Why are these the five cartoons with the most fanfiction?
Higher quality cartoons attract larger fanbases, which in turn produces greater numbers of fanfics of quality proportional to the original show.
Oh wait, no, that's not right.

why the fuck is Danny Phantom on there
the rest I get but was Danny Phantom really that popular?
>>83180236
'cause sharp tweens like ghosts and black and shipping and shit
>>83179787
It's world building/exploration potential multiplied by the autism level of the fans.
Avatar fans are only somewhat autistic, but has a world with huge story potential.
MLP fans are insanely autistic, so its up there despite the low potential of its world.

Shipping.
>>83180236
DP is the epitome of wasted potential, people tried to fill that gap with fanfiction.
Also lots of shipping.
I think most of these shows had large female fanbases.

Bronies (also probably shipping)

>>83179787
They are some of the most famous cartoons, so naturally they have larger fanbases.
And I don't mean famous like Mickey and Flintstones. Those characters are famous, but not many people in modern day watched them regularly.
>>83179787
Porn and Shipping, anon.
Porn and Shipping...
But for it to work you need both, a lot of Wasted potential a dumb enough fanbase to lap up that shit and not feel ashamed of making that content.

did you not write your own stories?
fanfics are more fun to make then to read in my experience. i won't pretend the stuff i did was good, but i enjoyed ithelps that it was all porn
>>83179787
I get the first 4, all known for huge extreme fanbases.
Danny Phantom is odd tho
>>83183969
IZ doesn't make for good fanfiction. It's popular, sure, but there's not enough of a cast for it. Shows with a lot of fanfiction often have a large cast
>>83184028
I started one in my teens and canned it when I realized it was shit. I didn't want to produce something I would have passed over.
Nowadays the lore for most media I like is too silly to try to write a serious story with andcrippling depression doesn't allow me to express myself creatively anyway.
>beast wars
What? Why?
The website started in 97, so it makes sense that all the 90s/00s kids would be writing about the shows they were watching. Avatar, Teen Titans and Danny Phantom all came out around the same time, and all of those shows had at least 3 seasons worth of material for fans to fiction.
>>83183938
To be fair, it's not exclusive to fanfiction; Sturgeon's law and all that. 90% of everything is crap.
>>83183863
>Why is Hetalia so far up there though?
The premise of the show is Nations as humans. You don't need to even come up with some interesting plot or AU, all you have to do is skim trough a Wikipedia page of an historical event and write about it using the characters.
>>83183751
I didn't know the Inuyasha fandom was that big, bigger than Sailor moon even.

Why are you looking on fanfiction.net anon? Don't you know everyone and their mother has moved to AO3 years ago? Most of the fics on FFN are really old.
And since we're looking at statistics, here are some for the year 2015: https://archiveofourown.org/works/5615386

>>83185328
>One Direction
What?
Also I expected Homostuck to be numba 1.
>>83185144
No, it's rather that it's sausage fest and fujos can ship and write gay porn of whoever the hell they want, combinations are endless.
And it doesn't even have to make sense, original comic rarely does.
>>83185193
Not necessarily bigger. Just more prolific. Inuyasha is just written in such a way that fujoshis have to write fanfics about it.
>>83185529
Fujoshits shipping real people...bleh.
Am I wrong or if you take out all the comic based live action tv and movies (lots of which are pretty big) aren't the only /co/ things on there Homostuck with a huge lead followed by Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, and Legend of Korra in that order? Or am I missing something? Do Bronies still use ff.net for their shipping and clopfics?
>>83185529
Nowadays it's a niche series. It was kind of big before, but that was literally years ago.
And didn't it end already, btw?
>>83179787
Beyond simply being popular, they're all settings that are reasonably malleable to play around in.
>>83185529
...You've never heard about One Direction fanfiction? I've literally seen fanfictions where Harry Styles (with a different name) is shipped with the author's self insert sold in bookstores. And they sold a fuckton.
>>83185733
Yeah, but just a couple of months ago. I guess Archive was created somewhen around the hiatuses so the fandom was not that active? I'm not sure but Homostuck might have the most fanatics in the comics category.

