does anyone write fan-fics and if so how do I start doing them?? I want to write one based on the fallout game series mainly fallout 4 as thats the one I play the most etc but when I've like tried to write one I get half way through and feel like I am doing something wrong?

Theoretically, there should be no wrong way to write fan-fiction.

I've been doing so — on and off — since 2003. Archive of Our Own would be the best place to share a story-telling narrative — fan-fiction — that relates to a video game. They have the appropriate category for it. Fanfction.Net, on the other hand, does not.

If you are concerned with how you write, if the story is not coming across clearly, have questions about your plot, or anything else for that matter, then I suggest reaching out for a beta reader/writer. This particular individual can give you feedback, from grammar nit-picking to plot nit-picking.

But fan-fiction, as a whole, is based on how you — the author — see a storyline being told with already pre-existing characters. There's no right or wrong way to write fanfiction. Just be sure you keep everyone in character, true to how the creators formulated them.

Again, theoretically, there should be no wrong way to write fan-fction; so you write however you want! :)

I agree that there is no wrong way to write. My only advice is to write whatever comes to mind. :)

Hello,

Any kind of writing can be fun. Sometimes it can be hard to start, I have found some articles on how to write this and when you have time if you would like to read them, they can be helpful. They are, http://scottwritesstuff.com/2019/10/...od-fanfiction/ and https://www.ingramspark.com/blog/tip...ing-fanfiction I wish you the best with this and have fun writing. :)

Just write whatever comes to mind, that was how I started my first fan-fic. Also I love the Fallout game series and would love to read it sometime when you get around to doing it. :)

The reason I said what I said is because there really should be no wrong way to write fanfiction; but people can be jerks and there will always be these so-called elite cliques in fandoms who think they're better than everyone else. Don't let these people get you down, and you write what you want to write.

Hopefully the ones who do offer criticism — because we all could use it, to be honest — will be kind and considerate about it as opposed to having a holier-than-thou elite attitude.
