FanFic Reading Challenge 2020


As you all know and can tell I love me some fanfic so I thought why not reward that with a challenge. In otherwords by doing this challenge I will no longer want to read fanfic cause that's how I roll

Anywho... I stole this from Lost In Translation who did this for 2019

Here are the details of the challenge, brought to you directly from Carrie’s blog:

Option 1: Levels

There are some unique challenges to fanfic reading that need to be addressed in coming up with levels. Fanfics mostly published in serials. They and fanfic archives are all very different, and everyone reads different types of fanfics. Some whole fics are very long or short, some are abandoned or incomplete, and you might already be in the middle of a story when this starts.
The reasons above, among others that were brought up this year, are why I am changing the way levels work for this challenge. These are levels to use as benchmarks or goals for yourself.
Here are the levels (from lowest to highest):
  • Casual Fangirl/boy
  • Fangirl/boy Lite
  • Collector Fangirl/boy
  • Overtaken Fangirl/boy
  • Analytic Fangirl/boy
  • Unapologetic Fangirl/boy
This year, you get to select the number and the metric (fanfics, chapters, words, etc.). For example, I might say Casual Fangirl for me means 1 chapter and Unapologetic Fangirl means 50 chapters. You can change the number and chapter to something else, like fanfics.
As a reminder, you set the values for what each level means.

Option 2: List

While reading a certain amount of fanfic is fun, you can try to diversify your fanfic reading a little bit.
Like in Option 1, you get to set your goal. Choose however many you want to do or which ones you want to do.
Here is the list:
  1. Fanfic Source: Read a fanfic from a different archive/source
  2. Read fanfics from more than 1 or 2 fandoms
  3. A fic that is less than 10,000 words
  4. A fic that is more than 50,000 words
  5. A gen fic
  6. Crossover
  7. An abandoned fic
  8. Fairy tale
  9. Slash or Femslash
  10. Fanfic starring your OTP
  11. Canon-compliant fic
  12. Genderbending
  13. Challenge fic
  14. 5+ year old fic
  15. <1 year old fic
  16. Time travel fic
  17. Enemies to Lovers
  18. Script fic
  19. Unusual character relationships
  20. Recursive fanfiction
  21. Smut/Lemon
  22. Next gen fic
  23. Coffee Shop AU
  24. Period fic
  25. Evil!Hero OR Good!Villain
I'm honestly not sure which way I will go but I will see what happens and report from there!
