I wrote a whole slew of stories for a particular TV series, but it was strictly for a small group of fans. They enjoyed the stories, and also offered quite a bit of feedback. There are so many books and series which end and leave fans wanting more, and I think well-written fanfic fills that need. As an author, however, I also can see how it might be upsetting to have one's characters drastically changed/re-drawn, or to have someone else profit from all of the hard work done creating a particular setting, cast, and story line.Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-30920622716191943662012-10-27T01:43:28.514+01:002012-10-27T01:43:28.514+01:00I've never written fan fiction, but it's a...I've never written fan fiction, but it's awesome that so many people are motivated to write that might not have been otherwise. :)Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-53746933777285752232012-10-26T23:57:46.434+01:002012-10-26T23:57:46.434+01:00Intriguing post!

None of these ever made it to paper, but I would work out scripts night after night - even blocking out the actors on my imaginary stage. :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-85370383540062974352012-10-26T23:30:06.922+01:002012-10-26T23:30:06.922+01:00Wonderful post and congrats on the success of your...Wonderful post and congrats on the success of your book! I have never written fanfic, but my daughter loves to write it. She is in middle school and a huge Harry Potter nut. I think the genre is perfect for her to practice writing skills and hone her emerging craft, without having to create complex characters and complicated arcs. I have been meaning to give it a shot, myself. Perhaps you've inspired me to dabble in a little fanfic over the weekend.

That's why I don't really understand the connection between them either. But I think that fan fiction would be fun to write, even though I don't write it. It's a way for fans to write out their fantasies, so to speak. But it fan fiction starts to become less about the "fan" and more about the actual "author" when the author starts coming up with her own ideas (like Phillippa did) about who the characters are and what else is important to them.

Her room mate asked if I could write something combining both for her to read in the hospital. Hence Xena and Gabrielle and the wily thief, Autolycus, got abducted by Grey Aliens! Xena, of course, took over the flying saucer and landed it, explaining the origin of Mt. Vesuvius! LOL.Roland D.
