Apr. 2nd, 2007 12:07 amWouldn't it be fun if, with prequels and sequels, if someone took an end and wrote a fanfic beginning, then someone else came along after and fanficked an end for that new beginning? Do you think that that's how stories really grow?
It's like a zig-zag-slide, and to take an XS example:
1. The cartoon exists.
2. Avi17 writes 'The Beginning of the End', a prequel.
3. Someone else, who has never watched XS, comes across TBotE and decides 'OMG, this is awesome!' and fanfics a sequel.
Their 'sequel' is unlikely to be anything like XS, but it'll have some of the same characters, and some OCs - some added by avi17, some added by the second fanfic author - and maybe some of the same themes, possibly. More likely, there'll be completely different themes, depending on what bits the respective authors think is most important.
Interesting.
...
Also, OMG, I wrote 3500 words on one fic today - 3000 words of Pettigrew!PoV, and 500 of Petunia!PoV. That's more that I wrote even on my best day the last time I did NaNo. O_o
( LJ Cut in which Tamar natters about this particular AU )
Actually, as an Addendum, does anyone recall who the Prefects in Ginny's year were? Or, y'know, any characters in Ginny's year apart from her and Luna?
