I love the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, and discovered some interesting fanfiction based off the original character. Obviously I didn’t read through everything but the small sample I did peruse didn’t include any of the somewhat provocative writing that I was ready for, after reading all of the other introductory articles concerning fanfiction.
Personally if I were to write a fanfiction I would consider writing it on Grey’s Anatomy, which would focus on Derek and Meredith’s relationship. Everyone that watches the show knows they’ve had a bumpy relationship for the entire show, and for once I would like to see them have a healthy and happy relationship that lasts for more than a few episodes! I think their relationship is a great frustration to most people who watch the show therefore I great number of people would probably be interested in this fanfiction. Although dragging out the uncertainty of their future together is probably a lot of what keeps people attracted to the show, it would be nice to see them do something productive with their relationship. Even though this obviously wouldn’t be the way that the real show would pan out it could be a productive aside offered to fans who may have been craving closure between the key characters. There have been so many times where the direction that the writers of Grey’s have taken the script has frustrated me, and the idea of fanfiction gives me the ability to publish my own input on how I think the storyline should be running. It’s definitely an interesting concept. The only problem I may see with this is that people could very easily get the true material mixed up with the fanfiction material. I know if I were to get really involved with fanfiction I might forget about what has really happened in a show or movie. But I guess that’s somewhat the point thought, or is it?

I love your idea about writing about Grey's Anataomy. I would be really interested in a story in which Derek and Meredith's relationship progressed in a healthy way so I think you are right there. Although I don't agree that you could get too mixed up in the fan fiction, and if you were I don't think that is much of an issue. I think the important thing about fan fiction is that it inspires creativity. What do you think.
I agree with you and Debbie. I am a die hard Grey's fan so I would love to see Meredith and McDreamy actually have a normal relationship. I definitely would not have him with Rose (the new nurse). I think I would also have George be gay on the show. He is so awkward on the show with Izzie and Cali, I feel like if he could just come out on the show, it could really add some flavor to the show. I also agree with Debbie, I think that fan fiction is meant to be a creative outlet. Because fan fiction is purely fictional, and part of your imagination, it shouldn't interfere with the actual occurrences on the show. But who knows, maybe people really do get so wrapped up in their imaginary relationships that it interferes with their memory of the show. I think of it as compulsive liars; sometimes they get so wrapped up in their own fabricated lies that they begin to forget what is reality and what is fiction....
Just something I was thinking about.
hey grey's fans~
Just in response to your comments, I like that fan fiction is available for people to create alternate stories and outcomes that happen between McDreamy and Grey, but in reality, I could live without them. I didn't know about fan fiction at all but after learning about it, I still probably won't ever look at it again. Although, there have been numerous times that I have gotten frustrated with the show I wouldn't ever want to see Grey and McDreamy in a healthy relationship. I think sex in the on-call room and cute little interactions in the elevator and hallway make up their version of a "healthy" relationship. With that said, even though I sometimes get upset about the plotline I still would never want to change what the writers have created so far for these characters and my frustration is what keeps me tuning in week after week. I want to see what's gona happen next. Unfortunately, "healthy" isn't entertaining.
