With 1,300 systems and countless stations, planets, outposts, ships, etc...there's an EXPANSE-ive amount of possibilities.
The Popularity of the show is only increasing as it moves from Scy-Fy to Amazon Prime. With more people watching the show, obviously more people will begin reading the books. Kind of like what happened with Game of Thrones/ASoIaF. Anyway, I'm surprised there's not a lot more fan-fiction out there. The series was originally meant to be a massive online RPG, so it's literally made for people to create their own stories from it. One could write stories that take place in any of the systems and in any point during the course of the series' events. If I had written some, I'd post it on here. And if the fan-fiction thing takes off, maybe a new Expanse Fan-Fiction subreddit could be in the cards.
Yeah I’d like to read about that too and I did the same thing! Binged the show then got the books and read through all of them..my gf was very happy to have me back when I finished book 8 haha
But I was surprised at how negative the first few comments were on fanfic.
Yeah I have! I’ve read everything out there that’s in the Expanse universe...except fanfic of course. It’s free on the Scy-Fy channel website I believe
Exactly. I was honestly surprised more people didn’t see it like that
Hahaha who’s she get romantic with? She’s married haha
Yeah I wanna see what drug dealing is like on Laconia. Or a day in the life of a Martian pilot in training. Or what it was like being on Mars when Earth almost attacked them years before the events of the main story. Not Amos and Alex getting hitched haha
Stuff that’s interesting within the Expanse universe that would never be in the books bc the details don’t add to the narrative
Why wouldn’t they want fans of the series engaging to create their own stories?
I do believe, based on the amount of novellas and short stories out there, that the writers intend to create other stories within the Expanse universe. Possibly future series in addition to the 9 books following the Rocinant

Exactly! Fan fiction isn’t meant to make $ or even have literary merit per se...it’s fans engaging with the universe y’all created and having fun with it. It’s one way to pass the time until book 9 or another short story/novella comes out. I know I can’t get enough of the Expanse universe...it’s far more exciting than our own.
