Fanfiction Writers!

No matter what fandom you're from, fanfiction writing has its own troubles. Discuss your plans here! For fandom specific threads, check over in Fans and Critics

I'm all over this thread. I'm doing Legend of Zelda fic this year, based on the Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask mangas. :| I think it's trying to turn into a political mess on me instead of something awesome. :(

I wanted to wait until someone else posted in the thread so that I didn't kill the thread before it started.

I am going to take a whack at Kingdom Hearts 'fic again. And for the first time, I'm coming in with nothing but the vaguest of vague ideas.

GUYS, GUYS WE CAN WRITE "FANFICTION" IN OUR OTHER CATEGORY NOW. ISN'T THAT AWESOME!?

I'm excited to be writing fanfiction this year. Really, really excited. I get to revisit one of my all time favorite games, (Digital Devil Saga) and write one of my favorite pairings (Argilla/Jinana) and explore one of the best video game settings known to man. (JUNKYARD! :D)

I am so stoked to be writing it this year; I've been working on my outline, replaying the video game, and all that good stuff! It's going to be an awesome drama-action-romance ride this year. There will be cannibalism, and hindu symbolism, and angst, and angsty hindu cannibalism, and-

*incoherent babbling continues.*

Anyways, I'm excited to be writing with all you fine people!

I bet nobody else is doing ReBoot!

This one has been in the planning stages for um... eight years, give or take? And it's finally coming together, massively and splendidly. I may actually have a shot at lasting more than a week this year.

I'm doing Hetalia this year. Should be pretty exciting since the current news is filled with things I can use as potential backstory {like that Afghanistan allying with India thing.... going to have to re-do the map I've been working on ;-;}. This has been in the planning stage for almost 9 months now, and I can't wait to get started.

I sometimes write fanfiction during the lean months until November, so all I have to say is good luck, crazy fan ficcers!

I'm writing fanfiction for the first time since middle school. Hopefully, this one will be miles better. I'm not planning to write any original characters and everyone will stay as true to the way they were written as I can manage. It's going to be a prequel of sorts from the Harry Potter-verse. I only hope I can do Snape's character justice.

Hi guys!

I decided to write fanfiction this year, and not one, but two stories at once. Just in case I got bored with the first one. ;) The second plot came to me suddenly and was too tempting to ignore, so I'm sticking with it.

Anyway, I'm writing rps fanfiction, Super Junior (kpop). I hope at least someone knows what I'm talking about. /o\

I'm excited (and nervous, but mostly excited)! Nice to meet you all ^^

Still going for X-Files fanfiction (I really ought to drag my behind out of the 90s! I sound so old!), but along with that I also want to try some original fiction.

I might do a fanfic this year, not too sure yet, I've had ideas for some original fantasy stuff floating around. Right now though i have the HUGEST HP plot bunny storming through my brain that is demanding to be written, I'm actually putting research time into the bloody thing to see if I can make it work the way I want to.

I'm writing a YGO fanfic I've pretty much failed at finishing in the last few years. I got to 100k last year before it was even halfway done, oh man. Pairing is Thief King Bakura/Malik/Anzu and it's...hard to explain without diagrams. :D

Hi fellow fanfic writers!

Final Fantasy XI fanfic here for me this year, my 2nd FFXI fanfic NaNo. It's going to have some light crossover elements from World of Warcraft as well since the two games are surprisingly synergous.

I've decided to only do fanfic once every other year to try and placate my inner "Hey, shouldn't you be writing publishable material?" critic, but after last year's debacle writing noir, I'm grateful to be going back to doing something I know how the hell to do...

Also, SQUEE! at the YGO fanfic writers, I was into that fandom for many years.

I'm writing fanfiction (actually a crossover) for the first time ever. I was with very little time to do worldbuilding of my own this October, and I'm also very excited with my little idea.

Any advice from veteran fanfic-writers?

It's my first year doing NaNo, and since I've been writing fanfiction for a while now, I decided to go with that. :)

Since the last book in the trilogy isn't coming out till next August, I've decided to write a sequel to 'The Power of Six'.

Coming up with a title that fit the naming scheme of the series was hard, but I found it at last; 'The Rise of Nine'. 8D

I'm writing a Glee fanfiction. It's an AU set in a modern fantasy setting, which is based on the Cecilia Ahern novel There's No Place Like Here. It's not exactly a crossover because I'm not using any of Ahern's characters. It's a Klaine story, because that's what I write, but with a full cast too. I hate it when writers (all writers, not just fanfiction writers) forget that the MCs have other friends too.

I kind of feel like the black sheep of the fanfiction community here. There are tons of people writing Glee fanfic, but I've never found anyone on here. So ... speak up, if I'm not alone?

After an internal battle, resolved when I realized that my last two original novels weren't even in the same plane of reality as any hint of agents or editors, I have resigned myself to writing the Sailor Moon S alternate universe fic that has been chewing on my brain for a few months.

I have not yet figured out how to break the news to my parents.

I've never done fanfic for NaNo before, so I'm not sure how it'll differ from the original novel; I'd assume, though, that it constrains the insanity a bit. (For instance, if you're writing a Harry Potter prequel, it is bad form to hit Lily and James with a lorry.) Then again, I'm doing an AU, in which more or less anything goes, since there's no canon to say that my heroines must all be alive and intact at the finish line...

That seems to be my cue to blow up Tokyo.

For the second year I'm going with a Naruto Fanfic. I wanted to do an original this year but I just couldn't get all my research and outlining done in time. And even though there is still time I just don't want to force it. So! This year I'm going with a fanfic that I've been thinking about doing for a while. In fact it's so persistent that I haven't been able to work on any other fanfictions (including one that I've already been writing and have posted that isn't finished) and my originals. So I need to get this thing out of the way and what better time then NANOWRIMO!

*waves*!

Last year I did an original story-line, but, this year I'm going to be doing a 'Batman' fanfiction. ...and I say 'Batman', because, Batman isn't really in it that much, I guess it's more of a Batverse sort of thing. Main canon character is going to be Jason Todd because he needs more attention. 8I ....good attention....*kicks DC Reboot away*

Anyway, yeah. I'm still trying to figure some kinks out of the plot and crap, but, I have a half a month to finish up with that. I'll be finishing the updates on my novel info after I get home from classes tonight.

Anyone ELSE writing Bat-related things? I want to know!

Oh my WOW! There are other YuGiOh writers here!

Oh, I'm so happy...

Hi, everyone! I'm new to the fanfiction bandwagon, as this is my third NaNo and I've previously stuck to original fiction. Not that I'm new to fanfiction: I've been writing it since I was thirteen.

This year I'm writing a very, very long story for YuGiOh that I've been planning out (literally) since January (the outline eventually got so long I had to split it into four separate documents so I could read it with ease). I tend to stay on the sidelines for actual pairings, just out of personal preference (though a lot of my fandom friends are open and proud shippers, so nothing against pairing stories in the least), and focus almost strictly on friendship and family relationships. My story is crazy complicated, but it focused on Yami and Yuugi (wow, big surprise), along with a fairly major subplot of what happens when Pegasus decides, post-canon, to adopt.

Yeah. Non-YuGiOh fans are now twitching their eyes at me in bafflement... (heck, even fans might be XD).

So glad to see all of you here! Regardless of your fandom of choice, this is gonna be so much fun.

Happy writing!!

Lauren
