Anonymous asked: do you have any recs for (ya) books (or movies!) that ~feel~ like fanfiction? (this is a weird ask, but i feel like if anyone were to understand what i mean, it's you?) cheers
books:
- A Hero at the End of the World by Erin Claiborne (coffeeshop AU, but also MAGICAL)
- Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith (bisexual awakening slash sci-fi B movie apocalypse AU)
- The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater (modern AU Marauders)
- Teeth by Hannah Moskowitz (human/merboy AU)
- The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black (what if vampires? AU)
- Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz (a plain old fashioned high school AU of the first water)
- The Secret History by Donna Tartt (college AU written by a classics major)
- Call Me By Your Name by Andre Aciman (one of those boring in theory but actually incredible AUs that make you never want to read the source material ever again)
- Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (this is literally a novel based on fanfiction one of her characters wrote in Fangirl, sooo - COMING THIS OCTOBER)
other media:
- Penny Dreadful (gothic literature fanfiction with a few OCs, like Ethan, the gunslinging, soft-spoken, bisexual American werewolf)
- Jupiter Ascending (someone got their hands on the self-insert novel you wrote when you were 12 and threw a few million dollars at it)
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier (I mean seriously)
- Sense8 (all these people have a mental connection, experience each others’ lives, and have singalongs and group sex)
- The History Boys (high school AU, bonus everyone’s queer)
- Kill Your Darlings (highbrow film about a literary movement, actually includes the shit you wanna see like library blowjobs and Daniel Radcliffe getting banged, possibly feels like fanfiction because visually it is Drarry)
- Agent Carter (cute G-rated WIP about Peggy’s adventures, will probably end up being Peggy/Angie, makes you cry about Steve like 10 times even though it’s a gen fic)
