Fanfiction!
How I love fanfictions! Do you know what fanfictions are? If you know, BRAVO! I applaud you and for those who don't, don't worry I'll pull out a trusty definition from somewhere on Google :)
Fan fiction (alternately referred to as fanfiction, fanfic, FF, or fic) is a broadly-defined term for fan labor regarding stories about characters (or simply fictional characters) or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thanks Wiki, you always come through. I love fanfictions; reading or writing them. Its such a diverse platform, for fans of all kinds to use. All a good fanfiction needs is the basic published stories have; correct grammar, good plot, developed characters, a proper structure in the story, a clear narrative, and a good title. There might be more but those are what I look for in a fanfiction. A fan can write fanfiction for practically anything, such as; games, movies, novels, shows, and etc.
I, myself, usually write fanfiction for anime/manga and games. Unfortunately, I tend to write a fanfiction half way before having writer's block. Some techniques I found to get rid of writer's block are to simply go outside or to change the scenario I'm working at. Staying at one place for so long, may be what could be blocking your ideas from flowing and a change in pace might be the solution. I also found that taking a break from writing and not thinking about the story at all, was helpful. By taking a break, I let my mind to relax and not stress over. Doing a completely different activity also helps me out. There's a lot more remedies to writer's block but those are what I found most helpful.
The fanfictions that made it out of my on-growing list are mostly one-shots but the mutil-chaptered fanfictions that I have are very few. I put up my Naruto fanfiction called "It Started on a Saturday Night" and I had my first writer's block. I eventually got over it but in doing so, I changed my entire plot and length of the story, which actually helped me out. Oh! I just remembered, I got out of my writer's block but I ended up opening a canal of flowing ideas that won't stop...So, I have fanfictions posted up that are unfinished. In one particular fanfiction, "Can't Stop Thinking", I originally had wanted to write a long fanfiction with many chapters but found out that, that was highly impossible. After a while, I had a burst of ideas for several of my stories and for that one. I then realized that my next chapter would be its last and that's what stopped me from posting up that chapter.
Authors who write a piece of work can struggle to write out a certain scene. There's actually a lot of stress on writing itself and for the most part, it can be really taxing. Although, despite the hardships of writing, the reward of posting it online and for others to read and/review it, is fun.

Haha. I feel like I went off topic but I think I wrote out enough. Maybe after this I might go back to one of my fanfictions and actually finish it or start one. I'm too lazy to proofread this and if you find a mistake be sure to tell me! Thanks for reading!
