Write FF?

Personally, I used to only read fan fiction to Harry Potter. That’s what I’m going to do to formulate my tips more like a good fan fiction about a story. However, if you want to write one on another, you can also transfer these approaches to it.

I think the most difficult thing when writing a fanfiction is to capture the original story and work with it. Many authors do not create their own idea in such a way that it inserts itself into the world and rather works against the template. If you don’t know what story/person a fanfiction was written, you wouldn’t recognize it. Here are some examples of what you should pay attention to:

• Capturing the characters: Many use the names of characters from books, etc. but do not catch the character of the figure. This is exactly what makes the person at the end. Even without the name, one must have an idea which character has just been installed.
• Keep to the rule: Most stories contain important basic rules. At Harry Potter, for example, it is part of the fact that dead people cannot get up again or that time travel logic from the third Harry Potter part. A good fanfiction doesn’t throw all these basic rules over the pile. With a Harry Potter fanfiction, you shouldn’t suddenly get dead people alive again.
• Change as much as necessary, but as little as possible: I find this rule important for two reasons. On the one hand, there is a huge snowball effect. When I change one thing from the original, it usually moves a huge change through the whole book. You can play exactly with it, but you also have to be careful that the changes do not fall on your feet. Furthermore, of course, parallels to the original help to recognize this in fan fiction. This does not mean that you write the template, but that you keep your schedule. The original act can be a marginal appearance in a fan fiction.
