Sure. In some Vampire Diaries fanfiction, there are cases where the atmosphere of Mystic Falls is almost right. The writer describes some of the key locations like the Salvatore mansion or the high school, but they miss the eerie and magical feel that was so prominent in the show. Also, when it comes to the characters' powers, a fanfic might almost accurately represent how a witch's magic works, but then it messes up when it comes to the limitations and costs of using that magic, which is a crucial part of the Vampire Diaries lore.
One example could be when a fanfic almost nails the relationship between Damon and Elena. It might have the right dialogue for them at the start, but as the story progresses, it fails to capture the intensity and evolution of their relationship like in the show. Another example could be a story that almost creates a great new vampire character with an interesting backstory, but it doesn't fully develop the implications of that backstory on the overall plot of the fanfic.
It could mean that in Vampire Diaries fanfiction, coming close to a certain plot development, character arc, or relationship dynamic isn't satisfactory. For example, if a story almost has a great romantic reunion between two beloved characters but falls short, it leaves readers wanting more. It emphasizes the high standards fans might have for fanfiction in this particular fandom.
Examples of 'almost human slash fanfiction' could vary widely. One might be a story that focuses on the emotional turmoil of a character who has feelings for another character of the same sex in the 'almost human' world. Maybe it shows how they struggle to come to terms with their feelings while still being part of the law - enforcement world shown in the series. Another could be a more light - hearted story where two characters who are friends in the show start to realize they have more than just friendly feelings for each other and begin a relationship, all within the fan - created story based on 'almost human'.
For instance, in a fanfiction of the 'Twilight' saga, instead of the idealized love between Bella and Edward, the writer could show a more complex version. Bella might struggle with Edward's over - protectiveness and they could have more disagreements about her becoming a vampire. Also, in a fanfiction of a superhero story like 'Batman', the love between Batman and Catwoman could be far from perfect. They have different moral compasses, and their relationship could be full of mistrust and power struggles.
For example, in a Vampire Diaries fanfiction, the friendship between Bonnie and Caroline which had been strained moved back to how it was in the early seasons. Ofc, this would have an impact on the overall mood of the story. It could mean that they are now more likely to support each other again. This could also affect how they interact with other characters like Elena and the vampires. Maybe they start working together to solve the latest mystery in Mystic Falls instead of being at odds with each other as they were before the'moved back' situation in the fanfiction.
There are also mystery novels that seem to hold back on the real darkness. Say a mystery where a crime has been committed but the motives are very basic and the consequences for the perpetrator are not as complex or dire as they could be. It's like the novel is skimming the surface of what could be a really dark and complex mystery, making it not dark enough.
One example could be a fanfiction that combines characters from a historical drama with characters from a modern - day superhero universe. So like a king from the past meeting a spandex - clad hero.
Goodreads also has a section for fanfiction sometimes. Although it's not as well - known for fanfiction as the other sites, it can still be a source. Look for groups related to The Vampire Diaries and see if anyone has recommended or shared fanfictions. Also, keep an eye on Reddit. There are subreddits dedicated to fanfiction in general and The Vampire Diaries specifically where people post and discuss their favorite stories.
Sure. Those mass - produced souvenirs that all look the same are 'almost zero novel'. They lack any unique or creative touch.
Sure. There could be a story of a group of orphans who were taken in by a kind - hearted person who was almost like a mother to them. However, due to financial difficulties or some social service regulations, she couldn't officially become their legal guardian. So, they had this 'almost family' relationship. Also, consider a case where a step - family was in the process of forming. The step - parent and the children were getting along well, but then an old feud between the biological parent and the step - parent resurfaced, and the almost - formed family unit was disrupted.
I'm not sure there are specific 'erection' - themed Vampire Diaries fanfictions that are widely known or appropriate. However, there are many great Vampire Diaries fanfictions that focus on the relationships between the characters, like the love triangle of Elena, Stefan, and Damon. You can find them on fanfiction websites such as Archive of Our Own.
