A good writer always leaves a kernel of a new storyline at the end of the story. So it's natural to imagine what might have happened. Only rarely do stories written based on another author's characters and setting sell or gain any sort of acclaim. Wide Sargasso Sea is one. It is a sort of prequel to Jane Eyre. Several well-known SF authors wrote stories in the universe of Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy. I read a couple that were quite good. Fan fic is really more about paying tribute to a loved story or world, learning the craft or offering an alternate ending as in gaming. Some people are get the writing bug completely out of their system by writing one or two fan fics.

I learned to write fiction in the traditional way. I'd always thought I'd go into journalism or non-fiction writing, but after my first short story, I was hooked. My early pieces were pretty good, so I'm told. I really enjoy creating my own characters and settings and take care to keep them on track.

In a way I think first person is closer to your characters, since you ARE them. Third person is a bit further away, for my feeling.
Fanfiction is great way! Not only has it already got a complete set-up (characters and eviroment(sp?) are so hard to create at first), it also teaches one to keep in character and explore different writing styles on the way to discovering their own. Storylines in fanfiction are alot of fun, I think. I started out like that, but I kind of stopped writing lately... I should take it up again, I guess, but not enough time... No excuse, I know, but still.

+silence speaks the truth and it's soo LOUD+

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they dont like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you dont even know exists loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably wont get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.

13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.

15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Add this as a comment to ten of your friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Whoever breaks this chain letter will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years tag ur it!!!!! send this to 15 ppl in the next 143 min. and then press F6 and your crushes name will appear in big letters!! it works.... but if you break the chain.. you will be cursed w/ relationship problems

most people aren't sure of what they really want in life. I



received this



letter from a friend on the computer, did what it told me to, and



within a



week, everything I had wished came true!! Here's an exact copy,



this

really



works!!!!











*************************************************************







1. To yourself, say the name of the only



guy or girl you wanna be with 3



times!











*************************************************************











2. Think of something you wanna accomplish



within the next week and say it to your self

6



times!!











~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~































3. If you had 1 wish what would it be? say it to



yourself 9 times!!!








-----------------------------------------------------------------------















4. Think of something that you want to happen



between you and that 1special person and say



it to your self 12

times!!!












--------------------------------------------------------------------















5. Now, heres the hard part! Pick only 1 of these wishes and as



you scroll down focus and



concentrate on it and think on nothing



else but that wish.

Now make one last &final wish about that one wish

that you picked.







After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to 15 people,



and what



you wished for will come true within in one week!







u only get one chance!!!!! Now scroll down and think of your



crush!!!



























































Keep going

down



























Keep going







































Keep

going








































!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was



your last chance. Now pay very close attention this important



message!



Sorry but once read, must be sent. Yes, this is one of those kinda



chain



letters that everyone hates. This one has been going since 1863

and



if you



break this chain, you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing



these



stories.







First Example:



Take Barbra Wallace.. She was a pretty lucky girl,



up till she got this same chain letter. She had a crush on the same



kid



since kindergarden. when she got this mail she didn't pay any



attention to



it. She just thought, no big deal. And deleted it. The next day her



dad



got fired and her mom dies in a car crash. If she would have sent



the



letter none of that would have happened and her mom

would be alive.







Second Example:



Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average



nerd. Had glasses, was short and chubby, was in gifted. All the



signs of



your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51



people in



the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd



grade. The



next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for



him ever



since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to ask her out,



and of



course, she had been waiting to yes to that for years. They grew

up



and



married each other to live happily forever.







Third Example:



Now if you couldn't relate to the others, this'll



get ya hooked. Listen to this. A kid named Jordan Johnson was just



getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a quiet kid, not that



popular but



not a geek either. he was just normal. He saw he had mail from his



friend. It was this exact letter. Now Jordan Johnsen was a smart



kid and



he knew what could happen if he didnt pass it on. He simply pulled



a few



friends from his buddy list and sent it along. The next day,

about



that



same time, he got a phone call. It said he had won the lottery!



then his



dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him



Nintendo64 and



play station! His grandmother sent him a new computer, and his best



friend



gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and



Limp



Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was



goin' wild!



the next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have been



going out



ever since.







Now, you heard the stories. I know

which person i'd rather



be, but thats up to you. I wouldn't wanna end up like Barbra but



thats



only me. We all want what we cant have but now's ur chance to go



out with



that special somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you



send



this to-



1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love



life.....forever!!!!!



10 people- your crush will say they like you as a



friend......ONLY!!!!!



15 people- your crush will say they like you



20 people- your crush will ask you out!



25 people- your crush will kiss you!!



30 people - Your crush

will have sex with you



35 people or more- All of the above!!



Don't blow it, it's ur chance to shine! Have



everything u wanted, and more! Now, complaining cus u dont have any



friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything. It's simple, just go



in a



chat room, pick some names and send away! but here's the



catch.....you only

I haven't read any fan fiction.:/ But I think writing it would be a good way to develop as a writer.

Elmore Leonard, who wrote 'Get Shorty' (he was the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction) said he likes to trot out is characters and make them speak. Yes it is like acting, whether it's a first person character or third person. You have to get into your characters heads and be them.

It can be tricky, but when used correctly... It does give great insight and one can identify with the main character easier. Plus, they don't have to talk all the time, just thoughts are okay. It really depends on the way it's written and what kind of character or story it is... I tend to not like it in fanfiction, especially when the character is portrayed differently then I would want to.
First person is kind of easy when you're used to it too It's akin to acting, I think, it's all playing a role.

Thank you! You're the first person to mention the first person. I recall being told a long, long time ago that fiction writers should use this voice with caution. There are some limitations to it. The main one being that you can only describe what the character can see, hear, guess at, etc. You can't know what other characters are thinking. Nevertheless, I tend to write almost all of my stories in first person.
