199 Free Dark, High, Science and Urban Fantasy Web Fiction

Web fiction refers to written works of fiction that are only or largely available on the Internet. A common type of web fiction is the web serial. The phrase is derived from old serial stories that were originally published in newspapers and magazines on a regular basis. Unlike most modern works, web fiction is rarely published in its entirety. Instead, it is published in installments or chapters as they are completed on the Internet. The web serial form dominates in the category of fan fiction, as writing a serial takes less specialized software and often less time than an ebook.

The highly popular “The Spot” (1995–1997), a tale conveyed through characters’ journal entries and interactivity with its audience, is an example of web-based fiction dating back to the early days of the World Wide Web. The Spot spawned many similar sites, including Ferndale and East Village, although none of them were as successful or lasted as long as The Spot. The majority of these early businesses have since vanished.

Web fiction has grown in popularity since 2008. As a result, more fans of web serials have decided to make their own, spreading the form even farther and rapidly increasing the number of serious, original works. Some serials make use of various media types to offer features that aren’t possible in traditional publications, such as clickable maps, pop-up character profiles, tag sorting, artwork, and video. On the serial’s website, supplementary information is frequently available, sometimes in the form of wikis that fans of the work help maintain.

There are numerous sub-genres within the fantasy genre, each with its own set of conventions and trends. With so many terminology floating around, it’s easy to get mixed up or ignore important sub-genres. Among them include High Fantasy / Epic Fantasy, Low Fantasy, Portal Fantasy, Urban Fantasy / Contemporary Fantasy, Paranormal / Paranormal Romance, Fantasy Romance / High Fantasy Romance, Young Adult Fantasy (YA Fantasy), Children’s Fantasy, Fairy Tale Retellings, Sword and Sorcery / Heroic Fantasy, Medieval Fantasy / Arthurian Fantasy, Historical Fantasy, Comic Fantasy, Science Fantasy, Grimdark Fantasy, Gothic Fantasy / Dark Fantasy and The New Weird.
