Fan Fiction

It's me again! How's everyone doing? Right onto business or lack there of.

Have you ever written fan fiction? It can be quite fun and it's okay if the characters go OOC, out of character. Characters are often interpreted differently depending on a whole list of variables; ethnicity, financial status, neighborhood, personal experiences, beliefs, or if your sane or not. Just kidding on the last one; though I am certain that I am crazy...the good kind at least.

Fan fiction can often help you work out deep seated emotions like fear, anger, loneliness, abandonment, etc. You can also express joy, happiness, excitement, love, etc. Fan fiction allows us to work with characters that have already been established, so we don't have to go to through the pain staking process of creating original characters and locations.

I, myself, write fan fiction. You can usually find me on fanfiction.net as Lady Artimes Blaine or on Hubpages.com as Artimes Blaine. I write a lot anime fan fictions; though because of my recent obsession with Sherlock, I have started writing a fan fiction called Dancing Minds. I'll let you in on a secret. Dancing Minds is just the first installment of this particular Sherlock series. There will also be Imperfect Paradise, Alchemical Romance, Celestial Mayhem, and much further down the road Forget Me Not.

You have to keep it hush hush. I don't want to spoil anything, but you just think about those titles and tell me what you think they are about. Anyways back to the merits of fan fiction.

Now be careful what stories you read, some authors are good, but some are just complete and total rubbish. I have spent many an hour reading fan fiction and often times I wanted to scratch out my eyes at the horribleness I have uncovered. I'm the queen of grammar and spelling, but if the story has a great plot then I overlook any mistakes, but when authors simply push a character OOC and don't have a cause or explanation for it, it makes the entire story choppy and unrealistic.

Uh oh, best stop on that topic before I start ranting. Laters.
