I was always wondering one thing

Persons made polls about if FanFictions are good or bad but actually there cannot be a real answer of those tww some are bad some are good

When i move dthrough the Internet i saw great Fanstories but really bad and disturbing Fanstories that i dont even wanna touch anymore

I for example absolutely despise selfish FanFictions for example shipping Naruto with Sakura i know some of you like but well or changing stuff in a weird way
I just find FanFiction still should be for more people not only for the creator itself like someone makes a Harem or perverted things for his fav just for his own entertainemnt that i find retarded

That is my opinion

But i like FanFictions like

someone makes crossovers or makes a story that never get mentionend or people wished to see
As long as the story is well thought and not rushed it is good material

In general FanFictions are nice things but i think people should always stay on a level

If they make FanFictions with canon characters they still need to be careful even if they make counterparts or make a what if it still can be disrespectful to the Mangaka if it is amde in a tasteless manner

FanFiction of a complete new story i dont care people can do what they want


What do you think?

it's all a matter of taste, but:

FemmeFatale, Beauty Busty Beast and RastaRasta has the worse Fan-Fictions

Sakura is NOT kage level and she does NOT have Sage Mode nor Rikudou Chakra.

and NO, she cannot beat Sasuke, Naruto or Rock Lee in a 1v1 fight to death.

I like writing fanfics that explore characters' psychology, have them go through mental struggles etc. I like thinking of what certain characters feel during certain events, how they are affected by them and so on.

Before I read your thread, I present you this: This is BY FAR the absolutely best fanfic I have ever read! And it's also very long as well! 53 chapters! It's a tokyo ghoul one and I suggest you ot read it or you'll miss out.

Edit:
Well I used to write fanfics but I prefer now writing my own stories :)

As for the fanfics:

1.Before you write a story based on existed characters, you should always make sure that you know their personalities very well. Trying to write a story while you can't understand the very essence of one character is a huge let-down.

2. You must also have some original plot in mind, you must intrigue the reader, force him into wanting more.

3. Be well organized, a story must always have coherence.

4. Be mysterious, leave some freedom for the readers to decide some things for themselves, you know, let them be a part of the creative process.

5. Last but not least: Don't be plethoric at the descriptions of the environment. Personally, I can't really keep up with some extremely detailed descriptions and I ended up scrolling down to get back to the main plot. Analysis of a personality is a different matter and an extremely intereting one indeed.

True i agree on that same here
I remember you told me about it once
Psycholgical things i can write them as well because of my own disorder
Also i never published them but my FanFictions never have happy end because they reflect me i dont have happy ends in my life
But maybe if i would write a FanFiction with the main character resembling one of my classmates i never talked to him but he was in my eyes someone that will always be happy then maybe i could write the story

A phsychological tragic story needs a emotionally unstabe main character if it is supposed to be happy end because humans are different i know some people that are not possible to get emotionally unstable or an disorder because their spirit is just stronger
for example if i make character like Itachi it would be not extreme sad because Itachi is that type taht is sad with issues but he knows what he is doing he always chooses the right choice to save everyone and amybe sacrifices himself
Or someone like Jiraiya would be so hard to twist because he always believes in himslef just an example

Ok i will read it but from what i can see this is moe a happy version of Tokyo Ghoul i scrolled a nit through it

Lets see if it is good

Hahahaha you have no clue, this story is extremely dark, I dare say comparable to the actual thing in some aspects. Also make sure to start from the beginning, there is a prequel to this called a poem for transition.

I agree on this here

I always wait for a story to end and then i can kn ow for sure that i understand a character

For example in Naruto i plan on doing something about my favorite character Kisame and i am currently working
It is actually not only because i like the character i understand him and Itachi for example i like him but i cannot put myself really in his character and that is why i cannot write a story about him

Well i also wanna write a Tokyo Ghoul FanFic once
But before that i need to wait how the story ends and well i need to change my thinking i am actually strong when i am confronted by people but my sensitive level let other people rustled me on other forums with too much Ships and perverted stuff taht ahs nothing to do with the story at all but they put a picture inm my head of such things being possible
Well yeah i am ridiculous but after all i got a mental disorder of my actual bad real life so it is possible for me to think like that i always hated that about me

But still i can think well for myslef XD

True. Although different character interpretations are sometimes unavoidable.

2. You must also have some original plot in mind, you must intrigue the reader, force him into wanting more.

3. Be well organized, a story must always have coherence.

4. Be mysterious, leave some freedom for the readers to decide some things for themselves, you know, let them be a part of the creative process.

Those apply to original fiction as well. I myself like to let the story evolve sometimes, though. Not exactly making up as I go, but only having a rough outline that becomes detailed and refined in process of writing.

