You can tell summer is almost upon us. Postings at various communities have started to slow up along with commentaries. Time to go out and play in the sun.
I was thinking about short stories and comparison to fan fiction. Fan fiction is it’s own unique genre, writing in a known universe with characters somewhat developed by others. At what length page wise or what is the number words a FF story is considered as a short story? Yeah, I know. Perhaps an inane question considering I have read anywhere from one page to hundreds. But I am curious about convention in fan fiction writing. Are there any standards in terms of characterization, plot, setting, and other writing elements.
I really do need to find others with similar interest in writing and add them to my friendlist.
