Hey guys, @bookstory13 has a great idea to do Fan Fiction. Reply with the hashtag #YesForFanFiction to make it happen! bean_boy

#YesForFanFiction! Maybe there could just be a writing page, where we could write original stories and/or fan fiction!! Now THAT would be awesome since I love writing my own stories!! :D
olliebob olliebob

Yes! That's what I was thinking! ;)
bookstory14 bookstory14

OH that is a GREAT idea! Because if someone thinks of an awesome story but it's not fan fiction, they could still share it! Can I take that idea?

#YesForFanFiction This is amazing! This site will slowly progress to be maybe better than Scholastic, which surprisingly has a bunch of hidden fandoms and forums.

I LOVE your idea for Fan Fiction, @bookstory13! I myself dabble a little in fan fiction. I have a friend who loves to write it. I've written some Star Wars fan fiction. That would be a great thing to add and I think lots of kids on here would really enjoy it!

I started writing a little bit of fan fiction about the Ruby Redfort series (btw if you're looking for book recommendations anyone, READ THAT!! IT'S AMAZING!) and sometimes for school too! It's fun to have a sort of prompt for writing!

Okay, I'll put it on my summer reading list! (Near the top because it's been recommended!)

I once did one for Flat Stanley and The Hobbit. I do some Historical Fiction too.

Cool! For a camp I am going to we are making a "Flat Dorthy" like Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz. What would happen in your Hobbit fan fiction?
bookstory14 bookstory14

If it becomes reality, I can't wait to read your Star Wars fan fiction!!!! That would be so cool! Thanks for having by back with this fan fiction idea, I was pretty sure no one would grab it and run with it, but I was wrong! Thanks again!
