Forum:Difference between Fanon and Fan Fiction?

Forums: Index → Fanon discussions → Difference between Fanon and Fan Fiction? | Post

Well, basically, I'm not quite sure on the differences and similarities between fanons and fan-fictions. I know that there is a difference, as the wiki has separate featured voting for them.

I'd love to know the difference as I plan on starting one, so if anyone could help that would be so kind! Thankyou!

Fanon is basically the pages on sims and families, while Fan fiction are the longer story based ones. ―ฬђ ^talk 22:36, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Is this difference ever stated somewhere specifically? If not we might want to consider adding the definitions to avoid future confusion. -- LiR ^{speak ~ read} 22:45, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you WH! And I don't think it is anywhere. I tried looking for it before I asked, just in case somebody linked me to a page with the definitions and I ended up looking pretty stupid, haha. ~ Waikikamukow (Anyone wanna chat?) 22:54, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Personally, I think the same thing as Wogan too, though I'm not sure if there's any other specific differences. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 16:40, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
