Fanfics.me (also called fanfics, фанфикс) is a Russian-language website that is primarily a platform for hosting/archiving fanfiction. It also hosts some fanart and functions as a community hub. Every user profile has a microblog and there is a common blogs feed. Fanfics.me originated as an archive exclusive to Harry Potter fanfiction, but opened up to other fandoms and original works as its audience grew. It is possibly the second largest Russian-language fanfiction archive after Ficbook.
Since early on Fanfics.me has been dedicated to quality control, with all uploaded fanfiction going through a screening process to filter out works with glaring grammar and punctuation issues, as well as significant narrative inconsistencies. This policy has always been controversial in other fandom communities. Many fandomgoers have felt that imposing quality control on fanworks was arrogant or contrary to the spirit of fandom. Others have pointed out that the screening process is not very strict and is a small price for a better reading experience. Regardless of the criticisms, Fanfics.me has a loyal userbase.
As of December 2024, Fanfics.me allows users to publish works without screening. Works like this have a label indicating they have not been checked for grammar. Readers can filter search results to only show works that have been screened by the moderation team.
Response to Russia's LGBT Propaganda Law
Due to the anti-LGBT law implemented in December 2022, Fanfics.me stopped displaying slash and femslash fanworks to users accessing the site from Russia/from a Russian IP address. Authors can still modify their own slash and femslash works through their profile.
