Chapter 4: About FanFiction

Third person's POV

It was another beautiful day indeed with the warm sunshine and the cheerful atmosphere of FanFiction. It was such a nice day to go hanging out with friends, so Sakumira with Molesadolls went outside and went to some places; Bluegirl was busy on her new comic page so she couldn't come. Now, they were at the library to read some books and discuss about several topics together.

Huh? You want to know about FanFiction, where Saku and her friends live in?

Well, FanFiction is kinda like a big city and there are a similar city called FictionPress. The citizens in them are actually authors, as you have already known, and they write fictional stories and share with others. The only difference is that authors in FanFiction write stories based on the characters and the events that already exist in fandom, while authors in FictionPress write stories with their own plots and characters.

When you join FanFiction, you have to contact with the managers and staffs. There, you give them your information, but don't worry about your sensitive info because they will be hidden like email address and other things like that. After that, you make up your own password and the staffs will make an account for you, along with your own house. You have to follow rules there, of course.

In FanFiction as well as FictionPress, you can go to many places such as Forum, Communities and etc. Forum is where you discuss several things about your fandom with other authors and Communities is where you post stories that are about the topics of the community. The Beta section is where you want to find your beta reader if you need one, just like Erin! A beta reader is an author that helps you make sure that your chapter is well enough to be published without any error like spellings, grammar and things don't make sense.

Being an author here is actually pretty fun. You can meet other authors, favorite and follow them if you like their stories. You can post reviews to compliment their chapters, say funny things or help fixing errors that are found in their chapters. PM is-

Hey! Don't misunderstanding! I know PM has its own meaning, but here it has its other meaning!

PM actually stands for 'Private messaging'. You can use it to tell private things together, like it is called, and it is also used to reply to reviews.

Guests or anonymous users are people that aren't authors here, but they can still post reviews on your stories. However, their reviews can be deleted if authors find it abusing or some sort of things like that. This feature is quite convenient, though.

That's all I have to say about the world they are living in.

Anyway, they were sitting next to each other in the library. Molasadolls was reading some Harry Potters while Sakumira was reading some sort of manga and anime-related things. Molesadolls suddenly said.

"Hey Saku! Check out this part!"

No reply for her.

"Um… Saku?"

Still got no reply.

"You are really into those books, aren't you?" She paused for a few seconds and started to get annoy when Saku still didn't say back anything. "Sakumira?" Molesadolls poked her arm. "Sakumira! Can you hear me? Hey!"

Being poked, Sakumira turned to her friend while taking out one of two earphones that was covered by her hair; she was also holding a small rectangular music player under one hand that she put under the table.

"Oh, what is it Molesadolls? I was listening to a cool song called 'Faded' by Alan Walker." Saku replied as if she didn't know anything (Yeah, she really didn't) and sweated when Molesadolls stared at her dangerously.

"SAKU!"

Erin was at her house and checking her account. She saw a message by Unknown.

"Oh, Unknown sent me another document yesterday and I didn't know it. Sorry Unknown." Erin said. "Time for beta-reading then."

She looked for the document and suddenly gasped out loud.

"Huh? Where is it?!"

I wrote the explanations about FanFiction because TonightsArmy wants to know more about it. Well, I hope those things answer your question, TonightsArmy ^_^

Stay tune for the next chapter to find out what Erin found! :D
