the costuming detail in narnia makes me go bonkers sometimes tho likeeee. they're wearing clothes from their golden age selves in the second film, and lucy who was famously the warrior queen? her dress is actually pants under an overskirt. the white witch's icicle crown slowly melts away to nothing as spring breaks and aslan's power overcomes her own. she wears his shorn mane as a symbolic part of her battle garb. caspian wears the same shirt under his armor for almost the entirety of the movie. it's his fucking pajama shirt. because that's the only thing he was wearing when he escaped.
Fanfiction Websites You Have and Haven’t Heard Of, an Incomplete Guide
This was going to be a reblog to a post I saw floating past in the Wattpad tag, but I decided making it its own post was politer. If you say anything impolite to OOP I’m breaking into your house and gnawing through all your shoelaces.
Quote from the linked post: “…we need more fanfiction websites because we have like 2…”
I understand why it feels that way. As the internet gets less and less user friendly and search engines destroy themselves, it’s harder and harder to find smaller or lesser known websites. That doesn’t mean they aren’t there, though! I’m going to divide the sites under the cut into categories for ease of reading. Many of the links below go to websites that host explicit content, but none of them go directly to that content.
At the time of original posting, there are 24 sites listed here. (Edit: up to 31!) Please tell me about other active fanfiction websites in the notes.
This post owes a lot to Fanlore’s Multifandom Archive page, which is worth a look if you want to see the many, many defunct sites we have records of.
The Big Three
Archive of Our Own
Run by the nonprofit Organization for Transformative Works, which also runs the Fanlore wiki, the peer-reviewed academic journal Transformative Works and Cultures, the Open Doors project for archiving at-risk fannish projects, and a fannish legal advocacy project.
Users must be thirteen or older. Allows both fanfiction and original work. Does not allow commercial content. See the Terms of Service here.
Fanfiction.net
At one time, FFN was the internet’s largest fanfiction site. Older anime and manga fandoms especially have many works found there and nowhere else. Its sister site FictionPress, which split off in 2003, is an archive of original fiction and poetry.
Does not allow explicit content, real-person fiction, songfic, reader inserts, works in the second person point of view, or fanfiction of works by twelve authors and publishers who have expressed that they do not want fanfiction of their IP.
Wattpad
Allows both fanfiction and original work. Does not allow… I’m just going to link this summary by @orangestorapples.
Other Large Archives
AdultFanFiction.Net
Once a Buffy/Angel archive hosted on Geocities. Became multifandom in response to the 2002 Fanfiction.Net adult content ban.
Allows both fanfiction and original work. Users are required to be over eighteen. Does not allow sexual content about characters under eighteen.
Animexx.de
One of the largest German-language fanfiction archives. Also functions as a messageboard and social hub. Primarily hosts anime and manga fics.
Does not allow sexual content featuring children under fifteen, bestiality, necrophilia, cannibalism, glorification of violence or Naziism, chatfics, author’s notes in the middle of fics, begging for comments, selling fanart, or insulting lurkers (today I learned the German word for lurker).
Fanfiktion.de
A German-language archive of fanfiction, original work, and meta.
Does not allow fanfiction of works by Diana Gabaldon or J.R. Ward, RPF about certain celebrities who have sent in legal threats, or, due to a weird copyright claim from an eyeglass manufacturer, Avatar: The Last Airbender fics featuring the fan-created Lightbender ability.
Stories featuring content that may be disturbing for children, such as positive characterization of criminals, are only accessible at night or after once-a-month ID verification. Does not allow content dangerous for the development of children, including pornography. Also does not allow chatfics, extensive linking within stories, chapters which are not part of the story, or especially bad grammar and spelling.
FicWad
Allows both fanfiction and original work.
Fimfiction
An archive of fanfiction related to the My Little Pony franchise and associated properties.
Does not allow AI-generated works, copyrighted song lyrics not from My Little Pony, sexual content featuring human or anthropomorphic characters under the age of eighteen, script or chat format, especially poor spelling and grammar, non-English works, or chapters that are not part of the story itself.

Does not allow erotica or sexual content involving underage characters.
Scribble Hub
Allows both original work and fanfiction. Does not allow donation links on fanfiction, translations, stories not in English, porn without plot, sexual content featuring characters under eighteen, stories encouraging nonconsensual sex acts, depictions of bestiality or necrophilia, or AI-generated works.
Spacebattles
A forum-style website especially popular with science fiction fans and fans of the webserial Worm. Allows both fanfiction and original work.

Ad Astra

Squidge.org offers a variety of web hosting, archival, and mailing list services to fan creators. Squidge Images, an image hosting site, is a particularly beloved offshoot.

Underage sexual content is allowed, but must be warned for and archive locked. Commercial links are not allowed anywhere except in the notes of wholly original work. AI-generated works are also not allowed.
Sunset Archive
