Anyone else here read or write fan fiction? I find it a great way to practice my writing, since for right now, I have like 5 book ideas, no one which seemed to make it on paper. Writing on what I already know lets me expand my writing skiills, build on characters, and build on dialogue. This is my fan fiction page. Anyone else like doing fan fiction? www.fanfiction.net/~pottergoose

I don't write fanfic. I don't read it either. (I don't like reading long works on the computer. If I ever break down and get an eReader or Tablet, I might then start reading it. ) I started my first fanfic years ago ... long before there was an internet, and before it had a name, and before I even knew others did it too. I created a character that I added to 'The Quest.' (With Kurt Russell & Tim Matheson.) I only wrote a few pages before losing interest. My fanfic is stored in my head. I keep them as daydreams only. Those characters could one day get their own original storyline ... or not ... I might just use pieces of them and their storylines here and there in other works.
The only fanfic I wrote and posted publicly was just a short scene for a contest I started. It's in the archives:
My Xena Challenge Scene The Warrior, The Phantom, And The Temple's Tomb

Anyone else like doing fan fiction? www.fanfiction.net/~pottergooseI visited your page and will have to peruse your stories. You have quite a few there! Perhaps you can help me with something I'm trying to do ... One of my favorite authors has died of lung cancer and I'm trying to write the last chapter of the last book of a series he was working on. The three books are: Book 1: The Queen who fell to Earth Link: www.fanfiction.net/s/7591040/18/The-Queen-who-fell-to-EarthBook 2: On the Wings of Dragons Link: www.fanfiction.net/s/8186304/1/On-the-Wings-of-DragonsBook 3: Beneath Sovereign Skies Link: www.fanfiction.net/s/10301672/1/Beneath-Sovereign-Skiesand, right now, my chapter can be accessed (and commented on) at: B3-Chapter 19xThis one chapter has been hard enough with all his extensive notes, I can't imagine writing book 4 from scratch but that is what I've been contemplating ...

Wow, Spock! Twenty-one pages - you've been busy!
So this is a Harry Potter fan-fiction once removed? Harry Potter fan-fiction fan-fiction?
If the author of the fan-fiction has a lot of followers, you might consider posting your fan-fiction of his fan-fiction on....what's the name of that site? Joxie, help me out.
<think, think, think>
Wattpad!
They have a vast library of Harry Potter fan-fiction, and I'm sure there are fans of the fan-fiction author whose story you're completing. Might be a good place to start to get feedback.

The author has a Yahoo Group where a lot of their (he and his wife collaborated) fans congregate. I have been posting in there about the chapter and have gotten some feedback.
I feel the chapter is basically finished now. I'm just hoping his wife will come back in and approve what has been done and take over. My idea was to write the chapter as a tribute to her husband and allow her to have it to store on their site.
From what I understand, her husband had all the passwords for the FanFiction site, so she cannot update anything that is on the site but I'm hoping that she has more access to their Yahoo Group so she can store the final file there.
If it were me, I would make every attempt possible to access his email accounts and then go through and change all his FanFiction account passwords. She may just not feel like it right now.

He may have the passwords written down somewhere. She might find them whenever she starts going through his stuff.

I must start thinking about making a copy of all my passwords somewhere. I try my best to have a different unique password for every website, forum, blog, etc that I register for, so it would be quite a list. I think my shortest password is 8 characters and the longest is 16. All of them are mixed case, alpha-numeric and most include special symbols. I forgot one the other day That I hadn't been to in a while and had to admit that I'd "Forgot your password" so it would email me a link to enter a new one. Then I realized I hadn't forgotten the password, I was trying to login with the wrong username!

You can keep the passwords in a fireproof safe, or maybe in a rented box at the bank.

Good idea. Just remember where you put them! I was frantic a couple of weeks ago because I couldn't find passwords I needed - the ones to pay LX's tuition! I keep all her education stuff together in a notebook neatly printed with pages of account numbers, security questions and answers, IDs and passwords. It's quite the list - her scholarship accounts, her student loan account, the IRA education fund my brother left her when he died, the bank account the IRA funds are transferred to so I can have access to them, and the university account - all of them have different account numbers, IDs and passwords. When we started the house renovation, the notebook was boxed up; when the renovation took longer than expected, I had to dig through the boxes to get to the notebook to pay her August tuition; and after that was paid, instead of putting the notebook back in the box, I put it in a safe place....which was so safe apparently, even I couldn't find it for this semester's tuition. (I eventually did find them, of course, but there was a couple of days of panic involved first.)
