One Direction Fanfic Movie ‘After’ Gets a ScreenwriterĪnna Todd with husband Jordan in France while on a book tour. “One day no one was updating, so I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll write my own story.’ ” “I read fan fiction where Zayn was a vampire king, and where Niall was a cat that turned into a boy who Harry fell in love with,” remembers Todd. Soon she discovered the iPhone app Wattpad, an online publishing and reading service where many “imagine” contributors wrote longer, episodic tales. She spent a lot of time sharing those punk edits and reading “ imagines,” micro-fanfic stories told entirely in Instagram posts.

The origin of After lies in the many subcultures that often flare up within the huge 1D fan world. Nevertheless, although she is older than most One Direction fans, she admits, “I still feel the most at home in that fandom, even though some of the fans are really mean and stuff.”Ģ016 Grammys Fan Fiction: Taylor Swift, Kanye West & Album of the Year Redemption Other than pop acts 1D and Taylor Swift, her musical taste skews toward “indie music and soft, quiet songs” - like the heroine of After, Todd loves The Fray and Bon Iver. She has blond hair and speaks quickly and unguardedly. She’s wearing a new dress from Target that still has the security tag attached and Toms, the same shoes After’s heroine wears religiously. One Direction fandom online, that is to say, is a complex ecosystem. If a fan does get followed, she immediately becomes a celebrity inside the fandom - and often a target of threats and harassment. Thousands of followers tweet at Styles daily or even hourly, begging him to follow them. The band’s Twitter feed has more than 24 million followers Styles personally has 25 million. But those numbers don’t truly capture the fervency of fandom for Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and former bandmate Zayn Malik. 1 on the Billboard 200 the most recent, Four, has sold 988,000 copies, according to Nielsen Music. It’s the only group whose first four albums have debuted at No. One Direction is the most popular band in the world.
