Fan goodboydummy posted four images on their Tumblr account in August 2012 to visually define The Different Types of Fanfiction as compared to the fandom's canon plot. "I probably left a few out, but these are the most common," they said.[1]
The definitions include: Extension; Addition; Alteration; Alternate Universe; Crack Fic; Different POV; and Drabbles.
A few years later (c.2015), yougothenigo added similar definitions for Smut and There, I fixed it for you.[2]
Fan response
As of 26 March 2021, there are over 395,000 notes on Tumblr, indicating that these definitions hit the nail on the head and the funnybone, too.
While Tumblr doesn't lend itself to detailed comments, reactions included:
- Hahahaj love it from musickaiju
- Accurate. 100% Accurate. from khatsnook
- Um yes this is genius. from lumosinlove
- The crack fic is enough for a reblog. from cardofrage
