Who likes fanfiction? For those of you who dont know, fanfiction is fiction written by fans (now i feel stoooopid, its self-explanatory really!)

You can write about whateva u want, using established characters or making up your own. Go to fanfiction.net (dont forget the triple w, i'm just not allowed to put weblinks in! or at least, i couldnt last time i tried!) check out some of the stuff i wrote - my penname is FormerlyKnownAsPhoenix (as typed, no spaces, with those capital letters) also, go to fictionpress.net and search under the same penname for my original stuff, no basis on anything else!

if they write it well, otherwise it's crap

Well that is true for most literature...

Fanfiction can be a cool medium for fans of shows like Dr Who or X-Men. Depends on whose doing the writing and how good they really are.

I love it. It doesn't matter what. I love reading fanfics and generally will read all.

I only write music and direct films

Which films?

Well I read and write Fanfics for about anything that I have seen.

You write?

Yep I think I suck though

No I am sure all aspiring writers feel that way about their own stuff. I did when I joined my first band and still don't like sharing my words with others.

Oh...kuul

Yes in fact I posted some dreary lyrics a few days ago that were really awful.

it'll be okay. Nothing is aweful. it just needs work.

Yes but I already posted it and people might not get the right impression from reading it I think.

I actually wrote a Harry Potter fan novel once. I bet that surprises some people...

I knew you were a fellow writer but why Harry Potter in particular?

Because it's cool to write harry potter fanfics. I have found that some fanfic writers twist the characters that don't like to be what they do.

I never looked at it like that before. I used to write all sorts of Dr Who and Star Trek fanfics when I was a growing up.

I've written a screenplay and short story.

The screenplay was a cool idea and I hope to direct it someday, but it'll need loads of re-writing cos so far its sucks!

Short story sucks too!

I have never had enough ambition to write a full length novel only a series of shorter stories.

When I read the novels a story idea occured to me. It's how I end up doing most writing. There was an area I think was good to explore that I did not think was going to be.

Impressive. So what became of this fan novel?

Errr, I did some 120000 words before I decided I had made a couple of creative mistakes at some points that needed complicated rectifying. As it is only a fan piece and won;t ever get me anywhere it wasn't worth making a huge effort to do all that and I moved onto other things. Still, always nice to have something to come back to later.

Sounds cool. I tried writing my own science fiction serials when I was in high school and a bit after but always had creative blocks that kept me from finishing them.

Well, my main project has always been a fantasy job that I have started at least 15 times, once got as far as about 150000 words. It was a gift for my girlfriend. I MUST get back to it again, actually, and get a start I am happy with.

Other than the HP stuff through I am not a huge fan fiction writer.

GS and Yerssot will know about my stupendous job on the Star Wars fanfics I've been writing. I try to keep away from using already established characters, as it kinda limits your story (or so it seems to me). My characters that I create are better than if I tried to use an established character.

Captain Rex writes some ultra cool SW fanfics. Check out the link he has so generously provided in his last post. You shall not be disappointed.

I agree with Allor - nothing sucks, it just needs work!

Hey, Ush, can we have a fanfic part to the forum? It would be great, and I could get some hints on what to add before I publish on fanfic.net. As this IS a movie database, we could stick to movie fanfic alone.

Pwetty please? *bats eyelashes*

The very old RPing forum, in the days before I got here (long ago lost in time) was not unlike a fanfic area.

I shall bring it to the Council and see what they think. Would interested people state their interest here, please?

Thanks Ush!

No problem at all!

perhaps raz should then extend the max characters first?

Sir has a point.

That would be cool to have a fanfic section!

and perhaps some new posting system for the stories?

Why not?

what else can we ask?

I think it's a great idea about the fanfic section. I agree

We are all in agreement.

but it's not up to you to deceide

It is up to Ush

not at all
it's up to all the mods to make a decision

So what is the problem with us- the local citizens of this Forum -showing our interest in such a decision? We will support whatever the Mods decide of course. That goes without saying I thought.

possibly

Curious

marvelous

marvelous?

if you say so

I didn't. You did.

you agreed

Okay, I agreed. It's marvelous. ANything else?

A fan fic area? Could be interesting. I'll open one as long as the mods don't have a problem with it.

Well how do we know if the Mods do?

by asking

You'll know in the next couple of days.

Just get your stories ready...

Cool.

Ack! Now I have to copy and paste my stories over to there?!

Good God, I thought I was done posting the first story...

Oh well, more people will go to the fan fic section than they will to the Star Wars EU section. I'll get more people to praise my work.

I will be among them Captain!

As I will too.

We shall both be standing in line to read your marvellous stories and the day you make it big bro!

yep

Yup, all the signs look good for this one.

YEA*throws confetti*

{Like she said}

3...2...1...Happy...er...New Forum Section!

YEA

where is it then?

don't know

Woohoo!! Something I started got major interest! Yay me, yay me...

Ush, any idea how soon we can expect are new part to the forum?

it's because you put a spell on us!
*runs away, screaming*

Raz needs to make the change. I think we can expect him to do so in the next 24 hours but don't stake your life on that.

If he gets on at all.

http://www.fanfiction.net has a great variety/genres of fics. i'll go there all the time and send my own fanfic there. did i already mention this before? i'm getting old and need to make sure. sad thing is that i'm 17 and feel old. does any else?

Fan Fiction now open - here: http://forums.killermovies.com/f53/

Great news Raz.

Wooooohhhhooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Sadly, most of my fanfic is not moviebased...

So you'll just have to wait a bit until my muse comes back from holiday...

If you wanna read my stuff, go to the aforementioned www.fanfiction.net and search under FormerlyKnownAsPhoenix
