I don’t know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go… The Different Types of Fanfiction!
I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD
The crack fic is enough for a reblog.
These are great! There can be different words used for some of these in fan circles (e.g. gap-fillers are a kind of addition) and I’ve never actually seen a fic called an aberration (some term themselves AUs, actually, since they diverge from canon), but these diagrams are a good way to visualize the various types.
