In the past, we wrote more. Now we have a staff of writers. The good part about the fan fiction is that it helps us gain audience for our original shows.<br /><br />We also have several spec screenplays and comic proposals, and we're working on a new spec now. Having a body of original work is of course a must.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04467543096755297798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-47414967946173326802010-12-15T01:33:45.318-08:002010-12-15T01:33:45.318-08:00One of my good friends wrote on a fan BB for one o...One of my good friends wrote on a fan BB for one of major Soap Operas a few years back.<br /><br />Her stuff had a MAJOR following and she got so popular that the writers of the show started actually RIPPING HER OFF VERBATIM. I'm not kidding either. Word for word.<br /><br />She stopped writing the fan fiction after that. <br /><br />I hounded her for years to put together her OWN show and last week she presented me with the outline for her own show and it's pretty good.<br /><br />Now she's finally writing something that she can sell.<br /><br />Fan fiction is fine, but you're better off writing something original.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058601442026855932noreply@blogger.com
