FanFiction.Net - unleash your imagination| Mrs.Phineas Bogg |
Author has written 33 stories for Voyagers!, Bad Boys, Chuck, Cover Up, Incredible Hulk, and My Bodyguard. I appreciate all the reviews and advice that fellow fans and readers have given me through the years. it has really aided me to be a better Fan-Fic writer and I hope my stories are enjoyable to all who read them. It's important that my stories honestly capture the original essence of the plot, characters, and unique quality for each TV show I write for, along with my own added brand of humor, adventure, etc. Thank you for following with me on all these journeys. I'd also like to give big props to all the talented writers on this forum...at least for the stories I've read and the forums I'm familiar with. It's been a privilege to read their great stories and make them favorites. Keep at it! Keep watching the shows, doing the necessary research and gaining understanding the characters. That makes for better writing...it's a process, it can sometimes be painful, but the satisfaction of a tale well done is IMMENSE. Don't be afraid to keep improving! I know I'm constantly trying. :) As you can tell from my profile pic, that's the way I'm feeling now, a little drained, with much going on in Real life that keeps me from being creative and focusing on stories. I'll eventually get back to writing, but I don't want to burn out completely. I'm very thankful to all my subscribers and fans of my stories and if you haven't yet, please drop me a review and tell me your favorites. I still very much appreciate them and get motivated by them.

Check out the wallpapers to my Voyagers stories- And the wallpapers to my other stories, including Chuck! Miscellaneous Stories/Chuck FF wallpapers -Oo- Advice from what I've learned with Fan Fiction and writing in general We all have our own voice, even if we do quirky things to words or grammar that may confuse others or cause them to chide and berate us. If some people spend too much time on these forums, they suddenly become the master of the English language and turn into professors at Harvard or Yale and want to change everything. As long as we have the basics and don't mutilate the English language as some have or still do, we'll be okay. To the Writers~ Don't take it too personal and keep doing what you do best...especially if you've always been confident of your work before and others enjoy it. There's nothing wrong with getting or asking for help, I encourage it, but DON'T LOSE YOUR VOICE in the process and write, write, write! If an error or question about continuity, etc. is brought to your attention, guess what? Fanfic allows you to edit! Ask my readers...you can always edit! ;) That's a writer's prerogative! Don't let pride keep you from improving. For those who love to 'BETA'~ Be kind,patient and helpful. Don't automatically assume a writer even wants your assistance, no matter how wonderful or fantastic you think your changes will be. Hopefully, the writer will understand you are only trying to make them better at their craft and at least apply some if not all of your suggestions. Don't BETA to be glorified. To the readers~ You have every right to expect us writers to churn out a decent story and create worlds familiar to you from your favorite shows and movies. You have the right to expect good grammar and story flow. You, readers, are our writing life blood. Your reviews can make or break us, but, they should ultimately improve our work. A writer strives to be heard. If you enjoy our story, please leave an honest review. Use more than two words and let your voice be heard. It's a writer's ultimate disappointment to see review posts that say, 'nice story,' 'good job,' 'more please,' 'Update quick' and many other canned phrases that tell us nothing of your pleasure or (groan!) displeasure. If you truly liked what you read, or have issues, let us know! Try to be specific on the the dialogue and descriptions that grabbed you. Tell us respectfully how you feel about our take on your favorite hero or villain. Your reviews make us want to write more and more. They encourage us to make improvements and it becomes a generous cycle of writing and reviewing. If you feel the absolute need to pick apart our stories like a turkey, then please, use the PM feature! Don't harass, attack or belittle us in the review box. ~O~ I believe it's context and content that's very important in writing Fan Fiction. How well do we know our source material? Watching one episode or seeing the movie one time will not make for a good story, no matter how zealous we get to write one. Are we giving the characters we've come to love, our respect? Are we writing them in the way to which we've become accustomed when watching them onscreen? Perhaps even fleshing them out, and stepping in where (GASP!) canon fails? RESEARCH your context, your setting, the time period. Get to know the style of dress, talking and manners of the characters and the world in which they live. That is especially true in my case, as Voyagers travel to all periods of history. A big thing for me and my best advice is to KNOW YOUR ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. They are the ones who give the characters their personality, humor and vitality...and make them their own. I tend to notice body language and behaviors that carries with them from film to film or show to show...a roll of the eye, a flick of the hair, a smile, wink..a turn of the hand or phrase.Take notice of the sound of their voice and laughter, the way they kiss, cry, get angry, show love and affection, and a host of other qualities that makes us all uniquely human and different. The same nuances are always present in their performances if you know who you're dealing with. Test out my theory and pay close attention. You'll see the actor's real persona emerging through each role. You are still watching them as different characters but deep down there is the heart and soul of the performer... Some scenes you juggle two balls, some scenes you juggle three balls, some scenes you can juggle five balls. The key is always to speak in your own voice. Speak the truth. That's Acting 101. Then you start putting layers on top of that." Vincent D'onofrio. I'm always looking, as an actor, for activities. I think it's far more interesting to watch what people do than what they say. You always want to watch behavior, because the dialogue as written by our illustrious leaders is great. Eminently playable." Adam Baldwin On a final note...We can all agree that strong OCs can turn a world upside down with excitement, fun, and humor... providing they don't destroy or reduce the canons to underwritten pulps. Us writers know these stories are for enjoyment, and don't expect to be on the New York Times Bestseller's list anytime soon. I find it very disheartening when the 'purists' come along and demand that there be no additional characters. The actual shows do that all the time, it's what makes the episode exciting! It doesn't mean they will be in every episode or story for that matter. My last bit of advice to all, let's just keep it fun, honest, and dignified! | |||||||||||
