This Wikipedia page gives the history of fanficiton and tells about the different types. There are various types of fanficiton which take on various forms such as relationship to cannon, romantic pairings, crossovers, and alternate universes. Alternate universes interests me the most…it is a retelling of a story in which either different events happen alternating the story or the story is retold in another genre and setting. I think I am going to do this for my UFG project

This Wikipedia page goes into more depth describing what alternate universe fan fiction is. It describes it is most often used when a characters history, actions, or place changes altering the story. It also lists examples of the most popular alternate universe fanfiction such as Star Trek and Harry Potter.

[] I found this website very helpful in my research. I noticed that the world of fanfiction seems to have its own language, using terms and letter codes to exaplin certain elements in the genre. This website is some what of a dictionary or encyclopedia regarding the language of fanfiction.

[|http://www.fanfiction.net/book/#] This is a great site for fan fiction examples here are thousands of examples of fanfiction from different categories including Twilight, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, To kill a Mocking bird. The list seems endless and is my main source for fanfiction examples.

This is a link from the previous page that lists many fanfiction writings of Harry Potter mostly concerning alternate universes. They vary in length and topic. Some stories talk about different relationships among characters slightly altering the main story while other invent whole new characters such as Harry Potters brother. They show the wide range of ways a person can write fanfiction mostly revolving around a “what if” scenario.

[] This is another example from the main page but it explains how fanfiction could be written in journal form in which each journal entry is a chapter and should briefly explain key points in a first person point of view.
