what is this genre you’re referring to
gues who here watched a 3 hour production of Jane Eyre last night, and guess whether or not it was really really really goooooooooooooooooood
no it was legitimately incredible, and if the National Theatre releases a load of old productions from the private educational archives during the pandemic you should watch it
the blanket term is “glowfic” but the problem is that plenty of it sucks
if I were you and wanted to try it out I would start with Silmaril and more specifically I would start with the Demon Cam arc because at that point the Silmaril authors had actually mostly figured out pacing
your mileage will heavily vary on whether this is something you are interested in or not
also it’s sort of a Silmarillion fic but I had 0 Silm knowledge going in and was fine, and the same is true of most readers
please don’t judge my for my immature interests
i associate the word “fanfiction” with nothing good so ill pretend that not-bad fanfiction can exist
y’all are nerds tho

oh no is a rationalist fic like Hary Potter and the Set of All Sets Which Do Not Contain Themselves
fanfiction is a neutral work.
it just means works in an established universe that are not written or endorsed by the official creator. this can be both good and bad
yes that is basically what hpmor is
