Writing Workshop - 08/15 - Journalism Classroom - Tuesday Morning
Chloe looks far, far too pleased for this early on a Tuesday morning, especially since she doesn't even appear to have coffee in front of her.
"Okay, so I changed the syllabus last session, and I think I'm going to keep the change this time around, if only to give you another week to dread the Romance class," she said, giggling. "Today, we're going to talk about fanfiction." Chloe handed out a short worksheet and launched into a discussion of fandom, fiction, and a little bit about why writing about real people was fanfiction too (which may have only been for Anders' benefit, but that was one of the perks of a small class).
"Now, I'd like to think that either at home, or in your time here at school, you've been exposed to some television shows or some movies. So, I'd like you to take the rest of the class period to work on some of your own fanfiction. Write yourself into the story, or stick two people together who were never able to get it on without your influence. It's entirely up to you.

Re: Turn In Something
"Oh wow. This is a really good example of how to insert yourself into a story without being too over the top. And nice use of crossovers. I'm impressed."
