About This Activity
Storytelling has been a part of human history since the dawn of time. From epic tales like Beowulf and Gilgamesh to our modern blockbuster movies stories help shape our understanding of the world and can teach us powerful lessons about life, the universe, and everything. While creating wholly original stories is wonderful, sometimes taking the cast of your favorite novel and tossing them into a new scenario of your own creation can be equally satisfying! From Sherlock Holms to the Avengers, Fan Faction has sprung powerfully alive since the advent of the internet and forums dedicated to just about every single genre, comic, or obscure TV show out there! In our group we will explore how we can take these beloved, iconic characters and make them our own. We will work on developing Character Arcs, how to implement Plot Promises, Progress, and Payoff, and how to develop a world that lives and breathes as much as characters in the story itself. Our classes will function as a writer's group were we present the work we have written during the previous week and share selections with the group. Classmates will have the chance to share feedback and suggestions and ask questions help the authors improve and clarify their stories. With dedication, by the end of the semester, each student will have written their own short story dedicated to their favorite fandom! "
