Fan Fiction Writing 101

It’s been a while since I’ve done an article on fiction writing. I’ve been thinking about doing one for a while now. So, let’s get started!



What is fan fiction writing?

Fan fiction is writing based on a fictional character or characters from a book, television show, movie, or video game. The writer of the fan fiction may not even know who the original creator is. It could be a well known character, or it could be someone you’ve never heard of. The point is that it is still fiction, and is based on something that is already fictional.

There are many different genres in which fan fiction can be written. Some examples include:

-Fantasy – Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, etc.

-Sci Fi – Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc.

-Superhero – Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc.

-Fairy Tales – Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, etc.

-Literature – Pride and Prejudice, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, etc.

-Romance – Twilight, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, etc.

-Horror – Resident Evil, Saw, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc.

-Humor – Monty Python, Family Guy, South Park, etc.

-Slice of Life – One Direction, The Vampire Diaries, etc.

-Parody – Spongebob Squarepants, The Simpsons, etc.

-Pets – Lassie, Scooby Doo, etc.

-Real Life – Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, etc.

-Anime – Naruto, Bleach, etc.

-Comic Books – Superman, Batman, X-Men, etc.

-Movies – Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, etc.

-Video Games – Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft, etc.

-TV Shows – Lost, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, etc.

So, how do you go about writing your own fan fiction?

The first thing to do is find a good place to write your story. You can do this by visiting Fan Fiction sites online, or by visiting a bookstore. Once you have found a site to write your story, you will need to sign up for a free account. This is important because you will need a place to post your work. After signing up, you will need to create a username and password. Now, you’re ready to start writing!

There are a few things you should keep in mind when writing fan fiction. First, you should always make sure you follow the rules set out by the site you are using. Second, you should always check to see if there are any copyright issues with your story. Third, you should always make sure that your story does not contain any spoilers.

Now that you know what fan fiction is, and how to write it, you can go ahead and write your own stories!
