A Guide to Writing Bionicle FanFiction
The Non-Expert's Guide to Writing Better
Introduction
So, you are planning on writing a Bionicle fanfic. That is great! Well, even if you already have written a Bionicle fanfic, it is still great to get great tips on writing better.
I being one of the veteran authors for more than three years still left around this part, thought it was a good idea to come up with this, A Guide to Writing Bionicle FanFiction.
I hope this will help all of our younger authors with writing an even better story. Or help some of the other veterans with some other things. All-in-all, this is a guide that is to help all of those who are willing to read it.
So, what exactly is Bionicle fanfiction, you may ask? Well, Bionicle fanfiction is like other fanfiction, except about Bionicle. Bionicle fanfiction is fiction written by a fanatic about Bionicle. It is illegal to try to pass of fanfiction of a published work as your own anywhere in the world and try to sell it. This of course (for some strange reason) does not apply to Japan, where you can sell your own version of already published work. Some authors, like J. K. Rowling and Meg Cabot, find it flattering that people want to write about the worlds they have created... as long as the author of the fanfic doesn't try to publish it.
Some of you out there may ask, why even bother writing it? It is more than likely never going to be published. True, but it is great practice. And that's why this was created, to help those who want to become published authors of their own series some day with what they need.
When writing this, I used several websites on how to write a good epic, short story, novel, et cetera to help with this very guide, as well as Sue Young's Writing with Style. Everyone needs help with writing, even someone writing a guide to help others with their writing.
This guide will help you get a head start on becoming a better author to the next greatest Bionicle fanfic. It will help you deal with pesky reviewers who flame and those sweet reviewers who praise you, as well as the reviewers who offer tips. It will help you with your grammar and spelling. It will also help you to keep creative and be smart about what you write.
Hopefully, this guide will be useful to everyone out there and will not offend anyone, as it is written informally from me (the author) to you (the reader). We are all friends here, at 's Bionicle pages, and I have respect for all of those who respect others.
