The Fanfiction to Published Romance Novel Pipeline

[@maxwellversed]

The fact that I read a pewdiepie version of 50 shades as a kid when 50 shades itself was twilight 😭 the rabbit hole goes so deep

[@poobd]

i JUST dicovered that one book was a Reylo fic, i was LOSING MY MIND cause I've seen that book EVERYWHERE! Looking at the cover, its so obvious that its Rey and Kylo fhdgdgah

[@mark-breen]

I heard that in the most recent (fourth???) After movie there’s a joke about the Hot Boy being played in a movie by Harry Styles and I think that was the moment when I thought “Oh shit it’s becoming self-referential that it’s fanfic, the circle has truly closed.”

[@randymoon]

omg i didn’t know that. that’s crazy lol

[@WyattWentWacko]

Wait, could you consider Veggietales as Biblical fan fiction?

[@randymoon]

honestly yeah

[@icarusquack]

new randy moon vid yippee

[@ExStepsister]

Better than fortnite and cola

[@joharakiri]

Another great watch 😊 Always makes my day when I get a notification that you uploaded a new video. Also don't be shy, plug your own fanfic 😁

[@infinitecurlie]

10:21 Thaaaaat's what gets me is that a lot of these fanfic to published books are poorly written, a plot that doesn't make sense, and if we look at....Romantasy (SJM, Fourth Wing, etc) it's even worse when looking at world-building and etc. (idk if things by SJM or Fourth Wing were fanfic but I wouldn't be surprised because IMO they read just like bad fanfiction). And yet they're so popular. I don't get it. (I should be happy people are reading. But I wish they'd read like anything else).

[@SammyMV12]

oh boy a randy moon video

[@voidstxtion]

i like your vibe, and your voice is really soothing! keep doing what your doing :)

[@Rosiebud82]

I have unintentionally bought rylo fanfiction and by proxy Adam driver fanfiction and not realizing it until halfway through. I've also coincidentally bought bts fanfiction. And from my knowledge, they are all "original" ideas and not posted on AO3 first. They definitely read like fanfics

[@Rosiebud82]

The BTS fanfic is called Once Upon a KProm. You realize it halfway through when the Arthur mentions real kdramas groups but not BTS and then in the acknowledgements mentions RM and BTS alot

[@yerpalkal]

Nice vid! Time to give myself fanfic brainrot!

[@sconesandjam]

Really good video, Randy! I wonder when the Stormpilot fandom will get their opportunity to dominate the best sellers list. As an aside is that as much as I'm happy for authors to break out, I shall forever be disappointed at certain members of the Reylo fandom's horrible treatment of John Boyega.

[@maevem316]

I feel like the straight fanfics are much more likely to get big, although I *have* seen some (at least inspired by) stormpilot books going around 🤔

[@BsideArchive]

Another banger video. The last few seconds made me do a spit take lol

[@maeve184]

Oh? Oh... good video, moon

[@hellokittysglock]

“ i had twitter mutuals who talked about it like it was war and peace “ 😭😭😭

[@lilypadqueen]

randy moon video without significant Wish shenanigans going on in the background challenge (impossible mode)

[@randymoon]

there were even more shenanigans that i edited out

[@haroldflower8589]

my face when new randy moon video -> 😀 (i chose a happy face because i enjoy randy moon videos)

[@prod.fullright8319]

Sent rhis to my girlfriend, she loved the video. Feel like im on the ground floor of the next big youtuber. Not a personal fan of this type of vid, but good quality video!!! :) just wanna say im one of the first subs. BAKA 🤩🤩🤩🤩 im charlie

[@eldenbeast]

I dont know why you are the way you are charlie. Either way, he did put me on to a groundbreaking hit, mama loves her fanfics. Almost as much as her commentary videos 10/10

[@1Fresh_Water]

I'm just here to say one of the best fanfics I've ever read also has some of the best prose I've read, and that's Resmiranda's Inuyasha fanction: Tales from the House of the Moon. It honestly blows Fourth Wing out of the water, and I'm really at a loss for why these books are so popular when the writing is worse than a lot of fics I've stumbled across online. I feel at this point I'd rather read books with no sex in them, and then later if I'm feeling spicy, look up some one-shots for it on A03 lmao.

[@giangeegibb]

Great video, this was so interesting!

[@Zerousername-0]

I love your vids :]

[@futureted4265]

the kurt vonnegut disrespect is insane ..

[@nightfire_CSGO]

Kurt Vonnegut holds up come on now

[@moMothman99]

I cant believe I watched the second After movie in cinema without knowing it was a Harry Styles fanfic...

[@GhostofaSiren]

And here I am writing original stuff, hoping to build a platform through wattpad, and nothing. 😛

[@bellejameson1084]

We are already seeing new fanfic authors trying to paywall their work. Which, have fun with that suit, but seriously.

[@danielharrington5690]

Dude youre a 10 out of 10❤

[@equiuszahhak]

My favorite fanfic to book is the locked tomb series

[@rookwind]

old video by now BUT the 'why are a lot of these books published reylo fanfics' i think can stem from something i learned while watching a withcindy video on an author who was racefaking (long story). turns out a lot, and i mean a Lot, of these recentish authors who are taking booktok by storm are apart of old reylo fanfic discord servers and groups. they talk about knowing each other from old twitter group dms and such. they all started by beta-ing each others fics and gathered a community who would then help each other market their book concepts + edit and give critique pretty regularly. theres a big "in" group where they come up with hashtags and get each other in with agents

[@songmaster74]

RANDDDYYY MOOOOOOOOOON : DDDDDDDDDD

[@mackarts6496]

i just found your youtube today and i love it! do you have a goodreads?

Why my girl Kate bush here

[@dhampyr9214]

i need ur shirt...

[@pronoydutta614]

I'm sure fan fiction can be a valid means of expression but y'all aren't trying to defend tijuana bibles by that logic. I hope more people just graduate to writing straight up fiction 'cause that argument doesn't hold up all the time.

[@sobertillnoon]

Olive sucks.

[@seyimsi]

Fan fiction goes a looooong way. Bible is Jesus' and Jews fanfic. And Quran is a fanfic of all of those
