I was 12 when I read my first fanfiction. I remember being a part of the fandom for quite a while (I can't tell you which fandom because that is utterly embarrassing, but I can assure you I had a good time), and finding these art pieces was really special to me. Suddenly my OTP could do so much more than what was canonically possible and I felt like the entire world opened up to me.
I wish I could tell you I had outgrown my fanfiction obsession, but I simply love the idea that every time I fall in love with a character, I can visit AO3 or Fanfiction.net and go on so many other adventures with them. And more often than I would like to admit, I love to go back and reread some of my favorite fanfics from when I was 12.
So if you ever shared my love for fanfiction, no matter the fandom, I invite you to scroll down for a selection of fantastically funny memes about fanfiction and everything around it. And when you're done, for all the Whovians out there, click here for some hilarious Doctor Who memes.
