Well I've been Schreiben a little fanfic recently and I realized that when I write fanfic, I mostly let my character's handle the plot. Whatever happens to pop in my head at the time, and doesn't go completely against the insgesamt story line, gets put in the fanfic.
But Smeyer says that she wrote Twilight Von just "letting her characters handle the plot". There Von making it seem a lot like how, not only I, but other people, write Fan fiction.
I decided to look up some reasons of what makes a good Fan fiction:
"1. Choose the anime/manga/book/video game/movie Du want your fan-fic to be about." Vampire's aren't an original topic. Believe me they are amazing!!! but Meyer isn't the first person ever to write a vampire novel.
"2.Come up with a storyline." I've read stories Von 9 Jahr olds that have Mehr of a plot than Twilight.
"3.Compose your opening paragraph." Anyone with the ability to write can to this.
"4.Add a new element to your story that makes it unique and interesting." Well I'd say that sparkling Vampire are 'new' and 'unique'. Even if it isn't in a good way, necessarily.
"5.Add Mehr details." Saying that Edward is 'pale', 'cold', and 'granite-like' counts right? RIGHT?!?!?
"6.Further develop the story." Well Meyer, Du kinda failed here. But I suppose this is where Du wrote "Eclipse"
"7.Come up with a conclusion." How about a simple cliché? 'We continued into our small but perfect piece of forever' AKA 'Happily ever after'.
"8.Reread your entire fan-fic." 'BUT I'M SO BUSY! I'd never have time to read my own book! Besides, *I* was the one who had the wet dream!!!
"9.Share your work with others." Meyer, I really wish Du hadn't.
"10.Take constructive criticism." I think she missed a step.


Well I just think this proves that Twilight is really over-long fanfiction!
