Taboos and tips for writing fan fiction
First, we must persevere. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info do not give up halfway, eunuch or unfinished. It's normal not to update as expected, but don't give up.
Second, don't be afraid of poor writing. For writing fan fiction, as long as the cause and effect of the matter are clearly described, the person who wrote is not a professional writer after all. Wouldn't really be a professional writer either.
Third, the plot of the original story can be abridged, but not omitted. For the original plot that is considered unimportant, it must be briefly described, and the past must not be omitted. It's a complete story, not a diary. At the very least, people who haven't seen the original work can roughly understand what happened in between.
Fourth, try to minimize the creation of irrelevant plots, and modify or extend the original storyline. Most readers who read fan fiction will not read the plot that the author painstakingly created himself. When they see such an unfamiliar chapter, most people will choose to skip it. It's okay to change the original plot, but don't write chapters that are completely unrelated to the side story. For example, when writing about the Hokage, try not to write a mission plot that is not in the original book, and many people choose to skip this kind of story when they encounter it.
Fifth, in addition to the protagonist and the trick, reduce the author's fictional characters. If there are many characters in a work that are not in the original story, it will be difficult for readers to accept and confuse the relationship between the characters in it. The necessary characters can be fictional, but try to keep them to single digits. The new fictional characters, as archetypal as possible, allow the reader to adapt as quickly as possible.
Sixth, withstand the abuse and stick to the principles. The psychological quality must be good, no matter how you write, you will be slapped bricks, abused, intimidated, and ridiculed...... The work is your own, and you must insist on your own creation. Let those who curse die.
Seventh, don't wear it indiscriminately. In one work, try not to mix in the characters of other works, and you can learn from the plots, skills, character archetypes, and so on of other works.
Eighth, the setting should be clear. For some unique settings, they should be explained in the story, not in the relevant documents. Many readers don't read the setting.
Ninth, YY is king, don't be afraid of criticism. Without YY, fan fiction doesn't make sense to write. It is because of YY that it can attract attention.
10. Don't go back. Unless there is a hard injury, don't go back and revise it. It is advisable to continue writing, and do not follow the advice of some readers to go back and change the plot.
Eleventh, what you like is the most important thing. If you create or adapt stories and characters that you don't like, fan fiction will lose its vitality.
Twelfth, don't be afraid to overturn the original setting and out of the bag. Many novels and anime are meant to constantly overturn their own settings, and a story without flaws is incomplete.
13. Chapters should be clear, and no titles or no chapters should be written. The number of words in the title should be between 4 and 15 words. If the chapters are not clear, many readers will forget the last time they saw them after the author has updated them.
14. The number of words in each chapter should be controlled at about 2,000-5,000 words, because too short or too long will affect the reading effect.
Fifteenth, try to explain unfamiliar terms and geography that appear in the novel.
