It has been suggested that this article be merged into Alternative universe (fan fiction). (Discuss) Proposed since April 2008. |
Uberfic (short for Uber fanfic, UberXena, or simply Uber or Über) is a kind of alternative universe fan fiction in which characters or events are portrayed somewhat closely to original canon but usually in a different time period, many times featuring the ancestors, descendants or reincarnations of canon characters. The term originated in Xena: Warrior Princess fandom. This sort of story was used by the series itself, beginning with the second season episode "The Xena Scrolls".[1] A common trend in Xena fanfics was to write Uber stories in which the characters' analogues discover that they are soulmates.[2]
