Fanfiction

Post Reply New Topic

What?! Do you have a link?

I was guilty of writing fan-fiction back in the day. But it was never of anything mainstream. I used to be hooked on old adventure games, and I was part of the fan communities for Monkey Island and Space Quest. I wrote a ton of short stories back then about both of those. Most of them have become lost over the last ten years, though a few of my Monkey Island ones are still floating around.

I still write fan-fiction in a way, but I do it in the form of cartoons and games. I even took a couple of my old Monkey Island stories and recreated them in fan-game form.

Go to Mugglenet.com, click on fanfiction, then do a title search for "The Fellowship of the Granger." It's kinda stupid, but then again most in the humor section are.

Speaking of crossovers, I can name several HP fanfics where [male character] somehow magically switches bodies with [female character]... but most of them are poorly done. I know one, though, where Harry, in Hermione's body, has to go out on a date with Hermione's secret lover, who is none other than... Draco Malfoy! but seriously, enough about that...

Not into slash fiction myself but I do like to read well-written fanfics and do also write some as well, which are on fanfiction.net

I got stories in DS9 and Greek Mythology sections.

And what are your favourite pairings?

In my case:
Harry Potter - Lucius/Draco, Arthur/Percy (I like reading about incest ), Voldemort/Luna
Sailor Moon - Zoisite/Kunzite
TNG - Data/Geordi
Ed, Edd, Eddy - Edds with each other, especially Double D
The Bible - Cain/Abel, Salomon/David, Jesus/Judas (beginning from my favourite)

I don't mind reading fanfiction, but finding a well written one is very hard to do. I have only written one fanfiction, and it was on Vampire Hunter D:Bloodlust

I think as is the case with everything that there are some really good fanfics out there just as well as there are some really bad ones.

(I've never had any trouble finding where the good ones are. The trouble is when someone starts something that you really get into and then they stop about half way through!)

Fanfiction is awesome. I found Harry Potter (Hogwarts) and Half-Life 2 fanfics cool.
Although it take ages for me to read I used to read my brother's stories & his friends.

A series known as ATS; Matrix fan fic.
They never finished it, instead they've gone to fiction writing at WibblyPress.net

Even though everyone has told me I'm a gifted writer, I find it much more difficult to write about my favorite characters than to draw them. That's why I usually stick to fanart. Although, I must say I'm tempted to do some of the writing prompts on LiveJournal, but I lack motivation.

yeah...a good story will get going...and then it's either weeks before it comes back....or never does.

I have a fictional writer called 'Mary Sue Phanfic' that I use to create imitations of paperback covers...

Lemons and Limes? (Isn't that an XTC album?...

It's a guilty pleasure. Never actually wrote any fanfic...but what I do write you couldn't read here...

...Part of the reason why I try to make a rule never to take more than a couple of weeks.

It generally works.

Terrible fan fiction is absolutely hilarious. I used to read the Livejournal marysues community.

I don't read many fanfics anymore, and in fact, I only read a few to begin with - it seems that a lot of fics don't stick with the spirit of the series that they're written for, and that kind of annoys me. Usually I can sense this within the first few paragraphs, and then I just leave.

I have read a lemon before...because I was lonely.

There was a Star Fox fanfic that I liked a few years back. The plot was basically that this government wanted to make peace with Lylat on the condition that the prince could marry Katt. This really pissed off Falco, who, after failing to convince her not to go through with it, drugged her and brought her on a "vacation" to this primitive planet where he ends up getting the Great Fox shot out of the sky and crashed into the middle of a jungle. Generally it had the right spirit to the series - maybe a little too serious and "terrestrial" at times. That, and this subplot about Krystal that seemed pretty out-of-place. I think the established characters were handled fairly well, but a lot of the author's characters seemed kind of redundant.

I've never written a full fanfic, but I have written outlines. I've got massive outlines for a Star Fox AU series which basically tries to tie up the series' wonky continuity and add a few twists, but otherwise deviates little. I just can't get the feel right - I want it to be coherent, but also tongue-in-cheek. The problem when I tried to write a story a few years ago was that I took myself too seriously. If I get the time, I'd still like to adapt the story as a movie script or a comic book series (it would be good practice, since I want to be involved in one of those fields).

When I was eleven I tried to write a Star Wars story set a hundred years in the future, but it wasn't that good and eventually I stopped.

When I was fourteen I tried writing an Indiana Jones fan-script once, but it was too contrived and I gave up. I also chose an artifact that a bunch of people have already written about (Excalibur).

I've tried several times to write up a pilot for my own Star Trek show, which would take place on a new USS Enterprise in the 25th century. I've never gotten past outlining the show's cast.

Right now, though, I'm working on an original story, and I haven't devoted much time to my fanfiction outlines, or read others' fanfics.

i do too! it took me ages to though because i thought it might slaughter Jane Austen's work, but I enjoy it now
