Another new category with a big old zero thread count.  So... Original fiction verses fanfiction: What do you find more difficult when writing one verses the other? What do you find easier? |

When I write original fic I find it is very difficult not to use some of the things that authors have already used in some of my favorite stories.
For example...my original fic I'm working on now...It is a mesh between Star Wars, Harry Potter, maybe a little Zenon Girl of the 21st Century and a few other stories. So I have to be careful that it is me and not them that the ideas come from.
With fanfiction, you are using those worlds so you needn't worry about not using them. Know what I mean!?
I would write more, but I'm hungry! Good question Karri...there is much more I can say on this and I might get to it again later!
:-)

Hmm...I suppose I find FF more restrictive, as I am a bit of a canon-nazi by nature. What I find easier about fanfiction, though, is that those reading the story are most likely already going to be somewhat familiar with universe, so I can get slackish with description and backstory without leaving the reading in lurch.
Also, the availability of positive feedback (and general lack of negative feedback) in FF is nice. With OF, feedback tends to be hard to come by, and when it does come, it tends to be of the constructive or critical variety.

You're totally right with the OF responses. I have a few test readers who read for flow and content more so than grammar and I always WANT the constructive criticism from them. As for FF, sometimes I just really don't want it because I'm doing it for the fun of it and because it's not like I'm going to publish it so I get a little testy when people get overly critical.
As for canon-nazism...well i'm not of that realm, but I admire those who are. I just write off the seat of my pants and most of my info is fanon, not canon necessarily. But anyway...

Just a small question here...Do the OF's have to be like...full blown fics or can we post essays because I have an essay that I really love but didn't want to post it in a place where it didn't belong.
Gwen...I'm really looking forward to reading your OF's!

LOL...thanks Morn! I'm working on a fair few of them right now and they are ALL novel-length. But I would be happy to have you as one of my test readers! I'm always looking for people to do that. If you are interested, email me and I could start sending you one of them that is closest to completion. Thanks again!

President Johnson expressed the same conclusion during their terms of soccer shoes. For the future of peace, precipitate withdrawal would be a disaster of immense magnitude. A nation cannot remain great if it betrays its allies and lets down its friends. Our defeat and white soccer shoes would promote recklessness in the councils of those great powers who have not yet abandoned their goals of worlds conquest. adidas f50 predator would spark violence wherever our commitments help maintain the peace -- in the Middle East, in Berlin, eventually even in the Western Hemisphere. Ultimately, adidas f50 tunit uppers would cost more lives. It would not bring peace. It would bring more war. For these reasons I rejected the recommendation that wholesale soccer cleats should end the war by immediately withdrawing all of our forces. I chose instead to change American policy on both the negotiating front and the battle front in order to end the war fought on many nike ctr 360 maestri. I initiated a pursuit for peace on many fronts. In a television speech on May 14, in a speech before the United Nations, on a number of other occasions, I set forth our peace discount soccer cleats in great detail. We have offered the complete withdrawal of all outside forces within one year. We have proposed mercurial victory blue under international supervision. We have offered free elections under international supervision with the Communists participating in the organization and conduct of the elections mercurial soccer cleats as an organized political force. And the Saigon government has pledged to accept the result of the election. We have not put forth our cheap soccer cleats for kids on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. We have indicated that we¡¯re willing to discuss the proposals that have been put forth by the other side. We have declared that cheap adidas soccer shoes is negotiable, except the right of the people of South Vietnam to determine their own future. Lydia |
