The Fandomblog

I used to say that I’d never write a fanfic based on a book. Mainly it never occurred to me. However, when I’d been reading Janet Evanovich’s books about Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, an idea began to take shape at the back of my mind. So one day I thought, why not write it? At the time I never seriously considered posting it, but once I’d finished it I thought, why not? As usual, don’t forget to read the rating and the warnings.

Time for another fandom. This week it’s Starsky and Hutch.

This week I thought I’d share the fic I wrote based on the movie Sleepers, starring among others, Brad Pitt. Remember? As usual, read the rating and warnings.

As of today, there’s a new fandom on my fan fiction site, The Fandom House! Wallander! So far there’s one story, but there will be three more once I’ve had time to translate them. The stories are based on the Swedish version, but naturally they will all be in English on that version of the site. There’s also one wallpaper based on the UK version and several based on the Swedish version.

I finally managed to finish an original story. If I could only write every day (or rather night) I’d feel a lot better. I only wish I’d get round to finishing my novel. Why is it so hard? I suppose I’m afraid I’ll ruin what I’ve already written. All I need is a sort of start. A couple of sentences to set the right mood. Usually I manage to think of something much sooner. I’m afraid that if I don’t get it finished soon, it will never happen. It’s just going to be pointless.

This is nothing new, I know, but I think it’s quite interesting that dreams can be inspiration for fiction.

In my case, it’s happened a couple of times already. Once, it was a horrible nightmare (which might not sound quite as horrible if I recounted it), that turned into a short horror story (which is extremely rare for me – normally, I neither read nor write horror).

In fact, thinking back, I think most of my ideas based on dreams, have been horror or at least scary. One reason might be that those dreams stand out, which makes me remember them.

On the other hand, I once had what was (at least when I woke up) nothing more than a scene, but that one scene turned into a fantasy story. I can still remember how it felt to be ‘there’ – where I witnessed the scene. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to work all that into the story, but I was quite happy about it anyway.

At last. I’m writing again! Well, sort of. I’m blogging and I just wrote a fanfic, but hey, it’s something.My brain was withering so I’m really happy I finally managed to get it working again. And fan fiction is so much fun.
