There's 'Beautiful Bastard' which started as fanfiction. Fanfiction often gives writers a chance to explore characters and worlds they love in new ways, and these books are proof that such works can transition into mainstream published works. The transition usually involves some changes to make the story more original and distinct, but they still carry the essence of what made the fanfiction popular in the first place.
Sure. 'The Love Hypothesis' started as a Star Wars fanfiction. It then got transformed into a science - based romance novel. 'Gabriel's Inferno' also had its beginnings as fanfiction. It's a story that developed from the writer's love for certain fictional characters and scenarios in other works.
One characteristic is that they often build on existing fictional universes or characters. For example, if it started as 'Harry Potter' fanfiction, it might use the Hogwarts setting or some of the well - known characters in new storylines. Another is that they can bring a fresh perspective. Since they are created by fans who love the original work, they might explore different aspects of the world that the original author didn't focus on.
Often, they have a strong connection to the original source material that inspired them. For example, they might keep the same setting or some of the characters' traits from the original work. They also tend to attract fans of the original work initially. For instance, 'Fifty Shades of Grey' being based on 'Twilight' initially got the attention of 'Twilight' fans.
Yes. 'Wide Sargasso Sea' is considered a kind of fanfiction of 'Jane Eyre'. It tells the story from the perspective of Bertha Mason, the so - called mad woman in the attic in 'Jane Eyre'.

It takes the idea of a magical world like in many classic fantasy novels and gives it a modern, more cynical twist.

There's 'E. L. James' 'Fifty Shades of Grey' which was initially 'Twilight' fanfiction. Then there's 'The Magicians' which has some elements that were inspired by fanfiction - like takes on classic fantasy tropes.
