The problem with people promoting fanon over canon. "He would never say that" "She would never do that" "They would not be that" is so ignored with fanworks. And yet the whole reason people promote some fanworks is their desire to rewrite everything, sometimes even adding in sexist or racist writing

To celebrate Halloween, let's talk about dark or darkgrim Fan fictions?

You can Tell one you like or interest you or you wrote yourself. It have to be horror or even elements which takes the whole franchise elements say example. My Little Pony With horror elements like monsters and Killins or even Psychological horror. It doesn't need to be about horror or even elements, but ones which takes the franchise out of its comfort zone. Another example is Scooby-doo But have serial killers or Unknown works and other sort of stories you find underrated or maybe you have a sort of idea for one. Tell me which darkgrim Fan fictions interest you.

Key topics such as monsters like zombies, Vampires, Werewolf or even Creatures which goes bump in the night But that out for blood. It could be Canon or an alternate world which is different From our beloved character World an in a horror. And see how they could. Deal with the whole situation then.

Hope and Despair

The very act of writing makes you better at writing.

That is called “practicing and getting better.”

By the time you finish a book, you will have gotten so much better at writing that you will see what amateurish “garbage” your first chapters were.

That is called “editing.”

However, if you spend five minutes brainstorming and an hour writing, you will clearly be better at writing than “coming up with ideas.” You either need to spend an hour brainstorming, probably things other than “what to write next” or become “arrogant.” By “arrogant,” I mean you have to get used to telling yourself “this idea is garbage, but I bet I can trick the audience into loving it with some cheesy cliches and a twist on the genre.”

Because you really are that good at writing.

The reason NaNoWriMo comes after October is that this is a good time to practice brainstorming. Imagine you were at a Halloween party, with lots of people in costumes. You could brainstorm a short list of costumes right now. Now to continue the example, let us say that someone dressed up as “Dracula” really was a vampire. They kidnap someone dressed as a princess. A pirate, a cowboy, an astronaut, all of these costumes could come with skills that could help “rescue the princess,” which is an easy plot to understand due to a long list enough list of examples to feel cliche.

You don’t really question why an Italian plumber from Brooklyn is fighting a giant fire breathing turtle with spikes, Mario is the “Everyman hero” and Bowser is the “dragon.” Brainstorming is about saying “Yes, and…” adding backstory and connection to random ideas without saying “no.” You don’t question why someone would dress up as a jar of peanut butter on Halloween, you know there is a matching jelly jar for them somewhere. The story is when two people both show up wearing peanut butter costumes and getting into an argument about “chunky peanut butter” versus smooth and creamy style.

You could also have a grape jelly and a strawberry jelly costume. Not necessarily as an argument, maybe there is a canon couple you hate getting into an argument. One wants to go to an adult party while the other wants to go “trick or treating” even if their canon love interest thinks it is too “childish.” One leaves the party for “free candy,” and suddenly you have two jelly jars alone with alcohol starting a gay romance.

You could probably brainstorm a lot of “paranormal romance” this time of year, so let yourself catch up your “coming up with ideas” with your level of writing

I don't know, it just feels that I see more of the former, way less of the latter when it comes to writing relationships, both canon and fanon
