But in terms of Fan Fiction, there's no TV Series better to 'fanfictisize' than Smallville. Smallville has many great characters, and so many untied ends, so many worlds to account for - so much so that there are more than 13,000 titles within this category of fan fic over at www.fanfiction.net.
My favourite fan fic has gotta be pairings of Chloe and Olliver as well as crossovers of Chloe and Bruce Wayne.
A snapshot from Calie 15's livejournal - she's one of the Smallville fanfic authors I read and I love the rest of the writers in her posse eg smallvillefics, slytherinpunk et al.
Of late I've been meticulously downloading (more like copy-paste-save in my e-reader kinda thing) titles of fan fics for Chollie (read: Chloe x Oliver).
I'm still clueless about the terms these fan fic authors' use, eg AU and only recently discovered what 'xover' means. But that did not stop me from enjoying my reads.
The reason why fan fics are sooooooo cool is because while you've seen how the episodes evolved over TV, you can't help thinking such things shouldn't have taken place, this person shouldn't have done that, this couple are not right for each other (eg Lana and Lex), so the authors, just like you they're not happy with how things go and produce alternate happenings and imagined endings.
If you have never read a fan fic before, I really do suggest you try read Smallville. Simply type www.fanfiction.net, do not get perturbed by its humble looking landing page and click on TV Shows. The find from the alphabetically arranged titles, Smallville. You can even choose the characters you like and read fan fics made by people who also like the same characters.
For example my fave pair is Chloe and Oliver (authors love putting combined letters of the character name in their summary so that you have an idea who will end up with who eg Chlollie), yours could be Clark and Lois (Clois). There's even Clark and Lex (Chlex) - if you wanna go there, that is.
But more importantly, the reason I suggests that you start with Smallville is because there are many really good writers writing for this category. Once you've found the writers you love, click on their name links - you'll discover more of their stories, some for different categories and some of the authors also have their own page (blog, livejournal, website etc) that you can even find their own original work (not fan fic) which makes more stuff for you to read.
Another great category to start with is Harry Potter, but you need to choose Books instead of TV Shows in the main landing page to get to this section. Again, many many great fanfic authors and many many cool alternate stories here. Eat your heart out, Rowlings... JK!
