Jacob has sacrificed everything for Bella, including his friends and family. But one day, while wandering off alone in the woods, he comes across a lonely girl, sitting in a corner and weeping, who immediately attracts his attention. Once he approaches the girl, she tells him a story that changes his life forever.
Hey there, Twilight fans! Can’t connect to the story above, can you?
Well, here is what fan fiction is all about. You read a book, watch a movie, follow a TV show, all of which are fictional. You fall in love with them and keep daydreaming about them. And in the end, you end up creating your own story with the same characters. Fan fiction has been bubbling up to the brim today, and the internet is flooded with loads of these pieces. Not only are these exciting to read, but these give you an insight into how different an already popular story could have been. It is more than just fascinating to write fan fiction, because trust me, even you are not aware of what you are capable of creating.
Harry senses something wrong with Ginny’s behavior. As he walks towards her to settle things between them, his scar burns like fire. Ginny turns back, and as he gazes at her face, pressing his scar, she transforms into something that turns out to be Harry’s worst nightmare…
Just imagine how horrifying it would have been if Ginny had been a Death Eater, or Snape had been Harry’s biological father (laughs)! Imagine how beautiful it would have been if all the characters we so love had not died. Imagine Dumbledore being alive till the last page of the last book. All of us have fantasies. All of us have ideas. Why not put them into paper and surprise ourselves?
This brings me to another aspect of fan fiction – how far-fetched can your imagination be? Think of it this way. You admire a piece of fiction because its creator is perfect at his or her work. Had the author/writer not written it with such wonder, you would not be sitting in your room, glued to the pages or the screen. We sure can put in our own ideas, but we must make sure that what we write does not disrespect the creator. You can add a different angle to the mystery in one of the Sherlock Holmes stories, but you cannot use exaggeration to write about Watson’s sex life. You can write more extensively about Harry and Dumbledore’s friendship, but it would not be wise to develop a love relationship between the two. Adding your story is more like enhancing the original in a unique manner, but it is very important to know your rights. Make it more exciting, make it more amusing, but never make it gross.
Thousands of fan fiction pieces are already being written, and this number could increase if you add your stories to it. Your fantasies and imagination should never be wasted. When you write, put your heart into it. Let your ideas move people, let your words touch them. Love your favourite characters and let them see more exciting aspects of the world. Reading is awesome, but creating is bliss!
Holmes walks into the room with a candle in his hand, only to find Watson holding a knife from which blood dripped on the floor. Then, all of a sudden, he heard a scream from a corner of the room, that chilled him to the spine. He dropped the candle…

Hi, ZeldaIsShiek here to review some Green Room gold! I personally really liked reading this essay, so I felt like I should add it to the 71 reviews I have already done this week. That's all for my introduction. Let's begin the review!
First off, I'd like to mention that your title is unique and interesting. It doesn't say "essay on fanfiction" or "complaint about fanfiction" but instead uses clever wording and thoughtful design to excite the reader, making them wonder what your essay is about until they read it. One thing that I liked about your essay was that it felt like a speech. You introduced things in such a manner that when spoken would help listeners understand it better than if they would read it. I also like how you included humor at the beginning and the end of the essay to keep the reader focused and to relate with the audience, another aspect of both an essay and a speech.
Now let's move on to the essay itself and what I think of its contents. Your point on fan fiction being enjoyable to both read and create is very accurate, and I liked how you addressed it in a manner that resembled a TED talk or some other educational event. I liked how you stated that fan fiction is good when used correctly, but when you fill fan fiction with erotica or something else that really should not exist *looks at last paragraph of essay* *shivers*, it infringes the rights of others to read fan fictions that are not... Terrible...
I loved your essay, please continue to write. See you next time! ZeldaIsShiek- Out!
Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. Will keep writing.
Hello, Steggy here for a short review! Also, welcome to YWS! I hope you enjoy it here.
The first thing I noticed when I was reading is that this doesn't exactly seem like an essay because they are more about one certain topic while this is more dealing with a variety of topics. But in any case, when you are writing something and you want to grab the attention of the reader, you should begin with some form of a hook. This'll bring in the reader and make them want to read more and understand your point of view. For this topic, I think, you can start off with the different stories you want to prove your story. For example, from reading, I can tell that you are covering the stories of Twilight and Harry Potter but I think you could extend your reach to other stories. Personally, I feel that the stories you are showing inside this one are more of the common ones but you could do a little bit of both, like having novels no one has heard of.
Another thing you should keep in mind is the title. That is the main thing that should catch the reader's attention. When picking a title, you should think about what the main point of this essay would be. In this case, you could do something like 'The Comparison of Modern Works' or something similar.
When writing an essay, you shouldn't reach out to the reader. You should let the reach in and relate to what you are expressing. Also, throughout this piece, your ideas are kind of all over the place. As a suggestion, I think it might help you planned ahead and that way you are able to understand what you are writing and pick where each idea can go.
There shouldn't a question mark but instead, it should be a period.
The ending of this piece feels a bit of out of the place. When ending an essay, from what I've learned, is rephrase your thesis. This'll make seem professional and end in a snap.
Overall, I think this could use some work but with it, I think it'll be a nice read. ^^
If you have any questions, let me know!
Steggy
Thank you. I'll keep in mind all that you wrote.
