When she first started writing her Harry Styles fan fiction After [1], Anna Todd couldn't possibly imagine her story would soon have over one million readers. Like many fans online, Todd was just writing fan fiction and hoping to reach other One Direction [2] aficionados. Instead, she became an internet sensation and, later, a published author [3] with a movie deal (and a sequel in the works [4]).

Not everyone writing fan fiction will share Todd's success, but that's OK. For most fans, writing fan fiction is a fun hobby that celebrates their favourite shows, books, and movies (or, in this case, bands). They will take someone else's characters or world and play around, creating new plots or exploring relationships the original work couldn't or wouldn't. Simply put, fan fictions are stories written by fans, for fans.

But with fan fiction exploding in popularly all across the internet, finding something truly special to read can be time consuming. With a sea of options, readers often feel lost and waste hours scouring websites like Fanfiction.net [5], Wattpad [6], Archive of Your Own [7], and even Tumblr [8].

So, if you finished After and need more, fear not. We did some research and found some popular stories that might satisfy your craving for bad-boy romances during college. (A word of warning, like After, these stories are for mature audiences).
