Yes, 'Red White and Royal Blue' started out as fanfiction. Fanfiction writers take existing universes or characters and create their own stories. This particular work, which grew out of that fan - based creative space, has since become a well - known story in its own right. It has been able to build on the initial fan - created ideas and expand into a full - fledged novel and subsequent adaptations. The fact that it began as fanfiction also means it has a unique origin story compared to works that are created entirely independently.
I haven't read the 'Red White Blue' novel yet, so I can't give a detailed review. But generally, when looking at reviews, one might expect to see comments on the plot, the characters, and the writing style.
Yes, 'Blue Chips' was based on a real story. It delved into the seedy underbelly of college basketball recruitment and the various unethical practices that could occur in the pursuit of top talent for big - name college programs.
No, it was not based on a single real person. While the events in the movie were inspired by real - life situations in college basketball, it was a fictional story that combined various aspects of the recruitment issues rather than being centered around one individual.
Well, it kind of is. The movie 'Blue Chips' takes elements from real-life sports scenarios and builds a fictional story around them. So, it has some roots in reality.
