Fanfiction Club
So I thought it might be fun for us fanfic writers to have a "club" of sorts I guess(?) We could do writing challenges and talk about characters and how we write for them. What do y'all think?
"Let me get this straight. I bet all those non-friends of yours try to embarrass you about your love for that stuff, right? So, you almost feel like you have to hide your treasures away and can only take them out in secret on rainy days when your mom goes to the store to get more liver and nobody is around to berate your sensitive spirit. Is that what you’re saying?" -Jay Smouse

Ooh, that could be fun! Like, share prompts and discuss characterizations and things like that.
it's not about 'deserve'. it's about what you believe. and i believe in love
Good idea! The more fanfiction the better.
Mine of course will mostly be about Jason and Connie.
I was stuck for awhile but hopefully that won't happen as much anymore. Discussing fanfic can help.
I hadn't been writing for awhile, but I did the last few days -- just had to steal the time I use for original fiction, which I may have to do in the future since writing fanfic on weekends hasn't really worked out lately.
It was so fun to write my latest chapter, I don't want to wait so long before writing the next.

I would love to join and contribute ideas for things we could do in the club. (Even though they won't be published on fanfiction.net for months, I do write fanfictions in my spare time. Mine are mostly about the 60's Batman show, though)

All right! Glad you guys are interested? Does anyone have any ideas for a challenge we could do?

Perhaps every Valentines Day we have a contest to write about our favourite Odyssey ship, or we could have a challenge to write an Odyssey fanfic in which we are characters?

Yeah! That might be fun! We could start with the "writing ourselves into Odyssey" one first! Anyone who wants to can participate and the deadline is one week from today! The 18th.

Can it be a one-shot or does it have to be a certain number of chapters?

I think either one is fine! (It'd probably be easier if it were shorter though since we don't have much time.)

Ok it took awhile, and it's not completely done. If you want to read more, then I can finish it, but I kind of put it off. A lot. It was a fun exercise though. It was interesting because it forced me to think about how I would act if I had experienced a different life. Taking that into consideration, know that this isn't how I would act normally, but like I said I think it's probably how I would have acted if I had gone through different stuff. (Sorry to write about the Meltsnets again! I literally wrote down like 20 names of families that I wanted the story to revolve around and that's the family I drew. So. Yeah.) Hope you enjoy it!

So did this club just like die or what?
And I'm not joining but I assume that everyone else had life hit them in the head?
Edit again: Actually I will join if we talk about ideas and such instead of just doing writing challenges because I don't have much time to actually write fanfiction but I have plenty of ideas, always! And I like to talk about the characters and how we see them in our fanfictions!

I'd love to join! Whether have any ideas or projects, or we're just here to encourage, perhaps challenge each other to write!

OK how about we have joined since "would love to join" doesn't officially make you do anything. OK. Who do you write about, GJFH?GJFH wrote:I'd love to join! Whether have any ideas or projects, or we're just here to encourage, perhaps challenge each other to write!
Yes, ideas, talking about the characters, challenges, encouragement is all good!

Yes we have joined. Let's get the ball rolling! Ameraka, I think you and I have two different views on who Jason is. I normally have him somewhere to be the headstrong, hulking, sometimes ridiculous person who usually manages to land on his feet.Ameraka wrote:Yes, ideas, talking about the characters, challenges, encouragement is all good!

Well I believe he's headstrong--hulking and ridiculous I don't know about. He's impulsive, often acts before he thinks. A lot of what I have written is based on of the Labyrinth--which changed him in some ways, and what happened to him in Fallout (my fanfiction), which gave him more inner pain and vulnerability. So it is my fanfiction version of him, in which the events post-Labyrinth diverged a bit, that I'm writing about. Going through so many harrowing horrible things would deeply effect someone. And the journey's still going, and he is adapting to those new circumstances, although he's obviously not changed to a totally different person, he still has impulsiveness and adventurousness and courage that he always has.

Yeah I have quite a few unpublished fanfictions, and in those I play up the fact that every idea Jason has- Jack thinks it's a bad one. For my own purposes, you know, I play that up. For my next fanfiction project I am really going to try and write in everyone's character more.
I'm happy to write about whomever. Up until this point, I've written only about Jason, though I'm currently working on, and trying not to be a perfectionist with a story on Richard Maxwell. It's drawing near to an end now.Kungfunaomi wrote:OK how about we have joined since "would love to join" doesn't officially make you do anything. OK.

After that, I want to write more regularly, even if I'm only writing one shots.
Yes! I do this as well, and there's enough evidence to support this. I always imagined that there were times where Jason spent more time with Jack when Whit was off traveling.Kungfunaomi wrote:Yeah I have quite a few unpublished fanfictions, and in those I play up the fact that every idea Jason has- Jack thinks it's a bad one.

He probably was witness to all the hair raising stunts and impulsive decisions Jason made that reminded him of his friend.

So where can I read said fanfictions? Are they unpublished?GJFH wrote:I'm happy to write about whomever. Up until this point, I've written only about Jason, though I'm currently working on, and trying not to be a perfectionist with a story on Richard Maxwell. It's drawing near to an end now.

Also, I need help making a decision about a fanfiction I am currently brainstorming.

Haha, speaking of unpublished fanfics, I have over 300 notes on my phone. All are fanfics. I'm starting to write more on my computer, but even on there I've got a lot of unpublished work.
