Fanfiction

Fanfiction is an interesting animal. They are not tales in their own rights (by tale a mean a story born in a full form by a independent mine) yet they are very close. They borrow a world and characters (or two worlds, as the case may be) and attach their own story to them. As for me, I'm not sure I would be able to write Fanfic in any serious (as in volume) manner because I lack the freedom. I once joined on online RPG my friend Johanna was running and created enormous backstory (which unfortunately didn't very well). The background to the story is as much or more fun for me than the story itself. I could just sit and create worlds till time died (which it does in a couple stories) but I have to force myself to creat the plot and to a certain degree the characters.
