I can’t believe February is over! March is going to be nuts! The Most Special Chosen<\/em> is out tomorrow. You can pre-order it now on Amazon<\/a>. And make sure you check out my Facebook release party<\/a> on Sunday, there will be a ton of giveaways and takeovers by some fabulous female authors.<\/p>\n

This month’s Friday Reads is very different. I’m not recommending a book, I’m recommending a… let’s call it a genre.<\/p>\n

I’m a huge fan of fanfiction. Good fanfiction that is. And yes, such a thing exists.<\/p>\n

I pretty much only read Harry Potter fanfiction. There are just so many fun ideas within that single sub-genre, I haven’t manage to expand to much of any of the other sub-genres yet.<\/p>\n

If you’re a Potterhead like yours truly, or even if you’re not, honestly, I suggest giving fanfiction a try for whatever fandoms you’re part of.<\/p>\n

It will never replace books, obviously, but in those\u00a0“low income” interludes between paychecks when you’re dying for something new to read, fanfiction is a godsend.<\/p>\n

Understandably, the online thing may pose a problem, after all, neither wifi nor cell signal are available everywhere, and you don’t want to eat through your data. However, the fanfiction.net app (Android<\/a> | iOS<\/a>) lets you download stories for offline reading. There’s also ficsave.xyz<\/a>\u00a0which downloads ePub, mobi, and txt files at the press of a button. I tend to prefer the app when I’m reading a story in progress since it will\u00a0automatically download new chapters, but I like ficsave for finished stories since there’s no worry of the author deciding to remove the story from the site.<\/p>\n

So if you have some extra time, I highly suggest you check out FanFiction.net<\/a>. Some of my favorite authors include robst<\/a>, chem prof<\/a>, Clell65619<\/a>, old-crow<\/a>, and\u00a0Rorschach’s Blot<\/a>. Go take a look. Maybe even try dabbling in some fanfiction writing yourself. It can be fun to take a story precisely where you want it to go. Heck, I’d love to see some\u00a0The Most Special Chosen<\/em> fanfiction. *wink*<\/p>\n

But be careful, fanfiction can pull you in, and before you know it, you can’t separate canon from fiction. Don’t worry, though, it’snot like I’ve doomed you to a black hole that will suck you in and consume your life or anything.\u00a0Mwahahaha<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you’re a fanfiction reader, or writer, drop your favorite author or story below. I’m always on the lookout for something new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
