Fan Fiction Experience/Possibilities

Jan 28, 2011 22:14

In case anyone's interested in what I might be experienced with/what I might be talked into writing. Of course, just because it's not here doesn't mean I would never write it. I enjoy a bit of a challenge sometimes, and it's good for me to push my comfort level


Harry Potter

* I did a few fics focusing on Hogwarts professors for the Harry Potter 10x10 community. I'm particularly fond of Minerva McGonagall and Remus Lupin.
* I think there's a lot of potential with the Founders too, since we don't really know too much about them.
* The Mauraders era also has a lot of potential... though I've read and loved "The Shoebox Project" and that has the Mauraders era pretty well in hand

Ace Attorney

* I've got a fair few of these under my belt thanks to the PW Kink Meme, which is awesome because it includes a lot of gen requests and it's fun to write fluff and such

The Dark is Rising

* Mostly I've written these for "fic on demand." Certainly an underrepresented fandom.

NCIS

* I've toyed around with ideas for fics, though I don't have any I consider ready for public consumption as of the time I'm typing this entry.

Tortall

* I think at this point I've read all the Tortall books, and I love Tamora Pierce's writing. I just haven't gotten around to writing any fan fiction for the yet.

Circle of Magic

* And I've read most if not all of these as well. The only piece of Circle fan fiction I've written is not posted on this journal because it was pretty much just a school assignment.

Disney Movies

* I think I've seen most of them at least once. And if not, I can probably manage to watch whichever movie it is somehow. My favorites are "Beauty and the Beast" and "Mulan", though I think "Princess and the Frog" is going to work its way up there when I have a chance to watch it again.

Discworld

* My current preference for books to read, because they're just fun. I haven't read all of the books (yet), but I've thoroughly enjoyed those I have read. Of course, I'm not sure I could manage to match Pratchett's mastery of humor blended with philosophy in whichever fics I might write for the series...

Random Literature

These are a few books with which I'm at least passingly familiar:
* A Little Princess
* Secret Garden
* Little Lord Fauntleroy
* Lloyd Alexander's "Chronicles of Prydain"

Daria

* I haven't actually watched the show in ages, but I might remember enough about it that I could pull off a reasonable fic, especially if I do a bit of research

Fairy Tales

* It can be fun to retell/re-envision fairy tales. I love Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted, for example.

Gilmore Girls

* I think I've probably watched most of the episodes at one point or another. The characters are fun and have a lot of potential for ficcage.

King's Quest

* An awesome series of computer games by Sierra.
* I don't think I've seen much fic at all for them. I really should get around to writing some...

Things I Enjoy But Won't Fic For

* I happen to know that George RR Martin isn't a big fan of people writing fan fiction of his characters, so even though I enjoy his work and am currently re-reading "A Song of Ice and Fire," I'm not planning any GRRM fics.
* And the same goes for Anne McCaffrey's books, even though there was a time I was quite into the Harpers of Pern. I heard a rumor that McCaffrey's eased up on her anti-fanfic stance, so I'm willing to attempt Pernese fan fiction, though I might have to brush up on a few of the characters

... I have the feeling there might be things I could work with that I'm forgetting to mention. If there's anything you want to know whether I'm familiar with (or suggest I should become familiar with), feel free to comment.
