Poll: Alright, Fess Up: Who Here Has Written Fan-Fiction Before?

[ace_of_something]

Someone pointed out to me that playing D&D is esentially like doing interactive fan fiction.
Assuming that doesn't count than no.

Believe it or not I create fan fiction every time I listen to a perticular song. Whenever I listen to a song I like enough I try and envision a story that goes with it from a book or movie, tv show whatever. An example would be when I listen to "I'm still here" by Johnny Rzeznik I envision a story of the Jedi Exile from Knights of the Old Republic 2.

The lyrics really match with the Exile's story and thoughts so I envision him coming to terms with his past and experiencing revelations as well as fighting numerous enemies to match the music.

Actually I'm not sure if that counts. I'm certainly not writing fan fiction but I'm imagining how I'd make it go.

Oh my god I do the exact same thing! XD I thought I was alone. And I don't write mine down either

When I was a kid I wrote pokemon fanfic.

Dammit I am not ashamed! I am not ashamed that I got Ash a Slowking! (yes I remember the plot)

 

[BakaMick]

Read, write and review, its the way foreward!

 

[Krakyn]

When I was younger, I wrote fan-fics about Vincent Valentine just because I thought he could kick so much more ass than FFVII let him.

 

[Grayjack]

Nope. I have considered it, but I have a very bad imagination, and I cannot write to save my own life.

This counts double for RPGs based on licensed properties.

Actually I'm not sure if that counts. I'm certainly not writing fan fiction but I'm imagining how I'd make it go.

YOu're mentally writing fan-fics. That counts.

Indeed, what he describes is an entire genre of fanfic: the aptly named "songfic".

 

[The Political Gamer]

Yes I have and if you read it you would blow chunks.

 

[Leftyrem]

nerds write fan fictions or really dedicated fans who stalk the developer so i guess its me muahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaahhahhah

 

[EeveeElectro]

Yes, and I'm not ashamed.
It's good practise.

 

[Zacharine]

Yep, in fact I'm in the process of writing fics. Slow as hell, since I want to do it properly, in correct english and with actual plausible plots.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

No and I'm slightly proud of that fact.

 

[GothmogII]

I voted yes, although I've never really written anything based on a movie or a tv show, I do regularly write fics based on my own and others WoW characters.

There's nothing wrong with it really, it can be a fun way to pass the time and share what you've written with others. Though, the countless viewmongering and outright awful fic writers give everyone else a bad name.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Nope. But I've thought of new Batman villains and story arcs in the bath.

 

[Lonely Swordsman]

I did a lot of comedy and parody fiction on DBZ back when I was really into it. I also did a semi-fiction character diary of my barbarian in diablo 2. That's about it, never anything serious. Just some fun little parodies.

 

[pffh]

I used to write diablo fiction, even got voted year after year the best author on the site I put them on (although the competition wasn't all that much since it wasn't a fiction site and there were only about 15-20 of us writing).

 

[Rascarin]

Not only do I write FanFiction, but I host my own website/forum dedicated to it. It's not ALL written by 13-year-old, horny girls that smell of meat; sometimes FanFic can be quite good.

 

[Kayevcee]

I've written a couple of Transformers stories. My most popular one (among the 50 or so people that subscribe to the TMUK e-group) was my first about the owner of the last free pub on Cybertron trying to get his license renewed, but every time he writes to Decepticon High Command there's been another coup and the rules have changed. Apparently I had some issues with bureaucracy at the time.
