Young Writers Society

Please use this thread for discussing Event 1: Fanfiction Antics.

Questions, comments, and general silliness goes here!

Can two people work on the same story, but submit it as a single submission? Or would that mess up the whole grading and awards system?

As far as that goes, I'm not really comfortable with two people who are not on a team posting something together.

It would just make the judging a little more difficult.

Well, we are on the same team, but I agree, the judging would be weird.

Are we re-writing previous canon only, or can we write future canon and fix how something happened in the past? (I.E. a character died in the past, and it looks like they can't be saved in the future with how the story line is going. But you re-write things to make the character be revived in said future.)

@AEChronicle : The team would be easy, because I would just give the points to the team if they made top three.

But I wouldn't know how to distribute them if two people just got together and submitted.

But, since you are on the same team, I say go for it!

@SheaKay : I think at some point I said go crazy, and I meant it. There is no limitations to what you can write about, be it past, present, or future cannon.

An example of what you are describing would be kind of like when one of my favorite comic book characters died and still hasn't been revived (It's the X-Men, no one ever really dies!). But in my fanfiction novel that I am finishing he's going to come back.

I'm totally game with that, and anything else that you throw at me. The only real requirements are that it be a fanfiction short story.

Okay, fantastic! Danke for answering. Because now I can write in my characters the way they *should* be written. *dances*

Hey all, just a quick note, but you can only post for yourself, although you can certainly seek help from others.

Thanks @Nate! I wasn't sure how to answer that one.

I was just wondering. Do I publish the work and post a link or post the entire text into the main thread as a reply? Could you clarify that?

I personally think you have the wrong idea about fan fiction :I I'll see what I can do.

Where would you like us to post our story?

In the Event Topic, as an answer to both @lakegirls and @ZLYF. Just post it as a reply.

The entries are pretty interesting so far! I like how with even just 3 submitted at this point, they run the gamut from Harry Potter to Pride and Prejudice and even to Newsies.

Anyone have any favorites?

Edit

In the midst of writing this, a fourth for Game of Thrones was posted!

Fanfiction.... hmmm.

Just a question, is there any guidelines or restrictions, such as content, rating violence ect since we are posting it in a thread rather than as a work?
