How to Succeed in Fan Fiction

 

Fan fiction has become a way of escape and provide an alternate take on famous or popular TV shows, movies and even boyband lives. It is a way for fans to live a reality they want to have and share the same with others that share the same passion with them. This is the reason a lot of people are writing fan fiction and sharing it online. But, a lot of fan fiction we may read on a fanfiction website can be terrible. They could be written in such a way that it can discourage people from reading. It is expected since most of the people writing fan fiction are indeed non-writers. However, there are people that are dedicated to write good fan fiction and have been able to do so. So, here are some fine tips a newbie can use in order to get some semblance of success online.

 

First of all, you need to read the finest fan fiction or books of fiction offline from http://fanfiction.io. Reading is a nice springboard to know the style and how to really expose the story well. Everything begins with a habit of reading the right kind of material. A person learns how to write by emulating other people who have been able to write well and established a name for themselves as good writers. It pays to know the general rules of grammar and spelling though. But you have word processors that can help you and tons of websites that can help check your grammar even on the fly.

 

Never give up on your story, ever. It is best to read and re-read your story and revise it as necessary. There is no such thing as a perfect first draft. Let a trusted person, or your teachers read what you have written. Be open to criticisms about your work and never be discouraged with the negatives. It will only make you a better writer.

 

Finally, find a good fan fiction website to submit your story. Try to read other stories that you find interesting and sort out the well written ones. You can find a lot of things in them that you can incorporate with your writing. This way you can have a better ability to write because you have the examples that you will be able to emulate as you make or carve a nice career out of making fan fiction for everyone to enjoy.
