What are some ideas for fanfiction stories?

Answer 1

To write fanfiction, you must know the original works. Read all the books or comics, or watch all the movies or shows - you must know the characters and world enough to be able to write believable fiction about them!

That said, if you wish to be a writer, you must come up with ideas. It's part of what makes a writer - if you can't think of any ideas, perhaps you need to do some more studying. Here are some ideas to get YOUR ideas flowing:

• Read, Read, Read!! The more information you have, the more your brain has to work with!
• Ask questions. Ask "what if this never happened?" or "what if that plan had gone wrong?" or "what if those two characters had never met?" Any questions will lead to ideas.
• Mix things up. Try a crossover story with characters from two different universes - Harry Potter meets Bella and Edward, or Sookie Stackhouse travels to Middle Earth. Just be sure you know the second original works as well as you know the first!

Write whatever you would like to see happen - it's your fanfiction story! Just try to avoid those Mary Sue characters, please.
