One example of a type of fan fiction is the retelling. This is where the basic plot of the original work is retold from a different perspective. Maybe the story of 'Romeo and Juliet' is retold from the perspective of the Nurse. Another type is the darkfic. It takes the original story and adds darker elements, like a children's story being turned into a horror - themed fanfic. And then there's the parody type.
