War of the Worlds
From Fan History Wiki
Contents |
In 1995, according to a paper by Sue Hazlett,
When fans were unhappy with the second season of War of the Worlds, they literally "rewrote" the history of the show in fan fiction stories which ignored the deaths of major characters and continued from the first season as though the second season never happened. Of 700 fan fiction stories collected in 1995, only 50 followed the story line as it was presented in the second season. The other 650 stories either negated it or ignored it altogether (Gillilal, 1998).
War of the Worlds Fanfic Bibliography was published in 2002. It contained a complete bibliography of all the fan fiction written in War of the Worlds fandom through December 2001, sorted by various categories.
