However, there are ways to work around the issue:. In , Wattpad launched their Paid Stories programme, where writers can get paid for their work. Once Wattpad staff have picked their stories for their Paid Story programme, the writer will be notified and have a right to refuse. Kindle Worlds offered the first chance for fan fiction writers to sell their works through Amazon, which makes sense because people already have Kindles or free apps to view their work. While authors can get paid to publish, not all fan fiction is welcome.
Amazon has teamed up with certain companies — owners of certain copyrighted titles — to allow fan fiction writers to base their stories off of. It shouldn't be too hard writing something that everybody would love to hate, but how does one go about doing this.
Fanfiction already gets a bad wrap for being pure smut, but hey if a Twilight fanfiction could be turned into gold, then there's no reason why your awful Justin Bieber "fic" can't do the same right. Follow me on a short journey into internet fandom, and let us discover the money-making possibilities that remain undiscovered. Trust me, by the end of this article you'll be an expert at writing crap-fiction. Fanfiction is designed to be written about your favorite character or person real or fake; dead or alive in a new, intriguing, and mind-numbing fashion.
Your best bet would be to pick a popular celebrity or internet celebrity that's trendy. Don't worry, neither do most people over 15 Google or Wikipedia it , but by God, do you realize how many fake stories are written about those individuals? No, seriously, the amount of teenage girls writing about them on Wattpad and Fanfiction. The readership and views on those topics are in the millions. Of course you don't have to go the celeb route, but it would be wise to start off with a popular niche topic that is hip and current.
From Pixabay. The characters are what drive a good novel or story, but even a bad story needs a bunch of interesting, unstable people. You could incorporate known traits from real and fictional characters, but you should also add new elements and twists to their personalities.
I'll include some examples below:. There are limitless possibilities and the crazier they are, the more likely people will read and pay attention.
The more readers you have, the more likely someone from high places will notice your fanfiction and turn it into a nasty, smelly diamond. Don't hold back on the characters! Include as many crazy personality traits as possible to make them extremely interesting to readers. I've read some therapy inducing fanfiction in my day, and I can't remember any of them having an actual plot.
What I remember is the stories having a collection of events that sprout up randomly with none of them having any connection to the main story. From this I realized that the less plot something has, the more likely people will buy into it at least in the fanfics.
Nobody wants to read about a poor, dying girl who's pregnant. They want to hear about a pregnant girl who meets an alien, has the alien eat her baby, and then a random cowboy shows up because he's actually her adult son from the future. If you're reading this, then you better forget about the plot and write down as many comatose ideas as possible.
Can you make money on Wattpad? You can make money writing on Wattpad and all you need to do is to write great stories, follow the guidelines of getting into the Wattpad star program and you will have more opportunities to earn money on Wattpad. If you try to monetize the videos and the owner files a copyright claim the best-case scenario is YouTube demonetizes your videos. While authors can get paid to publish, not all fan fiction is welcome.
Super Chat and Super Stickers: Your fans can pay you to get their messages highlighted in chat streams. Promote on social media; for instance, inform readers of updates to your story on Twitter. You may not be active on the clubs, you may not have great writing, a good cover and summary, you may not be in book clubs, or anything. Now, feedback is another problem because Wattpad has loads of silent readers. No matter you are an avid reader or amateur writer, fanfiction site is always a good place for you to read or publish brainstorming yet engaging stories….
Best Fanfiction Sites. One big difference is that Fanfiction. Wattpad is mostly miscellaneous original works and hard to read without an account. Large portions of LiveJournal -based fandom, mailing list -based fandom, the Television Without Pity forums, and Godawful Fan Fiction have all been known to look askance at the site. There even exists a hate community for the archive, established after a change of ToS in However, FF.
Net's absence of quality control is viewed by many as a benefit; it gives everyone a chance to express themselves. Unlike moderated archives, FF. Net does not employ any active means of assessing story quality. Its guidelines do require basic spell-checking and grammar quality, but the site does not enforce these requirements in any comprehensive way. I know that there are people who have legitimate issues with FFN and their policies. That's fair enough. I know that there are people who are on AO3 mainly because of the politics behind it - in which case, rock on!
But then there is the crowd that won't go near FFN because it's allegedly a simmering pool of fourteen year olds and all the fic is shit, and that - that is patently untrue and incredibly annoying.
FFN has a much bigger and much older archive than AO3, it is easier to navigate and - this is an important part - it's got open registration. The only time I can remember FFN being somehow hostile towards its users would be when it moved to ban smut and some other genres of questionably prosaic nature.
Each chapter was treated as its own story. You had to review before you could go any where else. For awhile, ff. That was then the MS-characterization reared its head. I remember- the first post was : 'what is a Mary Sue' and it was explained. The site has also fought, at least in later years, the perception that it archived content of generally lower quality, thus earning it the nickname The Pit of Voles.
The origin of the term comes from a fan named Mie Tsukikoushi, who had a blog called " Mooncalf Noises. You heard me. The term has persisted such that even in it's used enough to be referenced directly in posts like You say 'Pit of Voles' like that's a bad thing. In , sockii posted a meta essay about Fanfiction. Estimating the user base of ff. FFN Statistics is a group project that attempts to collect and analyze account statistics gathered from the archive. The blog is a project of the Literate Union [].
They collected account data and produced a table which shows that while ff. Some anecdotal statistical context: three months after the site's debut, there were stories archived, registered authors, and 76 categories.
