"Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it
were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of
brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do
it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put
it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not
silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and
they talk back to the culture in its own language."
UPDATE: 20/03/13
I have chosen to base my fanfiction on the TV show Roswell (1999).
I have set it as a prequel, explaining the aliens' journey from when they are found as children in 1989, up until the events that occurr in the first episode ten years later. I mainly explore the relationships between the aliens, and with their adoptive human parents.
UPDATE: 25/03/13
Here is the story arc for my Roswell prequel fanfic:
Max & Isabel arrive at new home after being adopted by Dianne and Phillip Evans. (1989)
Dianne and Phillip's first impressions of and feelings for the children.
History of and circumstances surrounding how children came to be at orphanage.
Max & Isabel's limited memories. Introduction of Michael.
Look into Max & Isabel's new environment, their feelings about their new parents and home. Definite connection between Isabel & Dianne.
Truth about three children. Background/history. Explanation of 1947 Roswell crash.
Glimpse into future (1999) and what lies in store.
Ends where first episode of Roswell begins.

ReplyDeleteany thoughts of making the relationships between the aliens the focus and using the parents as a way to take over the town? : )
