About This Folder

[Booknut, Head Moderator]

An idea has blossomed into being over the past three minutes.

It all started in the discussion post Booknut's Fangirl Academy where members of the group were talking about their love of fanfiction - and how they were disappointed that there weren't fanfics about series'/about couples in series' that they liked.

Someone (the lovely H99!) made the suggestion that they should create their own...and so the idea began!

This is a folder where I will be posting up your fanfics!

Simply:
- Create a fanfic based on a book/book series/book character/s
- Send it to me via GR messaging (with details attached (e.g. what series it is from, title, etc.)
- I will give it its own discussion post in this folder for others to read and enjoy!

The fanfic:
- Can be as long as you like, but with a max limit of five A4 pages
- Must be reader friendly (only include light swearing if necessary - no inappropriate scenes, romance, slang terms or offensive material)

So take this opportunity to not only re-ignite your creativity and writing skills, but to share them and your love of books and stories with others! I'm looking forward to receiving all your fanfics soon :D

That's because none have been sent in, as of yet. So I encourage everyone - no matter if they think it's not that good - to send in fanfics! We're harsh critics of our own work, but I'm sure the members of the group would love to read a few good stories.

Who knows? Maybe I'll put in one...!

[Olivia]

I would definitely read it:)

Here's a small part of a Skulduggery Pleasant fanfic. It's a rough piece, patched together using different things I've written. I hope you enjoy it, and will send in your own works!

The End of the World (But Not Really)

Normal teenagers get to spend their holidays doing normal stuff - shopping, watching television...procrastinating on schoolwork and eating plenty of chocolate to tide them over to the next term of school and endless boredom.

With me, there was no such luck normally. But this year was turning out far worse.

"What do you mean I can't sleep in?" I demanded of Skulduggery.

I was on the phone, sitting upright in my bed amid a swirl of bedsheets whose warmth was far more appealing than the sound of Skulduggery's voice at 6:00am.

"I thought the meaning was perfectly obvious," was Skulduggery's reply.

I sighed in exasperation. "You know what I meant."
"There's an emergency."
"No emergency is important enough that it can disturb my beauty sleep."
"Valkyrie you don't need beauty sleep."

I shrugged. "I know I'm gorgeous but a little R&R never hurt anyone."
"The world is ending."

I yawned, frowning as I did so. "Is it ending as in 'like all the other times it was supposedly going to be blown up by the disciples of the Faceless Ones'? Or is it ending as in 'war, fire, blood and guts'?"
"War, fire, blood, guts and a lot of swearing most likely."

Hopping out of bed, I began searching through my uni-coloured wardrobe. Ghastly had made me a range of cute black coats and I shrugged one on over my black ensemble. "Fine. I'm up."
"Good. Because I'm outside your house as we speak."

"So you weren't going to give me a choice?" I asked in disbelief.
"No. I was going to give you the choice of coming voluntarily or being dragged by your hair."

I hung up with a sigh. Skulduggery - honestly.

He was so melodramatic for a guy who, for all his skeletal appearance, was sadly lacking a funny bone.

*****

The sun was just peeking out, crowned with a scattering of pink-dusted clouds, as I jumped from my bedroom window and into the yard below. Double-checking the state of my hair, I walked over to the curb, where Skulduggery was waiting beside his beloved Bentley.

"Good morning, Skulduggery," I said with a smile. True, waking up early was a pain, but it was hard to stay bitter, what with the cool morning air and the blissful quiet.

Besides, being in a good mood was one of the best ways to annoy Skulduggery.

As if on cue, he turned to stare at me with empty sockets, his head tilting slightly. "You look...happy."
"Yes." I didn't elaborate.
"Good to see that the end of the world is agreeing with you," said the skeleton. "Now get off the Bentley."

I straightened with a sigh, no longer leaning against the car. Some things never change.
