Aliens are a staple of the science fiction genre. They also appear in fanfiction and fanart in many fandoms. In fiction, portrayals of aliens range from menacing to peaceful and from beings from civilizations far more advanced than human to simple life forms. Aliens may interact with humans/earthlings, but not necessarily.
Alien AU
Fanwork Examples
- Because Dragon Ball has canonical space aliens (Saiyans) whose homeworld was destroyed prior to the start of the series, fanfiction and fanart set in an AU in which the planet Vegetasei was never destroyed are common enough to practically be a subgenre of DragonBall fanworks.
Fanfic
- The One With Aliens by interrodang. A Shaun Hastings/Desmond Miles oneshot in which Shaun discovers Desmond is an alien.
- Lost in translation (a be-tentacled romance) by Ravager_Zero. Original science fiction drawing inspiration from Arrival (2016) and the Cthulhu Mythos.
