The answer, my friend, is not blowing in the wind*, but fan fiction!
Thousands of (amateur) authors have put their writing skills to use to let YOU read their stories about everyone's favorite characters - for free! A word of warning: it can be very addictive...
(Here´s some fun trivia for you: you know that Fifty Shades Trilogy that´s been taking the world by storm lately? It started out as Master of the Universe, a Twilight fanfic!)
Fan fiction about pretty much every book, tv-show or movie can be found here.
Another multi-fandom fanfic site can be found here.
I'm into Twilight-fanfiction myself, which can be found here, here and here.
Some personal Twilight fanfic favorites:
Bella Swan:Kidnapper
Upon your first foray into fan fiction, you may encounter some unfamiliar terminology:

AH: all-human, based on original stories which have supernatural beings, but the characters are portrayed as human.
Slash/fem-slash:
same-sex pairings.
