Hello and welcome to our very last weekly for this session! I do hope you are enjoying doing these weeklies <3 of course, if you have any suggestions, post in our suggestions forum! https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/514261/?page=2

Our theme for our very last weekly is Fanfiction! I know we did a swc fandom one, which does fall under the category of a fanfiction- of a sort, but this one is going to be more focused on writing fanfictions from your favorite books, movies, tv shows, or even podcasts!

Cabin Theme Fanfiction

That being said, our first task to warm up our writing is a fanfiction has you taking inspiration from your cabin in swc. (I promise for the rest of the weekly- there won’t be any more swc fandom fanfiction.)

I can promise you that your co/leaders have all worked extremely hard on creating your cabin. They have put lots of thought in your cabin theme, and setting it up. Now, we are going to continue their work and write a short story inspired by their theme <3

If you don’t know what your cabin theme is- go ask your leaders! Although most cabin themes are obvious and most of you guys should already know what your cabin theme is <333

Take the myth cabin for example.

Our theme is the gorgons and their statue garden! Perhaps I’ll write about my life as Medusa, or maybe how I gained my first statue in the garden. Another option you could take this in, is if you cabin has an intro passage and continue it! This would be writing a fanfiction from our cabin theme.

(The intro passage of your cabin -although not all cabins have this- would be the introduction, and where most leaders set up the scene. For myth, our intro passage is the part that starts with “Lilting melodies drift towards you and the sweet, clear notes pull you towards their source.” It should be in the beginning.)

You must write at least 500 words for this passage.

Character Interactions

Okay, okay- now that you have warmed up your creative minds (and thanked your leaders for putting in lots of work in setting up your cabin and creating a suitable theme) we are now moving on to writing more -traditional- fanfictions.

You know, those fanfictions you might read after finishing a book because you just want more of the story even though it’s over. We are going to focus on character interactions in this section. Authors, and anyone who created a character puts lots of thought in how characters think, work, and behave. We will be fleshing out a character from either a book, comic, movie, tv show, podcast, musical/theater performance or video game, and using them in our scene.

Now that you have a character picked, you must have another character. Your second character can be an oc (but only one of the two characters can be an oc- original character), or if can be another character from the same or different fandom.

Take these two characters, and think about how they would interact with each other. Put them in an everyday/normal activity and write what you think would happen. Maybe your activity is that they’re going bowling, or maybe it’s someone birthday. What would a sleepover with the two of them be like?

Keep it to only two characters because we want to really focus on their actions. Remember to stay true to the actual character themselves, and don’t make them do something that they would not normally do. (you know, just keep it realistic!)

For example:

I might take Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter and they will be bowling! I imagine Ron to be terrible at bowling, rolling a ton of gutter balls, but he doesn’t mind it so much because Hermione keeps him in a good mood. Hermione is probably over complicating everything. She’s trying to calculate the best weight ball to roll, and the best place to roll it. - she’s doing all those physics stuff, and she’s totally thinking out loud, which is confusing Ron. Maybe afterwards, Ron really wants to get the Pink Elephant from the claw machine next to the concessions. He’s going to blow what little money he has to get that Pink Elephant, and with his second to last coin, he manages to grab the Pink Elephant, just completely making his day.

Write out the scene and their interactions. STAY TRUE TO THE CHARACTERS! You must write a minimum of 800 words <33

Merged Fanfiction

Our final task of our very final weekly is a full fanfiction! (You may leave us at a cliffhanger, as long as you meet the min word count and please finish the paragraph? Ahaha thanks <3)

For this fanfiction, you must pick a minimum of 2 fandoms (Although, you can write from 2-4 fandoms, but please don’t go more than 4 fandoms- that’s getting a bit intricate and 4 is plenty) to combine and write a fanfiction merging them! These fandoms must come from the same options as in the Character Interactions: a book, comic, movie, tv show, podcast, musical/theater performance or video game.

You might take the setting from your favorite movie, the villain from the most interesting book you read, and make the protagonist the character you played in the latest video game you played. Just take elements from the different fandoms and smash them all into a single story. Have fun with this! Remember to stay relatively true to story and their origins ^^ ofc you can change some canon things- like (KINDA SPOILER WARNING FOR THE KANE CHRONICLES) if you didn’t like the ending of how the Kane Chronicles ended, and just wanted Sadie and Anubis to be together, and Walt can figure things out by himself (Walt should be gay- fight me), go for it!

My example:

Maybe I’ll write an example where Sadie and Anubis stumble across Platform 9 ¾ and they accidentally get transferred over to Hogwarts. They start to learn a new form of magic. OH! Walt also tags along with them and finds Oliver Wood. GAY SHIP! I’M LOVING IT. Maybe, maybe- Morgana from Merlin (the tv show ;) hehehe) is the villain of the story and the headmaster).

Just mix everything up and have fun intertwining stories. You must write a minimum of 1k words for this section.

If you chose two characters from two different fandoms for the character interactions, you are allowed to continue it here! Just make sure to write at least 1k extra words.
