Tumblr Posts About the Cringe and Hilarity of Fanfiction

Think of something. Anything, really. There’s probably a fanfiction about or featuring whatever popped into your mind. For example, we just googled «coffee table fanfiction» and got some ludicrous results involving a character named Lamp and his lover, Hamegg. And that’s nowhere near the strangest fanfiction we’ve seen over the years. 

As a teenager, I was partial to fan-written stories about my favorite band at the time, The Strokes. They’d get it on with the members of other bands that were popular at the time (The Vines, Jet, I’m dating myself) and I’d read all about it while hunched over at my family computer. While I no longer indulge in fanfiction, I’m still fascinated by the communities that churn it out – and the weird and awkward topics the literature is about. Tumblr happens to be a place that fanfic enthusiasts can call a safe space, and there’s no shortage of posts (both funny and crazy) devoted to the «art.» This selection of posts from the site does a particularly good job of showcasing the cringey, strange and horny world.
