Russians have a huge fantasy literature; its history as well the
history
of its fandoms has been documented at www.fandom.ru.
Fanfiction is not a very popular topic there though, so the only information
I was able to obtain so far concerns only two fandoms – of Vera Kamsha
and Olga Gromyko.
2001
First Kamsha book is printed (Temnaja Zvezda – Dark Star)
2002
Official Kamsha fan-site - www.kamsha.ru
Unofficial fan-site - http://olmer.ru.kamsha
First slash-fics by Kreidy and Taelle
2003
First Olga Gromyko books of Volha Rednaya cycle are published
2004
The first and the second books of Otbleski
Eterny cycle are published
(March and October)
May: the first slash-fic based on Eterna by Viorteya tor Deriul
October:a blog-community http://www.diary.ru/~kamsha/ is founded
November: the site http://offtop.slashfiction.ru
is opened: It is dedicated to various
"minor" slash-fandoms; but mostly to Kamsha.
Most fics based on Kamsha texts are either slash or gen, there
is no
het. Moreover, Kamsha is probably the only author who officially allowed
her fen to slash her characters.
