character with any other male character. Not hot.

  • 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 or whole movie. Usually in script form.
  • Romance: Pick any two Transformers characters at all. Have them make out. Scale apparently doesn't matter.
  • Extra-humanized Transformers: Sisters! Cousins! Babies! Daddies! Almost a subcategory of "romance," since adding even more organic-like components to Transformers really helps along with the... ahem... sexual intercourse. Scale also does not matter here.
  • 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?
  • 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.
