What will be the Draft for my fan fiction...im still pressed on chosing what 'cannon' it will be...
outline:
genres? possible style of writing?:
- im thinking outside point of view style. I like the idea of writing something from a minor characters POV
- I liked the chapter style of fan-fiction very much. possibly starting off from a middle chapter. IT can work well if choosing a cannon with a well known story, that way i can start anywhere and most people will be able to pick up from that point i would hope.
- Also, the very descriptive style of writing, similar to a novel, using words and phrases that one would expect when reading the fanfiction closely tied with the original cannon
- I found out about "one-shots" and the way some of the one shots are written, and the size and style of this piece of writing, has really captured my interest, and driving me in a direction i would like to take with mine.
possible opening?:
Lounging flat on the front porch, in the warm Sunday sun, the shabby house cat named Tom didn't think today was much different from any other. His trusting owner was on a trip into town for the day and had entrusted Tom with the responsibility of guarding the home while she was gone. Tom realised this was a big responsibility and undoubtedly believed he had it covered, so, with a wide smile slapped across his dopey face, he proceeded to drift off to sleep.
But unknowing to Tom, his long time foe and household nemesis Jerry, was plotting something that he hoped might just get ride of the pesky resident cat once and for all...
Jerry had always wondered if...
Cannon: Tom and Jerry (Warner Bros. Cartoon)
Style: Novel / Narrative / Descriptive
Format: Story-line of a possible episode
Brief: "...unknowing to Tom, his long time foe and household nemesis Jerry, was plotting something that he hoped might just get ride of the pesky resident cat once and for all..."
I think it is a very good opening paragraph, I will be hoping that it leads into some sort of chaos filled day for both parties.
ReplyDeletehaha sounds interesting :D Hopefully it'll be similar to the original, I loved Tom and Jerry as a kid (: can't wait to read your final!
ReplyDeleteVery good :) i like how you have chosen 'outside of the point style' and i am definately looking forward to reading your final copy. And like Roxy i used to watch Tom and Jerry when i was young also. Keep up the hard work! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha -- I too watched tom and Jerry so can relate to this story of course!! Very interesting take. Opening paragraph is compelling and cant wait to read the final. I think narrative would work well for this.. =]
