The fanfiction may focus more on specific aspects. For instance, if the original 'Red White and Royal Blue' has a broad plot, the fanfiction in the context of social network might zoom in on how the characters interact through online platforms, which could be different from the original work's focus on other elements like political drama or personal relationships in a more general sense.
In the fanfiction, the 'social network' aspect can bring about a lot of differences. The original work might not have emphasized as much on how social media or digital communication affects the characters. But in the 'Red White and Royal Blue Social Network Fanfiction', it could change the pacing of the story. For example, news can spread faster, rumors can start more easily, and relationships can develop or be challenged in new ways because of the online environment. Also, the fanfiction might have different character interpretations that are shaped by this new social network - centric context.
One major difference is the level of freedom the fanfiction writers have. While the original 'Red White and Royal Blue' has a set storyline and tone, the fanfiction can take liberties. It can introduce modern - day social media trends and memes into the story, which would be out of place in the original. The fanfiction can also explore different cultural references related to the social network world that might not have been part of the original work. Moreover, the fanfiction may target a more niche audience within the fan base who are specifically interested in seeing the story through the lens of social networking, whereas the original work aims for a broader readership.
