I concentrate more on writing more original stuff now than I do fanfiction, but even that's on hold due to writer's blocks. There are two stories I'm working on, but, I don't ever plan on putting them online since I would like to publish it someday. One is finished, but still not good enough for my standards since it's taking place in the late 90s. Someone is just telling the story, so the majority of this story is a flashback. I'm not sure if that'd actually interest anyone, though. It's a murder mystery. The other one, I have the plot planned, but, can't get it together. I have my characters set too, but, it's cliche to me, since it's fantasy and involves video games.
I have a lot of story ideas for original works, just can't seem to those ideas down on paper. There are some story ideas with original outlines that I wrote out, and still have, from at least 10 or more years ago.Cambion wrote: I like reading and writing fanfiction simply because the character and the plot is already developed and people can already relate to certain things and can easily visualize the characters. It helps a lot. I'll admit, this aspect makes fanfiction easier to write since the characters are already "established", so to speak. You already have an idea what the characters are like and have an idea as to how a character could possibly act in certain situations.Cambion wrote: I agree that writing fanfiction is little more than a harmless hobby. And it's really fun as well to put your favorite characters in a new and unique situation. Yeah, it is. When I used to write on a reg basis, I'd say between 1999 - 2002 is where I seemed to write the most, I had loads of fun. It was cool coming up with goofy scenarios for the characters.Ganondorfdude11 wrote: I prefer to think of it as something like "How would X character react in this situation?" That's pretty much how I see it. It's like that Digi-fic I mentioned earlier that I wrote years ago. If Koushirou would've never had that conversation with his parents, where they made it clear that they didn't see him as poison to their family's bloodline just because he wasn't really their son, how would he have turned out? I just ran with it and had fun writing a fic where he wanted to find out more about his adoption. Looking back now, the story idea wasn't a bad one, but, imo, it was badly written.
My very first fanfiction, before I knew what fanfiction was...way before, I was in Elementary School. I wrote a story about the Gummi Bears. It was very simplistic, though. Not much detail. That type of thing.8_bit_ZOMBIE wrote: I never said there was anything wrong with it. I just said I don't get it.
To each his own though. Lots of people don't get the stuff I'm into either. I see what you mean. Sorry for making the assumption that you found something wrong with it.
