Im a preteen and Im writing this fanfic novel that is really good and its always been my dream to see it into a movie!!! Its based off naruto anime and its a good novel! Do you have to publish it into a book first! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEAAASSSE!!! XD
You can;t publish another’s work and call it your own. As long as the characters are the same, it’s someone else’s idea. Make your own.
it’s true… the intellectual property belongs to the original creators, so getting a motion picture studio to develop and produce our fan fiction, would only ever happen if said studio had a licensing agreement with the original properties owner.
but even before that ever comes up, you’ll have to write a screenplay from your fan fiction.
this is a lofty dream, with many factors outside of your control. but that doesn’t have to stop you! if you stay to it, who knows.
and who says you have to wait for the big leagues? you could always shoot the picture yourself. online media streams like the YouTube’s of the world, have kicked open the door for fan films of every fashion. some even blow up to find mainstream treatments.
so get out there and be your own director, producer, etc. and don’t forget to get your fiction on related fan sites. you’ll find the input gained from others like you, invaluable as you grow your craft.
break a leg! meow.
