Re: Fanfiction or original fiction -- advice ?
(Anonymous) 2014-05-06 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)Part of the problem here is I really like the supernatural aspect of the story, but supernatural isn't my forte, and I don't trust myself to make up anything that works as well as the Meyerpires. So if I stick to my strengths, it will end up being a fairly realistic story of teenagers with problems, which is not as compelling to me right now. The vampires are serving as a kind of handrail for the parts of the story where I'm weaker.
That doesn't mean I won't try it! I'm just kind of muttering out loud. Thanks!

(Anonymous) 2014-05-07 12:00 am (UTC)(link)Honestly, vampires (and werewolves!) have been done *so many* different ways, I wouldn't worry too much about keeping that aspect if you decide to make it an original fic. Maybe change some of the specifics about how vampires work (the sparkling part is really the only majorly Meyer aspect, pretty much every other thing can be found in other vampire lit. Werewolves, I'm less sure about, but I'm pretty sure that even the soulbonding stuff has been done elsewhere.) but otherwise, you'd be good to go.
TL;DR: As long as your vampires aren't glitter monsters, you're leaning on vampire lore in general, not Twilight. If you do decide to change to original fic.
