Want to jump into someone else's world and create new stories there? Let's talk about it here.
In the Fan Fiction group, we will post stories (collaborative or not) set in already-established fictional worlds or universes (usually mainstream/mass media). We will also toss around ideas about using these worlds/universes as a basis for telling our own stories. Some writers consider the use of pre-existing worlds a cheat, while others simply find the vast amount of history and back story confining and constricting. Still others, though, find the rules and restrictions a welcome challenge to their creativity and enjoy the idea of jumping in where someone else has left off.
Fan fiction can be good. Let's show that to be true.
Last year, during my hiatus from Protagonize, I wrote a 33 chapter novella called Confidence Lost that crosses over these fandoms.
Confidence Lost is a story that was born from asking myself one question one day:
"What if Neal Caffrey was really an older Tim Drake?"
Though the story is complete, I'm posting it up here on Protagonize gradually, three chapters each day.
I would love it if fans of either of these fandoms would take some time to read this story and let me know what they think. I welcome all sorts of comments and critiques.
Enjoy!