>five nights at freddys that big
That game has only been out like 2 years and it's already amassed that many fanfics? I know it's fanbase is autistic, but I didn't know autism would churn out so much shit at once.
Large female fanbases.
>>83180403
>MLP fans are insanely autistic, so its up there despite the low potential of its world.
sorry to focus on this outside of /mlp/ but it's clear you haven't actually watched the show, or watched it for autistic reasons yourself.
The worldbuilding is INSANELY huge in that show, so huge, that the authors are unable to cope with it since they are more used to slice of life stories.
>>83186108
that graph was for a single individual year, so current popular shows are just as likely to get as much fan content as classic ones
>>83185861
>Apparently, yes. MLP is on Naruto's left.
Oh there we go, there it is. I knew I was missing something. I'm just shocked it's not much bigger. But I also have a feeling there is an absolute shitton of MLP fanfic in other places than AO3. Before the banishment I vaguely remember the "Mane 6" shipping war autism here.
>>83179787
Well, there is probably a lot of overlap between DPand Teen Titans
>>83184430
Beast Wars is just put with Transformers by association
>>83185328
>Hockey
???
>>83186402
Well that's less worrying.
>>83186263
..oops, fuck. Thought I was still looking at A03. Still, I feel like I remember there being other brony-only places for MLP fanfic that were outside and apart from any of the major archives. I wasn't in bannable offense horse show fandom but was curious enough to see that the bronies had built up huge autistic internet shrines to it.
>>83184028
I had an ex who wrote Batman fanfiction.
I was amazed at how serious she was about it. She made me read some shit and it was eye gougingly terrible and hard to understand. I never told her what I truly thought.
>>83185328
I fucking hate fan fiction about real people personally. I won't harass anyone about it it just seems creepy and retarded to me.
AO3 is just plain fujoshit central. End of story. That explains why Homostuck and Gravity falls are on there, penis fencing pairings. If anything, a little surprise is that Steven Universe and Legend of Korra are on there, since those are mostly dyke ship shows. OUAT if I remember right is too. It's all about the evil queen fucking the blonde girl, right?
>>83186705
What kind of fanfics? The kind of 'I desperately want to be a comic/cartoon writer but I don't have talent' or Bruce and Dick butt fucking in the showers?
>>83180236
Fujoshits wanted to write about a fourteen year old boy and a fifty year old man.
Gravity Falls gets a shit load of fan fiction but the deluded fans of them refuse to call it so and dub it as "alternate universes" to make themselves feel better about the shite they participate in.
>>83187518
There isn't even anything to ship for that show considering the mains are related.
>>83186799
The first kind, fueled by massive Dunning-Kruger.
Serious fanfic might be even weirder than self-insert smut fic, at least you know what it is in that case.
>>83179787
Avatar, Titans, Transformers, and Danny Phantom are all because their audiences mostly consist of children.
The other one is self evident.
>>83187581
Come on, man.
>>83187676
Not saying that there aren't some incest fics and porn. But most fanfic is written by girls and girls don't like incest pairings.
>>83187729
according to a quick check, the most popular ship in Gravity Falls according to Ao3 isDipper Pines/Bill Cipher
>>83179787

undertale sort of astounds me. Has there ever been a fandom where reader fiction was the most popular ship?
>>83188753
i guess its mostly because its easier to have reader than making your own OC, then it wont come off as a mary-sue.
ive read quite a few, and i have to say that its not as cancerous as id expect, some are actually quite good, but the ironic part is that no one can write sans right
>all these male/male pairings
This reminds me of my good friend and college roommate. She said I was "bigoted in a roundabout way" because I didn't really have any male/male ships. Nevermind that I'm bisexual and obviously have no problem with gay people. And the various things I've been into in the past (at least in regards to anime) have all been Shonen, so I shipped het pairings. Well, she's had shades of fujoshit in her, but she's gotten better, so maybe that explains it.
>>83179787
>Avatar
Large cast, in-show romantic tension.
>Teen Titans
In show romantic tension, being one of the earliest quasi-anime.
>Transformers
Length/age of fandom.
>MLP
Self-fueling popularity. Like fan art, it was easy for new fanfic writers to get attention by writing an MLP fic.
>Danny Phantom
High number of characters, in show romantic tension, and school setting conducive to self insert.
>>83189407
how dare you not have m/m ships you homophobic shitlord, can't you see how obvious their not canon love is?
>>83185880Poland/Lithuania is the most popular one, but I believe you can find that too. I'm also kind of sure Hetalia fans are capable of shipping Germany with anyone, just like Japan.
>>83179787
and then there's fimfiction.net
>>83179787
a-u-t-i-s-m
>>83186026
Guess what
MLP is probably a lot better than Danny Phantom
I don't know much about MLP, but I know that the last season of Danny Phantom dropped the ball
Any show that completely retcons the origin for basically the entire plot isn't well written, even if Hartman did have to completely restructure it, there are still ways to work within the confines of not being able to call them "ghosts"
Avatar and Teen Titans had a lot of interpersonal drama that is the sort of thing often featured in fan fiction
Bronies are obsessive
Transformers fans write fan fic like crazy and Beast Wars was probably one of the best Transformers cartoons.
No clue on Danny Phantom
>>83180236
It was one of those cartoons that was around just when internet fandoms started becoming a really big thing.
Do you guys wanna share some 'fics you've written? I'll start.

