First, re - read the trilogy to get a really good feel for the world, the characters, and the rules. Then, pick a concept or idea that you're really passionate about, like a character you want to develop more.
Start by creating an outline. Decide on the main plot, the sub - plots, and how the story will progress. For a Bartimaeus Trilogy fanfic, you need to keep in mind the magic system and the hierarchy of the different magical beings. You can begin with a simple situation, like a new mission for a magician and their djinni, and then build from there.
Definitely fiction. The Bartimaeus Trilogy creates a fictional universe filled with magical elements and adventures that are not based on real-life events or people.
One idea could be exploring the backstory of Bartimaeus in more detail. Maybe how he first became a djinni and his early experiences in the spirit world.
First, re - read the 'Black Jewel Trilogy' to really understand the characters, the world, and the rules. This will give you a solid foundation.
To start writing Divergent Trilogy fanfiction, begin by making a list of the things you love about the trilogy. Is it the action scenes? The complex relationships? Use these elements as inspiration. Then, create a basic plot outline. It doesn't have to be detailed at first. Maybe start with a 'what if' question, like 'What if Tris was an Erudite - born Divergent?' Build from there, developing your characters and settings as you go. You can also draw inspiration from fan art or discussions in the Divergent fan community to get new ideas.
You should also focus on the voice of the characters. Try to mimic the way they speak and think in the original books. For instance, Jaron has a very distinct way of speaking, which is witty and often sarcastic. Incorporating this into your fanfiction will make it more authentic. And don't be afraid to add your own twists to the story, as long as they stay true to the essence of the Ascendance Trilogy.
First, you should be very familiar with the original trilogy. Know the characters, their personalities, and the overall plot. This will help you create stories that feel like they belong in the same universe.
Begin by deciding on the type of romance you want to write, whether it's a contemporary, historical, or paranormal romance. Then, start building your world. If it's a historical romance, research the time period thoroughly. For the characters, give them distinct voices and goals. As for the trilogy structure, make the first book end with a hook that makes readers eager for the second. In the second book, deepen the relationship and the conflict. And in the final book, tie up all the loose ends and give the couple a happy ending. You can also use themes like love conquering all or self - discovery through love to tie the trilogy together.
One main theme is power. The djinns have magical powers and there's a constant struggle for power among different characters, both human and magical beings. Another theme is slavery as the djinns are enslaved by humans and long for freedom.
There are several key characters. Bartimaeus is central. He's a djinn who has seen a lot over his long existence. Nathaniel, who starts as a young apprentice and grows in power and influence. There are also antagonists like some of the powerful and corrupt magicians who oppose Nathaniel and Bartimaeus at different points in the story. Each character has their own motives and goals, which drive the plot forward.
First, think about the characters you want to focus on. Are you more interested in Huey, Riley, or Granddad? Then, come up with a simple plot idea. It could be as basic as a day in their lives with a small twist. For example, what if a new neighbor moves in who is completely different from anyone they've ever met.
