I think even the thought of this idea is...

Now, as I was wasting time on MAL (once again), as I stumbled upon this post: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=706743&show=20#msg27011549

At first, it struck me as odd. Then I thought about it, and can't decide whether it's a horrifying, genius or just stupid idea. Or all of the above.

I may not be a much of a fanfiction writer myself (which is why I'm not going to bother to write according to this idea), but I do know that some people write fanfiction about real life people, like celebrities, historical figures and such. And while MAL may not be on exactly same level as those examples, might I point out that there's been, and probably always will be, fanfictions about a lot more unorthodox subjects.

However, it's always dodgy to write about real people. On the other hand, the most that these possible writers would get out of the said people in this scenario would be limited to how they act with their internet identities, along with bunch of stuff they've decided to reveal about themselves on a forum such as this one.

I did not reach a conclusion in my pondering. So naturally, the next logical step was to create a MAL-thread.

Opinions?

Sadly (or should I say fortunately?), I didn't have a page
I didn't even know it exist before it get deleted. Someone must have screenshoot of it somewhere.

If this plan bears fruit, I call first dibs on being in a fanfic with MelJel.

But yeah, I say go for it. They'd be a pretty interesting read if I do say so myself! :3

You make it sound like I'm the one doing the writing.

...not that I'm denying it either at this point. Perhaps if I finally manage find the right category on Fanfiction.net. That, and research.

Fanfic of MAL members? I'm for it, as long as the users written in it give the writer permission.

So if anyone wants to write a MAL fanfiction, feel free to use me in it!

EDIT:
Heck, if enough users in this thread say yes and volunteer themselves to be used in a fanfic, I might write one.

That's one of the issues I mentioned in the OP. There's always people who will write about people, regardless whether they have given their blessings or not.

Of course, if there is a hypothetical place for these hypothetical things, it could possibly keep track of hypothetical people who have given their blessing.

The plot thickens.

Anyway, you should probably post it on the creative section, seeing that that's the proper place for them.

You can post the link here though.

That can be easily solved by using OC based on people you know.

For example, my MAL fanfic is about the forbidden love between MellowYellow, it rhymes, and Reg_Keys, a concept in computer systems; so you don't have to worry about how close your characters mimic reality.

We can do that. We can do it in chapters.
I'll make a thread in Creative section of MAL once I've finished the first chapter of this story. It can be filled with the adventures of many MALians.
I'm still writing it right now though, so give me a little time. It won't be too much longer...

I can't believe this is actually happening

Is this going to be a bunch of random little stories or will it have an overarching plot?

I'll say. I thought that people would be a lot more resistant. I guess I've underestimated those people (and I ain't complaining about it).

For your question: I didn't even think of the latter option, as my starting point of view was... well, fanfiction.

I'd say it could go either way, or both at the same time, depending on whether or not people start to plan this. And considering how this thread has progressed during the last two hours, I'm not going to rule out any options.

And thus, after 3 hours from the creation of the topic, MAL-fanfiction is officially a thing now.

Also, I actually like it. It's not what I expected, in a good way (both on quality and the actual story, even though a bit short (for now)). So much of delicious meta-stuff just waiting to occur.

Maybe I'll add something as well, once I've slept over night.

PS. You could probably link this thread to the beginning, so that people who are wondering about it can find the source easier.

Well he did do it in about 2 hours, which isn't much time, and felt inclined to include more users than needed for such a short fanfic. Considering all that, I think he done very well. Now, if someone were given far more time and used less people so that they would be focused on, I could see this becoming interesting :3

There are so many real events that these fanfics can be based on; Bloodcalibur's gay relationship with Katsucats, Randomchampion's gay obsession infatuation with Bloodcalibur, Immahnoob's unrequited love for Nicole, Jenny being a trap, Mellow being a trap, theautocrat & Infiniteryvius incident, all of the users who suffer from GOTIS.
