Fanfiction Writing

Has anyone ever told you that writing Fanfiction was a waste of time because there's no profit? Well, I'm going to tell you that they're wrong and they will always be wrong. While writing fanfiction does not get you money, it does help you develop your writing skills a lot. Thanks to the vast audience who read fanfictions and the many authors who write it, you are given a wide variety of views for your work as well as constructive criticism. These are the things that every author needs to become good. Why? Well, did you ever want to have some one read your story and tell you honestly how to fix it or make it better? Dad and Mom don't always pose a great seat in this category since they don't want to hurt your feelings. But say that there's a vast amount of people who don't know you and share your interests and you'll never be forced to meet face to face? Well, while they may say some things that can be hurtful, that's the best kind of audience for honest reviews.

Advice that's raw and critical will help you develop an understanding to what different people write and how to develop your characters in so many ways you never thought of. You'll soon discover the vast tunnels of excitement that comes with being an author. Much like actors, authors have to get inside their characters to be able to project them in the perfect way. Sounds hard, but with plenty of reading you'll find yourself becoming surprisingly good. In my own advice, I say that reading fanfictions is the best way to help you understand what's good and bad writing and the differences to watch for in your own works. In a published and edited book you don't get to see the ways the author brushed up because you never saw the rough draft. But in reading fanfictions, you'll come across badly developed stories as well as ones that should hit the shelf with their greatness.

The main point of an author is to get their own works published, read and to get some sort of income for the work, right? Right! But always remember that practice makes perfect and when you're writing in an already formed universe, but creating a cool story, you're already getting closer to that ultimate goal. You see, a fanfiction takes place in a world already read to be exploited and you can use that to your advantage. Like I said, you'll be making an awesome story for that fandom, but you'll also be practicing your skills! Isn't that great?!? YES!

But remember, while reading fanfictions can be fun, people sill post obscene tales and work that is simply offensive. Use the filters provided and always make sure that your own fanfiction works are correctly put under the right categories. You don't want to have to excuse yourself from the computer to regurgitate because of what some one posted.

Be careful and have fun.
