Hello Nerdly Readers!
Sooooo I decided to give you people out there a little... advice on how to write a fanfiction.
1. Think up a plot.
This may take a while. The plot for the fanfiction I'm currently writing took me about a week to perfect. Also my first draft sucked! It was so lame! I hadn't fully developed my plot yet and... lets just say its not worthy of anyone reading it. You need to have a plot! If you don't, your story will ramble and some fan fiction sites won't put your writing up. Some elements you might want to include in your plot. Ghosts, Animagi, The Hallows, Time Travel (very popular), and Hidden Passageways. Thats it for the plot!
2. Characters
If its your first fan fiction, I recommend making your main character a lot like you. Lily has so much of me in her, I'm surprised. Some of the things she says, and most of the feelings she has come from me. I can do her half of a conversation without thinking. October has a few of my traits, and bit of some of my friends. But, mostly, she is just original. You have to find a character that suites you. Lily was not described very much in the books, so I could take the basics and really mold a character that suited me. If you have an OC (original character) that you really like, use it! If you are similar to any character and you can make a few parallels, try writing them.
Well thats it! If you have any questions about writing a fanfiction, comment down below! I might make a frequently asked questions page if I get enough.
