Spiderman is usually shown as a friendly and mild-mannered hero but this all changes when Peter Parker climbs out of bed on those sleepy mornings and decides to take on his enemies as Spiderman!
Spider-Man has an uncanny knack for spinning webs and sticking to walls and you can see him as never before in our ultimate list of best fanfictions.
What is Spiderman Fanfiction?
Spiderman fanfictions are stories featuring Spiderman as the main character. These new and original Spiderman stories are written by fans of Spiderman and are a way of expressing their own creative side. Fanfiction is a kind of self-publishing that is written for fun and not for profit.
Examples of common fanfictions include wishing that some character was real or exploring an alternate universe where characters have different personalities, skills, careers etc.
Why Read Spiderman Fanfics?
Spiderman is both a superhero and a regular person, so his day-to-day life is usually explored in great detail across various fanfictions. This makes it easier for people to connect with him because after all, we all have our own daily problems such as school, exams, sports etc!
Spiderman fanfictions usually explore any subject related to this superhero such as his friends, enemies, or love life. These stories could be a romance between him and Mary Jane Watson or Gwen Stacy, adventures with the rest of the Avengers team members or simply crime-fighting tips from your friendly neighborhood spiderman himself!
What to Expect from Spiderman Fanfiction?
First and foremost: action! Expect tons of web-slinging action as he fights off his enemies and saves those that need saving! You will find love triangles, heroes learning more about their super-abilities and villains trying to outwit each other.
Due to their very nature, fanfictions are often written for fun and many of them are far from perfect – you may come across spelling and grammar mistakes, but you can look past that if the story is immersive enough.
