How to join the tribe of Fanfiction writers?
Fanfiction is an interesting hobby tailor-made for those having a creative streak. It does not require you to be a writer of repute. Just playing around the already existing fictional characters is the whole idea of such compositions. Fanfiction requires a stretch of imagination to weave and extend stories of your favorite heroes without following the footsteps of the original author. You are most unlikely to face charges of plagiarism for these cool hobbies since fanfiction is not for formal publication.
The hobby of fanfiction can also be a group endeavor, whereby you create an amazing ‘thinking bank’ of hobby ideas. Participating and contributing to the tales of your hero is a hobby craft to show your undying admiration for the reel-life heroes.
The term ‘fanfiction’ has a curious origin. In the late 60s, it was first applied to amateurish sci-fi stories that were encouraged by professional writers through publications in science fiction magazines. These were conceived entirely as original works. But the ‘fanfic’ of today does not prioritize originality. ‘Pick up the cue from the existing fiction create your own tale’ seems to be the motto.
Harry Porter may be the latest craze of European fanfiction clubs, but there are others in the scene as well. The popular television series heroes, Star Trek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer are some of the other popular heroes. But talking of such most popular hobbies you cannot do without the Japanese variations. This type of writings called ‘doujinshi’ deal primarily with romantic and sexual relationships. Then there are also the Mary Sue fantasies that have the disguised entry of the author to change the course of events. The Battlestar Galactica category of fanfic centers on inter-planetary clashes in the Star War style.
Though fanfiction is not an illegal hobby you may face a few prohibitions from the copyright owners. But if you opt for parody fanfic you can have a greater freedom of operation. The original author usually does suffer a loss due to these creative hobbies. You may also find a host of studios patronizing fanfiction since it brings out the budding authors in you!
