I figured I’d do an update for the 2019 Fanfiction Reading Challenge!
I originally planned on writing and posting this update waaaayyy before now - but life, the universe, and everything got in the goddamned way! Lol.
This challenge is hosted by the lovely Carrie @ Cat on the Bookshelf, and I picked option 2 – which is a list of types of fics.
Fanfic Source: Read a fanfic from a different archive/source
Status: Pending
Explanation: OK, I have two major sources for Fanfiction, and I haven’t read outside them yet, so this one is still pending.
Read fanfics from more than 1 or 2 fandoms
Status: Filled
Explanation: I have no self-control when it comes to fanfiction.
I’ve read fics from the following fandoms so far this year: MCU, Arrowverse, Umbrella Academy, Sherlock, Danny Phantom, Harry Potter Universe, Haven… and probably a lot more.
And that’s without splitting things like the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) into their individual fics.

A fic that is less than 10,000 words
Status: filled
Explanation: most of the fics I read are less than 10,000 words. I like short fics dammit!
A fic that is more than 50,000 words
Status: Filled
Explanation: I love it when fic writers take things really seriously!
A gen fic
Status: Filled
Explanation: You’d be surprised how many fics are Gen. There can be bloody murder everywhere but as long as there’s no sexy-times, we’re golden! ;)
Crossover
Status: Filled
Explanation: Even outside crossovers inside universes (if that makes even the least bit of sense,) there’s a lot of crossovers in fanfiction.
I have a pretty sound theory that at some point, every fandom ever has been crossed over with Harry Potter!

Next gen fic
Status: Pending
Coffee Shop AU
Status: Pending
Explanation: I somehow don’t seem to have read Coffee Shop AU this year yet?!
Is the fabric of reality & fandom as we know it going to crumble?!
This might be a mistake, I’ll have to double-check!
Period fic
Status: Filled
Explanation: Thank you, once again, Umbrella Academy!
Evil!Hero OR Good!Villain
Status: Unknown
Explanation: Honestly, I’m not sure what counts here b/c I tend to favour moral grey areas.
Any recommendations for the categories I'm missing?
