Would this be illigal?
I had this idea for Fandoms (obsessions) of books. We make a website, and it would be a virtual world to be, which includes books/ shows like:
The Hunger Games
Divergent
Supernatural
Sherlock
The list goes on and on....
But my question is: would this be illigal, since I didn't write the books? I wouldn't plan on doing it for money. It would just be something for fun for all the fellow fangirls.

Your question is confusing.
You can't put the original material up, if that's what you are asking.
If you posted another person's fandom, then you probably wouldn't get caught, but that is also illegal, depending on how they created/published it. Unless you get their permission.
You can make a website for yourself and other people to post their own fandoms.

would only be illegal if you didn't acquire the right to redistribute the copyrighted content.
if you just got or bought them and then uploaded them, then it would be illegal and classed as copyright infringement or illegal distribution of copyrighted material.
