You could also try joining fan groups on social media platforms like Facebook or Reddit. Fans often share their own fanfictions or recommend good ones they've read. For example, there might be a group dedicated to 'Never Let Me Go' or 'Once Upon a Time' where people discuss and share fan - created content.
A common plot theme is the characters from 'Never Let Me Go' being transported into the world of 'Once Upon a Time'. They have to navigate this new magical world with all its rules and characters.
I really liked 'Never Let Me Go'. It's not your typical science - fiction novel. It focuses more on the emotional and psychological aspects of the characters. The way the story is told, through Kathy's memories, gives it a very personal touch. The theme of what it means to be human is explored in a unique way. Are these clones, who have feelings and dreams, any less human? It makes you question a lot about society and morality.
Definitely not. 'Never Let Me Go' is a work of fiction. The plot and characters are crafted by the author to tell a particular kind of tale, not based on real events or people.
Family relationships are a big theme. Some fanfics focus on the family dynamics between characters like the Charmings and their descendants. There are also fanfictions that revolve around the theme of identity. Characters in 'Once upon a time' often have complex identities, and fan writers like to dig deeper into how these identities are formed and how they can change over time.
A 'found family' trope is quite common. Characters who were alone or estranged in the show form a close - knit family in fanfiction. For instance, Henry might bring together different characters who then become his new family. Also, the 'hurt/comfort' trope, where a character is hurt (physically or emotionally) and another character comforts them, is frequently used in Once upon a Time fanfics.
Begin by choosing your favorite characters from 'Once upon a time'. Decide if you want to focus on one character's story or a group of them. After that, plan out the plot. You can make a simple outline of the beginning, middle and end. Consider the setting, whether it's the Enchanted Forest or Storybrooke. Also, think about the tone of your fanfic. Do you want it to be light - hearted, dark, or something in between? Once you have these elements in place, just start writing. Don't worry too much about making it perfect at first, you can always edit later.
A prevalent trope is the 'reincarnation' trope. Fans might write about how the characters are reincarnated in different time periods or worlds and how their relationships are rekindled. 'Power - swapping' is another interesting one, where characters exchange their powers and how that affects their relationships and the story. There are also 'secret relationship' tropes, especially for characters who had a lot of chemistry on the show but never got together officially, like Belle and Will Scarlet. Writers create scenarios where they have a secret relationship and all the drama that comes with it.
