The fan fiction that I will be speaking about: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11280990/1/Sleep-and-24-Hour-Supermarkets

This is a fan fiction about the Avengers and really what what happens during their free time. It is a “cute” fan fiction but it feels kind of useless. For one thing, the Avengers are not known to spend much time together outside of conflict. At the end of each film, most of them go their separate ways back home. Other than say, Captain America who lives and breathes the battle every day (through training or whatever else). But Iron Man and Thor, they go back to their homes and have their own adventures outside of the Avengers. The Avengers are supposed to exist to battle, something that Tony Stark very much so believes in. To believe that they would all get together to go grocery shopping instead of protecting is silly. Although, it could be during a time of peace. The story is very harmless but kinda of feels like it doesn’t need to exist. The author says that this could possibly be an alternate universe story or set in canon, but either way it is not very important. I feel as if these kind of “silly/harmless/unimportant” fan fictions fit in the same category of the sexual fan fictions. They are both not to be taken very seriously and are simply odd for any non fan fiction reader like myself. I feel as if these are an acquired taste, and for those that do enjoy them, they are tons of fun. Otherwise, the experience of reading one is lukewarm. Fantastic fan fictions do exist, and those tend to be the ones that take themselves seriously.
