Fellow geeks: Ever write fan-fiction? |
|
I just took my first and assuredly only foray, and would like to hear some confessions.

1. I wrote a couple fan-fic Star Trek stories back in high school. |
|
They are safely under lock and key and have never been seen by any eyes but my own. :evilgrin:

2. No, but I know people who do. |
|
I have read a lot of it.
Some of it was good, some bad.

3. Just about all fan fiction is bad. |
|
Like Christian rock, anything that needs a marketing crutch of some kind to get noticed is probably not so good. Now that I think about it, at least the Star Wars fan fiction has a good chance of being better than its source material. :P

4. I used to write fan fiction on my typewriter back in the day. |
|
I didn't like the way a certain book ended and changed it to something more palatable. Hilarious.

5. And then Jesus died and all the disciples were totally bummed but they eventually got over it. |

6. That was precisely my intention! |
|
My friend and I argued over which Star Wars film was the worst: she picked Attack of the Clones, I went with Return of the Jedi (the thing has rankled me for a decade). We made a bet and to work I went, penning an Episode VI screenplay.
Hilarious is definitely the appropriate word.

7. Yes. I was pretty good at it. Some people stole my stories and I got out of it 4 years ago. |
