Fanfiction 101!
by Coolchill214 Wed 24 Aug 2011, 7:58 pm
Well,here it is! The sequel to RolePlaying 101,Fanfiction 101! This is a must read for all you future authors!The order I'll explain information is by disecting a Fanfiction,starting with the most important thing,a Disclaimer!
Disclaimers are extremely important. If you are writing a Pearlshipping Fanfiction for example,and you modify the character's to your appeal,note that in a Disclaimer as so: "Disclaimer: Warning! Characters have been modified where as it fits the plot,and it may change your whole outlook on any characters located in this FanFiction!" If you involve information like spoilers,make sure to include that in a Disclaimer too,as well as if you have a somewhat innapropriate topic for younger ages,OR,mild/moderate/extreme cursing.
Have you ever looked at the cover of a book,and see a jumble of words followed by,"By: Author's Name Here"? Well,those jumble of words make up a Title! This can be enticing,teasing,or really make the reader laugh and become interested! Under the title is the description,where you should describe some of your story to give the reader a somewhat idea of the plot.
Make sure the beginning of your story,the introduction,prologue,etc., is interesting! You don't want a boring introduction,because it will generally bore the reader right away! It could trail off with a mystery,making the reader want to read on,or maybe,just contain information about the area/character the story revolves around!
Don't forget a good plot,that will keep the reader at the edge of his/her seat if that's what you want anyways! Save the boring stuff for the other sections on the forum! (A little CC humor :3 )
Make sure you make the character's attributes fitting the story! You don't want a boring know it all guy in an Action Adventure,and you don't want an adventurous hero with a dry blood-covered sword in a Romance/Comedy!
You can even add in a little visual representation too,like Animated sprites when certain Pokemon are called out as an example!
If you have any more questions or concerns on this topic,please PM me or legolosarrow with any of your questions!
