Enid Blyton Fan Fiction
This page provides an overview and quick links to fan-written short stories and novels on this site, based on Enid Blyton's characters and popular series. Note that these stories are written by various people and therefore chronologies may differ.
The Aeroplane of Adventure by David Marlor
Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann and Jack are all set for a holiday with their mother, Bill and Kiki the parrot in a remote part of England when a disaster changes their plans. The children and Kiki soon find themselves marooned in a remote part of the world. At first the children are concerned about how to survive and get home, but quickly realise that something is not right and that the safety of every nation on earth is at stake.
David says, "I'm also a fan of Malcolm Saville's Lone Pine Series, so in this novel there is a small throwaway homage to the Lone Piners – it appears in Chapter One and again in a smaller way in Chapter Two. Hope people enjoy the story and I would appreciate feedback. I've tried to be true to Enid Blyton's original characters and the tone and feel of the books. I have set the story in the same time period, but I also wanted to not be too sexist when dealing with the boys and girls. I've kept the concept of the the boys and Bill wanting to protect the girls as you see extensively in Enid Blyton stories, but also wrote Dinah and Lucy-Ann as a little more useful and independent – not much, just some. I also toned down Kiki a little, but she's still there and every bit a part of the adventure."
This story is presented as a Daily Serial, starting November 29th, 2009, and ending 27 days later on Christmas Day. Read The Aeroplane of Adventure.

The Five Find-Outers: They Made Their Mark by a "nonnimus" writer
Although the writer has chosen to remain nonnimus, he's clearly a lifelong Enid Blyton fan. This serial (expected to run to about ten chapters) takes place when the Find-Outers are in their twenties – Fatty has already left the police force and started his own detective agency. There's a sense of film noir to the writing style; you can almost hear the saxophone as if a dame has just walked into the room...

- Chapter Nine
The Rendezvous is crowded and in a side-room two ex-Find-Outers converse. Larry is being brought up to date with various aspects of the past that have been either forgotten, or hidden from young minds...
One-Off Stories by various writers
Not all FanFic stories are about the Five Find-Outers... although it sometimes seems that way! The following can be read independently of each other and are based on various popular Enid Blyton characters. Two of these stories are full length novels, one is a novella, and the rest are short stories. All have a distinct Blytonian flavor. Enjoy!
- The Mystery of the Stolen Books a full length novel by Keith Robinson
This has been loitering about the website for some time now. I wrote it with an optimistic view of seeing it published as a paperback novel, but to no avail. So it's published here instead, in its entirety. It's written to the same length as the original books, 43,000 words or so, and I've tried to retain the overall feel of the originals.
- Five Go Back to Kirrin Island a full length novel by Various Writers
Written by members of the Yahoo Blyton Group, this is a Round Robin story – that is, each chapter is written by a different person, with the overall plot being decided as the story moves along. It could go in any direction! This was an ongoing project started in January 2006 and finally finished in October of the same year (several months later than expected).
- The Mystery of the Burgled Bedroom by Keith Robinson
Solve the mystery yourself! This is a short story where the end was delayed so that readers could ponder the mystery before having the answer revealed. Readers were invited to write in with their solutions. Who committed the crime, and which clues prove it? The remaining portion of this story was published a week after the first part.
- Camping in the Lonely Land by Aishwarya Kane
This FanFic story is around 21,000 words long, about the same as many of Enid Blyton's shorter novels. The story follows the Famous Five pattern – a group of cousins/siblings falling into an adventure without meaning to. Although it doesn't feature actual Enid Blyton characters, it's definitely got a Blyton feel to it!
- Five Grow Very Old Together by Liz Filleul
If you're wondering what happened to the Famous Five when they finally grew up, well, look no further! This is a story about the original Five sharing another adventure while blowing off cobwebs and complaining about creaky joints. It's fitting that the Five find adventure in a retirement home. And if you're thinking that Timmy can't possibly still be alive after all these years, you'd be right – in this, he's Timmy IV.
- Party With The Fairies by Somita
This is from Somita, a young Enid Blyton fan. This story is not based on Enid Blyton characters, but is very well written and extremely Blytonesque in style, and will certainly appeal to young readers who like fantasy short stories about fairies.
- The Bold Little Anne and Dick by Chelsea Elizebeth
A cute story about a nasty magician... and a well-known brother and sister team, Anne and Dick. This will appeal to younger readers.
