In need of urgent help! Seeking all Fanfic writers!!

Hi guys!

For people that knows me on RPR should have already seen my blog post, but here I am asking for help from ANYONE AND EVERYONE that is even on this site!

I'm a Film student and is currently doing a 5 min fiction short film regarding a fanfiction writer who found her work being plagarised by a webtoon artist.

After letting my class and lecturers read my script, I found out that was seems to be self explanatory and common sense to us fanfic writers can be very complex and hard to understand for people that has never read fanfiction in their entire life.

So here's where I need your help! Please do comment and give me your insights no matter how young/ old you are and if we are friends or not!

How do you introduce people to fanfiction? May it be verbally or visually. How would you show people the world of fanfiction? How do you explain fanfiction to people?

Any insights or any comments at all are welcome!

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Sincerely,
Ezarelle

+ PS! hahahahha please do not plagarised my work! If you're some big shot screenwriter out there please don't steal my idea ; n ; *begs* my script is being copyrighted anyway so-

I usually just explain it by telling people that I write stories about singers I like. If they ask more I tell them how I base my characters on the idol (appearance and name, sometimes some characteristics) and I would let them read some of it as well if they asked. :3

i don't think there's much of a difference between fanfic writer and any other writer/film maker/designer/chef/anyone who invents anything...the only difference is probly fanfic writers have great passion for the fandom they write of, the concept is just basic...having something that's our creation stolen...oh but there's another difference that could make all the difference and add turmoil/conflict....because fanfic writers...don't exactly have as much ownership to their work as non-fanfic writer would...since their characters/setting/etc would be based of something...that would make it hard to argue/claim on ownership...

oops...i think i didn't answer the question...i remember when i did an assignment for my Creative Writing course...we're supposed to produce a creative writing work that would be graded as the grade of our entire course...we're encouraged to show our works and discuss with the lecturer from time to time but i never did because i didn't like anyone to tamper with my brainchild...like what i see happened to other kids who let their works be discussed in classes...so i always hid and never said anything or show anything...and simply took the risk of handing in my final product to the lecturer...and worse..it was a fanfic n i never discussed anything or showed him my work ...i doubt dude knows fanfic or even Korean names,knowing him...but i guess the work speaks for itself...rather than who the characters are or what setting...it's just how you make the work relatable to even people who don't know who or what fandom they're reading about...but of course, for people in the fandom...they get plus point because they'll be able to relate more when we use characteristics of the real people in the characters...

I would say what's special about fanfiction is...taking something already existing that we love...and making it something we love even more...

sorry if this isn't helping anything or answering anything....good luck on the assignment