Jump to: navigation , search. Archive Name: FanFiction. They have collected more fanfics for Emergency 15 than for The Dukes of Hazzard 7. Why these breakdowns? Why have these particular shows drawn so many writers to fanfiction. What is this this " Higher Ground " show that has fanfics? No no no, what's scary is that there are over 10, Harry Potter fics, while there are only 17 Discworld fics. Also, there are exactly 18 Minesweeper fics. I have 3 big original projects planned for the site so if you are interested in helping me out.
Email me.. It's gonna be big.. Hi everyone, I'm very happy to announce that www. And we have done it 3 weeks ahead of projected finish date. Everyone here at www. Actually, it's only the two of us Any and all comments are welcomed.. It has features that I'd like to see Gossamer acquire, including self-archiving. However, the advertising makes me VERY nervous. Xing, are you getting clickthru payback on those banners?
Because if you are, you may be jeopardizing fanfic's nonprofit status. Until this is clarified, I'd encourage authors not to archive here. Sorry, Xing; it's a lovely idea, and I wish I could be more positive about it, but the way things look now, I just can't.
Imajiru [50]. Face it, the money for your server is going to come out of your own pocket. Zines are another thing, since they're underground and people barely break even on them anyway.
The good folks over at www. You be the judge. Also do you have an email I could contact you with? I can't seem to get a response from the support team :. Archive your fanfics on fanfiction. Got a essay on the subject of fanfiction? Then email me the essay I will archive it!

Great for anyone's resume. We are not slave drivers. Star Trek had their fan-fiction readers, and some fans even had scripts produced! If one screwball can't make a difference, maybe MANY can. We are over thirty members strong; come join today--it's free.
No banners anywhere on the site. Xing Li, Founder of FanFiction. Net p. Many of you expressed concerns about our "ad" policy to support the cost of our server and we even thought about have any "profit" from ads given to a charity using a voting scheme. But, we decided to abolish the ad scheme altogether and in the process of revamping it into an automated fanfiction site banner exchange program several of you had suggested.
Please support www. From the most recent data, over 1. If you are financially well off and are willing to lend a helping hand, we need you! If you have the ram module listed above and are willing to donate it to fanfiction.
Large online community in need of legal assistance In a few weeks, I will no longer be able to support FanFiction. Net financially all by myself. As a result, I have partnered the site with Amazon.
For every dollar generated by a referral, FanFiction. As of today, FanFiction. Hopefully the Amazon referral program will absorb at least part of the operating cost. Please support FanFiction. Net by making your Amazon. I'm babbling and I have no idea where I was going but to sum it up: FanFiction. Net has banners and premium services, not to generate profit but to cover costs.
To my knowledge, very limited since I chat with Meimi mostly and aside from this incident, [63] not much involved other than as standard user, erm yeah So I did some googling He won't even hire people to moderate site content, so I have no idea if he has any dedicated employees to care for the site, or simply calls in a contractor to fix stuff that's broken which would, frankly, be a nightmare for the poor contractor to deal with, especially if previous contractors refuse to deal with FFn anymore and no one is around to explain a previous technical mess.
I have gone on the fanfiction. Please help me I know it's shameless promotion but we are noncommercial, so there's that - visit the Page O'Links which I personally call FicAll I really do wonder whatever that would be worth the huge money investment [to replace the site's aging servers], though I mean, FFNET is still the go-to site for fics in a lot of fandoms, but does it still earn enough through ads to be worth it for Xing?
Net introduced a form of ban for real-person based stories RPS : actor fiction. After evaluating that ban and receiving many responses as a result of that ruling, it has been decided that we need to extend the rule to all real-person stories to keep it consistent. Please note that all the stories effected by the ruling above have not been removed.
They will be retained until October 12th, If the changes apply to you, please login and use the backup feature to create a personal copy on your local computer.
News: November 26th, -- Please note at 1AM US Pacific PST time, we will perform several matainance actions which will result in the temporary downtime of forum posting for about 30 minutes.
Since the previous six-month period for forums was, in fact, an error, and the last untouched date in forums was February 20, which is nine months away, they fixed the announcement from the 25th and are using the same filter on your personal messages. In two minutes the number of deleted PMs goes up from to July 27th -- FanFiction.
Net Content Guidelines have been updated to reduce the apparent confusion of two rules: 1. Chat and script format are the same. We do not accept interactive stories. Sure, as always, members have said "FFN has changed, and we're not going to post there anymore," but the collective "we" was a silly generalisation that had no effect, and the site grew.
Just as it did in and The announcement set things straight very nicely, and the site made a big purge. Dropping from over stories to about Now, I actually wonder what the announcement entailed in theory. Then again, if it was banned, why was there arguing and unremoved stories? It's really an interesting record when nearly a third of an archive is in violation of one rule, while you have numerous rules up.
There are two prime reasons that 2nd person you based fics are not allowed. The other reason that Second person you based fics are not allowed is because they are often used for interactive stories.
As in people send in reviews asking the author to write what they want, rather than going off of the actual authors own "imagination". In addition, FanFiction. Net would like to address a growing problem. For whatever reason, some writers feel it's okay to copy-n-paste musical lyrics they have not written into their fiction. If you did not write it, do not post it.
This has always been our policy. Please remove these entries immediately to avoid account closure. These issues involved Cease and Desist letters sent by the MPAA, alleging trademark infringement on the part of sites for using their ratings system.
The other issue involved German record labels sending Cease and Desist letters to sites containing lyrics. These letters requested remuneration for every song which had the lyrics listed. While no fan fiction sites were targeted, a number of archives, including FanFiction. Net, pulled all songfics in order to ensure they would not be subjected to fines.