5. Last but not least: Don't be plethoric at the descriptions of the environment. Personally, I can't really keep up with some extremely detailed descriptions and I ended up scrolling down to get back to the main plot.

This is a matter of taste, I'd say. Some writers can describe environment so beautifully it feels like you're actually there. Of course, it takes a certain degree of skill that most amateur writers don't have. Also, the prose shouldn't be too bland, either. After all, the reader must be immersed in the story.

I'd say, my main advice is to not write self-insert wish fulfillment fantasies (unless that's exactly what you want to do). That usually leads to such infamous things like Mary Sues, character derailment, bash fics etc.

Sakura is NOT kage level

She is Kage Level because Tsunade is.

Name one thing Tsunade did as 1 of 5 kages against Madara that Sakura can't.

and she does NOT have Sage Mode nor Rikudou Chakra.

No one has ever argued that she posses either types of chakra.

^^^fanfic

and NO, she cannot beat Sasuke, Naruto or Rock Lee in a 1v1 fight to death.

Please provide the quotes that insinuated any of that.

That's a term usually referring to an idealized character of sorts. They can be too powerful, too smart or just simply solve all problems too easily, make other characters fall in love with them etc. They often represent the author who is writing them, being what the author wishes to be. For example, if I were to make a character who would look the way I wanted to look, got into a relationship with my favorite canon character even if it went against said character's canon personality, solved some of the canon serious problems without much effort and easily got some powers that are canonically really difficult to obtain, that character would most likely qualify as a Mary Sue.

I'm not against descriptions in general as long as the writer can have a good control over them. In general, I like using descriptions to create a certain mood or if this descriptions are symbolic in a way so they do actually become a part of the storytelling even if it is in an indirect way. On the other hand, I believe that once you succeed in creating that certain feeling, if you keep going without adding any new, then not only will you tire the reader while taking the risk of destroying the mood which so hard you tried to create, but it also bears the risk of becoming a way of self-promotion of your talent. What I mean is that a story should be captivating on its own, after a point it's like you try to show-off your skills and you forget that it's not longer about you but about the piece of art you're tying to create.

Another important thing is to be unpredictable. Unpredictability within respectable boundaries aka not plothole, really works well. It keeps the reader interested and it even refreshes the interest when someone is about to lose it.

I see yeah i hate such stuff to be honest i like characters that are not perfect and have to work hard for their goal
But i think Mary Sues sometimes can be canon

For example taht Mary SUe character reminds me of a harem main character that always succeses with everything

I would never make such a character ebcause it is boring in my eyes well i would never be main character like so in my FanFiction the main Character is nothing like me

My character would be inside one of teh otehr characters in the plot

Its strange but making the main character like me feels egoistic and i hate to be in the middle point too long because main Character and maybe the other main protagonist roles are the only characters that stay in the middle pint ethernal

Though the character i wish to be should be important though but i think Main character is too high for me

Well, I'll admit that I like reading certain authors simply for their technical skill. Sometimes I don't even care about the contents too much, I just enjoy the word flow. That mostly refers to classical writers though. Some of them put a lot of effort into the way their writing sounded, like poetry in prose. But of course, it depends on the genre as well. You generally don't want much description in action. I agree on creating a certain feeling part - you should be able to build tension and give the reader a good sense of what they're facing, let them imagine the setting etc.

Another important thing is to be unpredictable. Unpredictability within respectable boundaries aka not plothole, really works well. It keeps the reader interested and it even refreshes the interest when someone is about to lose it.

Yeah. But the line between a well-thought out twist and a shocking swerve is rather thin. I've read and seen enough detective stories to understand how hard it can get to tie everything together in a meaningful and satisfying way.

I read Naruto fanfics, Pokemon fanfics, DBZ fanfics, Teen Titans fics. Sometimes crossovers from DBZxDC and NarutoxDC. I've written some.

Mary Sue characters come in many varieties (canon characters can be them too, yeah), but the main defining factor, at least to me, is the author's own attitude towards the character. Sometimes, people like the OCs they create too much, so much that they can't bring themselves to write anything bad happening to them. That's always a bad sign, since characters are ultimately tools for writing and not real people.

And inserting yourself into one character or several isn't wrong - in fact, it's inevitable. It's just that, you should always be able to understand that telling a story well is just as important as creating a character well.

It all depends on the reader. Like my best friend, she is in to reading some very strange shit. Me, I'm interested in a lot of things, mainly horror and gore. That's probably why Obito vs Hidden Mist shinobi is my favourite Naruto fight and scene. I have problems.
