[CALIBK12] Query: Fan Fiction Rules

[Connie Moore]

Good afternoon,

I was approached at lunch today by a teacher who has started a new
creative writing club. The purpose of this club is to focus on writing
Fan Fiction. I was asked if I knew of rules about writing FF. Does
anyone out there have some hard, fast rules for writing FF?

 

I have done a little research on different types of FF (Harry Potter,
Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Dragon Riders of Pern, to name a few) and
the only hard and fast rule I can find as a theme is that cannon is law.
You cannot change the story to fit your fiction. Also, names are
copyrighted and credit must be acknowledged to the original author.

 

Anything else you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

TIA,

Connie Moore
