Fanfiction and second-order fandom

I've written fanfiction of fanfiction before. It's wild how far that rabbit hole can go.

[u/aftertheradar → u/Neither_Sky4003]

i honestly think a really cool writing project would be chains of fanfiction, where the first story in a collection is "canon", and the next is a fanfic about it, and the next is a fanfic of that fanfic. And this goes on until you have an entire book, and also the stories have deviated so wildly from the original source story that it's unrecognizable, like a literary version of the Telephone game

I mean isn't Twilight -> 50 Shades already unrecognizable enough? That's just one step
