      However, no other site I've seen boasts as much bandfic as Fanfiction. net. The Musical Groups section contained 140 different singers and bands, from oldies (Beatles) to rap-metal (Korn, System of a Down) to rap (Li'l Bow Wow, Sisquo[sic]) and pop (Britney, N'Sync, Aaron Carter) with many more uncategorized artists listed under Miscellaneous.
