Borrow a universe. Bring your own spark.
Fan fiction is a playful way to practise storytelling with familiar worlds and characters. What happens after the final scene? What if the quiet side character becomes the hero? What if two fictional worlds collide? The possibilities are endless.

Write with respect
- Credit the original series, author, game, or creator that inspired the work.
- Do not present another creator’s characters or world as your own invention.
- Keep community submissions age-appropriate and follow each challenge’s content rules.
- Fan fiction is generally best shared as a non-commercial creative activity unless the rights holder permits otherwise.
Use a familiar world to practise. Then build a world only you could imagine.
