Fan fiction was a work of fiction that was written by a fan of a certain subject. In particular, it referred to unofficial works patterned after or utilizing characters, settings, and details from previously written popular works, such as books, movies, television programs, et cetera, written by someone who enjoyed the work in question.

In 2381, onboard the USS Cerritos, Ensign Beckett Mariner referred to the setup of fellow ensign Brad Boimler's holodeck program as bad fan fiction. (LD: "Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus")

Boimler as he learned that Tendi found his secret fan fiction

According to an account that was anything but canon, D'Vana Tendi told Beckett Mariner that the holographic program featuring Quark and Elim Garak was way cooler than Brad Boimler's "Kirk-Gorn friends-to-something-more fan fiction sims she found in his personal files. After hearing her say this, Boimler is surprised, and he spits out his drink. However, even this ended up being a holoprogram that was apparently malfunctioning. (VST: "Holograms All the Way Down")
