Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions. Rewriting my story as an original fic seems like a "when all else fails" kind of strategy, so I'll hold off on that one for the moment. Though I'm sure it would probably draw in more readers, as you suggest. Well, as I said, the scene in the movie isn't so much about survivors hooking up as it is about 2 people who figure that they'll die soon anyway, so why not go out with a bang? Point of fact, the woman actually does get killed shortly afterward. Of course, she survives in my fanfic. My fanfic initially extends the original scenario, so that the woman seduces the guy again before he can wander off on his own like he does in the movie. Then they get rescued. Afterwards, they meet a month later at the funeral of one of their group who didn't make it and even though things are very awkward between them, they decide to hook up and spend the night together to comfort one another. I wouldn't say it's romantic as there's a lot of guilt and grief between them and they don't really have much romantic chemistry, but plenty of sexual chemistry. She's basically just using the guy as a distraction and he's pretty much wrapped around her finger because she's so freaking hot. He's at war with himself a lot in that regard, but ultimately he winds up fucking her. It gets complicated in other ways, too, because the dead friend was the girl that the guy was really in love with, so he feels guilty about having sex the night after her funeral, and unbeknownst to the man, the woman is pregnant from their earlier hook-up and she's debating with herself whether she should go through with it or get an abortion.

Does anybody have any advice on how to attract readers to fanfics from media they mightn't be familiar with,or perhaps mightn't be big fans of? In particular, I'm interested in advice on how to attract readers to a story from a lesser-know horror movie. I'm kind of surprised that there doesn't seem to be a niche for smut fanfics based on horror movies. While I admit that there's a lot of crap that comes out in the horror genre, there's also a convention of packing those movies with hot babes who often get to flaunt their goods in wild, pointless sex scenes. True, the fatalities usually kill the mood, but I can't believe that there isn't a whole subdomain of erotic fanfic that takes the essence of just these hot scenes and runs with them. I mean half the time, horror movie ladies are wet dreams come to life. I've been writing a fanfic based off a horror movie that isn't very well known and that a lot of people who've seen it, myself included, don't think was very good. But it does have one incredibly hot scene where this super-sexy woman (Cerina Vincent, who you might remember as the naked girl from "Not Another Teen Movie") just gives up all hope and basically throws herself at some random guy because she figures they might as well go out happy. Maybe I'm weird, but even buried in a B-grade, 2-star horror movie, I just found that so hot; one of those girls who's pretty much out of everybody's league just pouncing on you, coming on so strong that you don't know if you'll be able to keep up. I can testify that you don't need to like the movie to like that scenario, so I took that one scenario and tried to write about it. I tend to think that my fanfiction is actually more about that kind of scenario than the actual movie. It's more about a guy who finds himself being seduced and used by the kind of woman who would normally be way out of his league, except she's desperate and frightened and she needs him to make her feel better. And I just wish I could advertize it more as an extension of that kind of concept than as an extension of the movie, because I think I'd attract more readers that way.

thanks

Can you please create a "Cabin Fever" category in the Movies section? I have a story ready for upload. I just need the category set up.
