Fanfiction in general. So yes, crossovers, shipfics, AUs, BL, you name it. It's probably been written.

Wouldn't give a fuck. Too busy living life to
peruse random fan-fics.
I'd probably be flattered by some, creeped out by others, and worry that certain of them would be better than my work

I've seen authors say they don't read fan fiction for legal reasons. Even if it's unconscious, it's really bad if you write something that ends up similar to a fanfic. It's best to just avoid them altogether.

This. Everyone else in this thread is a worrywart, fanfic is just new sincerity at its finest.
>>7408039
Honestly I'd just be happy something I made was big enough to warrant fanfiction.
