I loved her description of 50 Shades though - she wanted to re-write Twilight, but with characters who were at least college age, and who used S&M instead of vampirism to gain power. And she did. And even re-wrote her own story with the characters gender-swapped, IIRC, which would kind of be...

Yeah, that is what I would have guessed - or maybe a couple who breaks up due to the cheating, then realize they may have been better off as friends all along and somehow move past the betrayal (heck, my wife was kind of that way with her last ex, at least until he seemed to melt down completely...

Would that be the gray people or the blobby ones? Though I guess it is better than being the Failed Mist of the Emperor.

As confirmed by the author. Never heard that before. Has more biblical and Cthulhu mythos elements than LotR ever did... It was more a synthesis of Dune, The Hidden Fortress, early science fiction serials (especially the second trilogy - even the physics was pure serial pablum), and every...

Heh. Some of the worst examples of this have been in movies and television. There was a series on Sci-Fi called "Flash Gordon" - but the only thing it had in common with ... well, ANY previous example of Flash Gordon were character and planet names, and NOTHING else. Oh, and Flash was an...

I've seen first chapters with less detail... which may reflect more on those chapters than the synopsis... Personally, I try to use the synopsis as a short pitch that hints at but does not directly give spoilers. Maybe something more like: Edward is a struggling office worker who spends most...

But those look more like masculine, or perhaps androgynous, mounds... Unless they are the feminine form and Almond Joy is the masculine, since it has nuts...?

Now, if so, I have to say the Harold Shea stories started by L. Sprague DeKamp and continued by several others would probably have to be about the greatest fan fiction ever (well, unless you count the majority of religious texts - those may be even greater).

I have been trying to figure this out for over a month now - either I have just not found the right place to look, or they are the most opaque site to submit to on the planet.

Now are shared universe stories considered "fan fiction" in this context? Say, are stories about the Cthulhu Mythos "fan fiction"? Or is "Fan Fiction" solely "taking either characters or events from established universes and either reimagining the outcome, merging them with other universes, or...

Night of the Living Dead was more of an adaptation - Romero wanted to make a movie of Matheson's "I Am Legend" but the rights had been sold to an Italian production company for more than his entire budget (that company produced the Vincent Price movie "The Last Man on Earth" from it), but...

Most mythology (including portions of the Bible, to be honest), is technically "fan fiction" for the Powers referenced (or of the storytellers who originally passed on the tales).

"Hi there mister Raven. Are you Hugin or Munin perchance? Should I try to tend to you until you can return to Odin's side or do you bring me a message of strife? Or are you a girl raven? Or perhaps a wereraven of some sort? Can you speak at all, little one?"

That is a truly bizarre scene. Much like what I think was a typo in a review of Woody Allen's "Sleeper" (either that or there was a different scene filmed for broadcast television): "And then there is that brilliant scene of the demented breast wandering around the landscape..."

Wonder how my story about a shapeshifter who was born female but who makes a living as a male actor (portraying her father on television) would go over? :D

Just for a single scene it is kind of pointless. If there is a deaf character or several characters make use of sign language throughout the story, then it is a good thing. For all of its flaws, Marvel's Echo handled the use of sign language fairly well, for example.

Or any age before 18 really - that was my guess from the excerpt above at least.

Interstellar cop Urutoraman and Science Patrol pilot Shin Hayata.

After several near misses (and even more ... well, maybe a block away from the ballpark) this came up with a pair of images I might be able to use one of (or bits and pieces from)... Still need some tweaking but might be able to do something with these.

An antagonist works against the interests of the MC - they may not be a villain, may even be another hero as mentioned above, but they are at odds with the MC. A villain is just a bad dude. Note that villains may not always be antagonists (I frequently have villains who work with the heroes for...
