Text A KH Fanfic I am thinking about doing

[Blader2012 10]

I am thinking about writing a Kingdom Hearts story. It will be like the games but I'll be putting my own twist on things. I am wondering if anyone would be interested in reading it. I am thinking about calling it "Kingdom Hearts: The Series". What do you think? Would you be interested in reading it?

That'd be interesting. I'll give it a chance and see if it's good. I hope you make it interesting with your own "twist."

[Col.Random 3,683]

You'll never know how many people will take an interest unless you post the story.

I'm only wondering.

[replika13 455]

[Col.Random 3,683]

I'm only wondering.

 

well then post the story so you can find out.

And remember to make the first chapter interesting, especially if this is your first time.

[SquareSora 133]

[RikuVazquez 108]

Go for it

[Blader2012 10]

Sneak preview is coming soon.

Writing is about doing what you enjoy, but it's also about being unique. There are already 2389028349028490283490839048234 KH fanfics that perfectly match what you've described yours as being like so far. If I were you, I'd try to think of something a little less overused. (:

It'll be different...

[Blader2012 10]

Here is a preview to my story. Hope you'll like it...

 

Friends are a party of life. You gain some, you lose some. You grow up with friends, you grow apart from certain friends. You go on adventures with them, you discover new things with them. Soon, Sora, you will be going on a life changing journey. You’ll meet all new people. You will bond with them and discover all new worlds together. You’ll be facing all new enemies, weak and strong. The weapon has chosen you for this adventure. Be prepared to face challenges and enemies soon. The darkness is getting closer...

So, what do you think?

Have you thought about doing one where you were interviewing the kh chars.

No... Why would I do that?

What do I think? Well right now your fanfiction doesn't sound interesting. The preview you posted too sounds like a generic intro to a coming-of-age story.

 

Fanfiction, in general, is about putting your own twist on things. So with the vague description you've given us, the story's been done before. What you need to do is cast a hook and reel us in. What's going to cast it aside from the thousands of other Kingdom Hearts fanfiction out there? Is your fanfiction going to be set in an alternate universe? Is it going to be a parody of another story? What's going to make your story interesting enough to make us want to read it?

 

Writing fanfiction, good fanfiction, is a hard process. The high school setting is overdone, inserting original characters is a 99.99% chance for disaster (whether it be a sibling to one of the main characters, new Organization member, or new Organization XIII in general, it's not going to be successful), and people screw up the characters one way or another (especially in romance).

 

It's okay to get creative with fanfiction, but it's also so very hard to pull off right. You're using characters that aren't yours. You're using characters that already have a face, a background, and a personality. If you make them act differently (for example: Marluxia super flamboyant and radiating ~GAAAAAY~ when really he's an arrogant, manipulative, bastard) then your fanfiction is heading for the trash.

 

Now what can you do to make your fanfiction good?

 

You could focus upon an aspect in Kingdom Hearts that hasn't really been explained in depth and probably won't be. Like for instance, where all of the kids' parents? How did Terra and Aqua meet (where they always training since they were kids or what)? What were Braig's, Dillan's, Evan's, Ienzo's, and Aeleus' lives like before Xehanort came around? Just where the firetruck does Pluto go throughout most of the games?

 

An AU is always a good route to go, as long as you don't go with the high school setting for the love of god. Do a medieval fantasy, make all of the characters babies, put them in a daycare together and do a Rugrats parody, have gang wars on the streets of New York City, do something that people don't do often. And remember, try to keep everyone in character as much as possible.

 

And, if you're too lazy to proofread like I am, then at least spellcheck whatever you write.

 

And don't write in script form.

 

And stick to one tense.

 

That also means you must stick to one point of view.

 

Also original characters are bad in fanfiction.

 

AND DON'T DO THE HIGH SCHOOL SETTING. JUST DON'T DO IT.

I'm not, I just can't figure out a way to put in that order you all want it to be. When I can, I might post it. But trust me, it won't be script like.

A alternate dimension?

[The Protagonist 332]

No... Why would I do that?

 

cause it would be funny.

[Daniel Black 1,981]

Dont give up so easy. Just work on your ideas... remember critic is for best not for trolling

No! Don't ever stop writing Blader. You don't have to ask anyone if you should write a fanfiction or not, and you don't have write it the way "you all want it to be". And there is certainty no one way to write a "fanfiction". There's no set of instructions, no one conventional way. No form of art ever has to have these things. You had an idea, and you wanted to write a story, right? Then everything else after that is rendered irrelevant. Write it and post it; because you had the idea, and that in itself is its own reward.
