What makes a good Fan fiction? - Page 4

as a reader what capture's me is the setting of the characters, i guess with the ff's i read at the moment - i can connect to a character in some way or another - and thats what keeps me reading and wanting to know how the character shapes out. Edited by ArmiandRidz4eva - 15 years ago

oki late as usual in spotting a topic worthwile,....but here i go....

#1...i want to able to relate to the characters,....in some way atleast....n so realistic storylines...i mean its all a fic at the end of the day....but if the characters can appear real, i think it makes the read worth the time.....

#2...oki no hypocrisy here....but somehow i cant but help give a concerned dam to the language, english hindi watever...but grammer, stance, lingo....even slang used....i dont feel the story touch me deep if the flow in language isnt absolute....think um the only one really fussy abt it, so wont generalize it at all as a criteria....

#3 the plot, the twists, the characters...indispensible of course....but personally, i think its not the characters which build a fic, but the fic which builds characters.....for any n every good piece of literature i ever read, i fell in love with characters i had never heard or known og before...simply coz the author cud create that magic!!!

#4...think my whole idea of a good write up zeroes down to me being able to actually close my eyes n see it happen...it that holds true the fic for me is a hit!!!

ps:great topic kat....trust u to come up with fab ideas no matter wat!!!👍🏼

Characters are really importants, most people read a FF because of the couple its based on. I'm not saying thats all fair, but I guess I can't deny the fact that the popularity of a couple adds to the FF. [ex KaSh/AR vs. Sashank-Padma/Shubh-Keerti, most people would be more excited for the KaSh/AR fic..]

Cheers guys i guess we all see thing differently when it comes to Fan Fictions and our likes.

A good FF is something... which one can relate to reality and see... but sci fic are exception... they are mainly meant to express the imagination... but it too becomes a part of fiction...

A fiction arises in two instances: when the original character is losing its essence or when the story is loitering somewhere in air without any grip...

Mainly when the characters are based on the serial, then for us, readers, it becomes easy to put a face to the character and imagine... (dil mein poori film chalta hai...) in that case... we, readers prefer those FF if they are based on our favorite serial characters... like AK, SK, now AR...

if the FF is just merely a story that we need to create a face for the imagination... then in that case... i am lazy  😳 to imagine more... 😃 

i guess i have poured out my heart 😉 thanks for opening such a topic... it really makes us think... 😊

Love u Kat 🤗

great topic kat

kat one more....i think a good title is an eye catcher....at least for the instant!!!

brb & ahh if only i'd seen this earlier i would've made it the DOTW!!!! =(

As they say "First Impression is the last impression"...Like that only the first impression that is the "Title" on the FF needs to be catchy...
