Basic Fan Fiction Directions • In fan fiction (or “fanfics”), new stories are created using characters from existing works, by fans of the original. • When writing fan fiction, stick to the original work’s format. The idea is to honor the original, not mangle it. • That said, feel free to throw in a twist they couldn’t or wouldn’t have done on the original. You are the writer, after all. • Pander to what fans would want to see, but bear in mind that not everyone wants to see the same things you do.
