>>>yep...i heard of it and read it...and if you read ch20 of this fic, there is a scene where two people were making love...

is there any rules about making a fanfic?

Well the general rule of thumb is to keep it within the franchise's "relem of possibilty". If it is crossover, keep your fic within all the franchise you have chosen. However, if it is an alternative universe fic, all you just have to do is to keep the apperances,names and possibly their personality, everything else you can make up.

I have a fandom discussion board on my website's forum if you are intrested.

what i mean is that isn't there a rule about mature contents?

>>>no tol...there are no rules in making fics...Like in making stories, the rules are made by the author themselves...as long as they dont hurt others...

Yes, but it generally helps if you follow a set of guidelines so it doesn't get filed under "rubbish"

so anything goes no holds barred in fanfics?

sorta...

as long as you story dosen't hurt people, its okay...

but if your story hurts/offends a specific kind of person, you might lead to libel... :p

you can characters that already exist in other series right?

>>>yes...you can use those in making fics. Actually, that is one of the unique characteristics of making fics(i think). You can use popular names/brands even through you have been granted permission or not. :E

so it is a worry-free-libel-case?

In reality fanfics help everyone, because fans would want to write stories about their favoraite show and let their creativity flow. They want to do things like crossover series, build their own universe around them or just generally write storys about their heroes and friends.

And another fact to quote one fanfic writer:
"Not gonna do it. To the companies, fanfiction is free advertising. Why spend money to get rid of it?"

isn't it look so bad that you'll make your own stories against their own original stories? it may destroy some of the good things for the owner...it may lessen the interest of other anime company to produce more bcoz of fanfics...
