FAN FICTION : Stories involving popular fictional characters that are written by fans and often posted on the Internet —called also fanfic. This week on Romance Writers Weekly, Jo Richardson wants to know what fandom do RWW authors have a thing for, and what would we write if so inclined. Hope you’ve visited Tracey Gee’s blog for her fandom likes and wished her a Happy Birthday!

While recently checking out fan fiction on the internet for this post, I found a site listing 15 fan fiction sites so the genre is thriving. Even more to my amazement Amazon introduced a fan fiction section called Kindle Worlds a couple of years ago. Authors may submit and receive payment for some fan fic stories. The giant entity works the deal with the copyright holder according to CNN’s 2013 article, Amazon’s “Kindle Worlds” lets fan fiction writers sell their stories.

If I chose to write fan fiction, I’d probably pick the Cinemax show, Strikeback. It’s about a couple of military bad-asses, Sargent Michael Stonebridge of British Section Twenty and the ever notorious former Delta bad boy, Damon Scott.

I’d make it a steamy action series entitled Blow Back!! LOL! To make the story more fun, I’d set it in the future where they could be intergalactic special ops teaming up with sexy alien females. For an opening scene…

“How’d we wind up playing security guard for the winged diva?” Scott cast a glance to the green fairy like songstress belting out a rock opera tune as she hovered over the stage on huge iridescent wings.

Stonebridge straightened his bow tie, grateful he and Scott were under cover. The guards standing out in front of the stage wore short jackets and jodhpur pants like riders would have worn on a fox hunt back home. Except they wouldn’t be in eye-popping pink and green. The whole show could have been out of the old Earth movie, Wizard of Oz. He nodded to Damon as they moved into position backstage. “And just think the diva fairy could pin you up against the wall with her ten foot wingspan.”

Damon laughed and pulled on his ear lobe, activating the implanted comms device. “Alien or not, I still get more tail than you my friend.”

Michale squinted. “Right, and tail is literal appendage in this space sector, buddy.”

Let’s we what Veronica Forand has for today’s Fan Fic day.

This week on Romance Writers Weekly, Fiona Riplee ask authors about summer fun and how it affects our writing. Hope you’ve already visited with J.J. Devine. Now for my answers.

Your favorite summer memory. This is a PG blog, so I’ll have to go with my second favorite memory. My first kiss happened during a summer visit at my uncle’s farm. Ah, that magical time of adolescence, just walking along a sandy road fills me with memories of first love.

What you enjoy the most about summer. The week my family and I spend at the Outer Banks of North Carolina at a beach house. Over the years, we’ve become friends with the families who rent on the same street and return the same week as us. Our children have grown up together. Divorces and a child lost to cancer proves how hard life can be. It is rejuvenating to renew these friendships each summer.

How the warm days and sunshine affect your writing habits? I’d say I write more as my job goes to a four day work week, so Fridays are mine. Editing outside on the computer is too hard to see, but I enjoy writing to a spiral notebook while writing at the pool. There’s something about putting pen to paper that is freeing to my muse.

Please continue on the hop to Eden Ashe. Have a great summer!