>>83179787
The only one that surprises me is Danny Phantom. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to piece together. These shows had a large audience, and therefore more people making fanfiction about them.
I admit it.
I wrote several Pokemon and Digimon fan fictions back when I was younger. And all of them were crossovers with something else.
Pokemon x Godzilla with many of the monsters being created by scientists mutating Pokemon with bio-goo
Pokemon x Dante's Peak
Pokemon x Star Trek
Digimon x Godzilla (the entire Eighth Child arc of 01 with Godzila, Rodan, MechaGodzilla2, King Ghidorah, Garuda, Super-X III, and some military people)
And of course, Digimon x Pokemon.

>tfw most billdip is either fluff or pirates
If your going to have the characters be so OOC why not make your own?
>>83193259
Are any of them lemons?
>>83180236
Danny Phantom wasted a lot of its potential.
It felt like there was a bigger story supposed to be told after season 2, but it was cut and the creators rushed a very bad finale on very little time.
Danny Phantom fans try to comfort themselves with fix-it fics to resolve their emotional devastation.I speak from personal experience
>>83193316
No. A couple had the usual romance/shipping between characters like Ash/Misty and Tai/Sora, but that's it. Hell of a lot of action, though, and I wrote novels, the Digimon/Godzilla one was over four hundred pages when I was done.
>>83180445
>higher quality cartoons
>Teen Titans
>>83183751
Most popular video game series, it just as I expected.
>>83186783
There's more straight ships in OUAT surprisingly, Since Canon ships usually get ignored. The lesbian shippers are just the whiniest.
>>83180236
Its the definition of wasted potential, although I believe most of it is yaoi of Danny and the evil rich guy.
>>83186186
I watched the first three seasons. You are talking out of your ass. There is very little world building.
>>83187518
Are you...retarded? AUs doesnt need to be related to fanfics, can be just drawings.
Also, AUs are concepts, not "fanfics", a fanfic is a speciphic story.
And this isnt exclusive from Gravitty Falls, everyone knows what an alternate umiverse is, you just see a lot of them related to Gravitty Falls, because there is a fuck ton of AUs of Gravitty Falls.
>>83184430
Beast Wars came out around the same time the internet started getting bigger.One of the first websites I frequented as a kid was a Beast Wars fanfiction website.
>>83184028
I can never write Fanfiction again.
A long time ago, I decided to write fanfiction for a certain show. With my OC as a self-insert. It eventually got sexual. But seeing as how I was fucking 14 at most, it wasn't good at all. And it never would've been. But it did get a small, three or four person following.
And then my father found it. And showed it to his co-workers. And called me an "author."
I got rid of everything. Everything I fucking could, I deleted every fucking trace of it. It's been a decade now, he doesn't bring it up, but I'm positive he still remembers.
>>83186186
This. It has a big fantasy map with lots of unvisited areas, half-filled-in lore, and a few bad-end war alt-timelines, so it's rife for fanfic.
>>83186263
>But I also have a feeling there is an absolute shitton of MLP fanfic in other places than AO3
Yeah, fimfiction.net is the big one I think. It apparently has 98,234 approved stories as of this moment.

>a certain show
What was it? You don't have to be oblique on an anonymous imageboard.
>>83194971
I used to draw art of cartoon and videogame characters until my dad went through my account on the family computer.
My art was pretty good but I had to stop after that. Its been 3 years since and I haven't drawn since.My heart felt broken after I saw that the consensus among my fans was that I was dead.
>>83195138
I should of added that it was porn art with fucked up fetishes, my bad.
>>83194971

Go to the crossover section for cartoons, specifically Space Ghost.
You'll thank me later.
>>83195063It was Chaotic lemon. I'm ashamed to this fucking day, but I always saw it on at 7 or 8 AM at my brother's hockey games and I always wanted to be a part of that world, where you can just say "fuck it, I'm out," let a clone live your life for a few days while you go to a megacomplex of card games, free of any real conflict or obligations, and hang out with some friends, then come back and have all the memories of your clone like you never left. It sounds like the perfect fucking life, but I took it too far.
>>83195304
what exactly did you dad say to you? What did his friends say?
>>83195548
The thing is he only said "good job on trying to write." But I could not deal with the fact that he knew, and it's like all the feelings of cringe that story should've given me in the first place rushed into me at once, and I had to delete everything to preserve my sanity.
I never met any of his friends who he told.
