Anyone write any Odyssey fanfiction? What are your thoughts about it in general? Do you like to read it? If you write it, do you find it fun or hard or both?

I thought about it for ages and only started writing Odyssey stories last December. So far they feature Jason and are not exactly meant for 'younger listeners'.

I personally think there should be more fanfiction out there! So far, I've had a hard time finding it.

Any favorites among the ones you have read?

Well, I have a fan fiction spot on my blog about Jason and Mitch being secret agents. Also, not meant for younger listeners

I just read that! It was good. I want to know what happens next!

I LOVE fan fiction!! One of my favorites (That isn't by my friend, cuz she writes amazing stories) is a story about Bryan Dern having a heart attack. It's a very touching story.

I'd like to read that! What site is it on?

I love fanific too. It's so much fun having the power to do what you think should happen in the show and read what others do too.

Here it is Ameraka: http://www.odysseyscoop.com/chickensoup ... heroes.htm

Unfortunately, I've never been a big fan of fanfiction. I've written a Jones & Parker Detective mystery before, but I don't know where the file is. Otherwise I would share it with you.

That is a good story. Kinda sad, but good.

If you ever find it, or write one in the future, be sure to share it!

Yeah, It's very sad, but it shows an interesting side of Bryan Dern.

Yes, it does. I like him as a character. I wish he were on more.

Fan-fiction is one of those things in life that is just plain fun. It's such a nerdy way to fool around, express yourself, and most importantly, come to get to know the characters a bit better.
If you haven't seen it, Amerka, I have some fan fiction I'm working on in The Gallery. Oh, and I do enjoy your fan-fiction, it's very heartfelt.

I absolutely love fanfiction. Period. I really have to agree with PF here, it does give a chance to not only explore different angles to a character, but really explore your creativity in writing as well. Characters you figured could only be one demension, could be given an entirely new direction all thanks to your perspective. Plus, it gives you a chance to be in the writers seat. If you were writing AIO, what would YOU do? You really get to see what your imagination can do.

I've written some, and I'm currently in the middle of one, so it's been fun. =)

I've written one based on a dream I had. It's on my Odyssey website: www.aioupsandspecs.weebly.com. Tell me what you think!

I liked it. Though it was rather stressful; I breathed a sigh of relief when it ended how it did. Connie seemed rather out of character, but it made sense in the end. How much of it was from the dream?

BTW, I wish I had more Odyssey dreams. I had one, that I (vaguely) remember...something with Jason running around, doing something (wish I remembered more

I have written a sorta fan fiction short story... I might post it at some points

Ooh! The more the better.

Here's a link to the gallery where I posted my fan fiction

Ashley, that was a fun read. Your attention to grammar refreshes the picky writer's soul, and the humor just jumps out at you and makes you chortle. And a crush between Connie and Jason's kids! Awww-awww. I must also congratulate you on your excellent use of beats and attributes.
A few critiques and questions though. Are you just putting your idea of the characters? Having fun with them? Or were you trying to be accurate to their actual personalities? Right from the beginning, the characters act differently than they would in real life. Whit wouldn't "splutter" at Connie's walking in with Jeff. Certainly not before he really knew what was going on. He exhibited far less self control than is normal for him in that scene. Especially when he asks, "When's the wedding?" like a gossipy highschool girl. He has no idea how long Jeff and Connie have been together or if they even have marriage in sight, and then he just comes out and asks that awkward question? And Connie wouldn't just answer if someone acted like that, she'd giggle all over herself and then be a bit mad.
So, are you just fooling around with the characters? Because if they're not meant to be their real-selves but instead your reinterpretation of them, which can be quite fun, you did excell-lently. But if not, you might want to polish things up a bit.
In any case, this is impressive work. Remarkably entertaining, and daringly dark.

Hahaha wow! Glad you liked it. Everything was from the dream, except the part where Whit watches John and Joel while Connie is at the hospital and the part where they get there and Eugene and Katrina are there. And of course all the talking is made-up, except where Whit says "I told you so". I'll never forget that. And I should mention that this was a TV episode, not a radio

I was just having fun with them. And I was just writing a script for what really happened in my dream, so they wouldn't have acted like that in real Odyssey. Yeah, I know I did Whit a little differently, but hey, it was his dream!
