This program will be half presentation, half hands-on workshop. The presentation section will be a brief overview of the history of Harry Potter fanfiction and outlets for fanfiction today -- places like fanfiction.net, Deviant Art, etc. We will discuss how to best get your fanfiction noticed and how to garner readers. We will show examples of interesting, imaginative Harry Potter fanfiction and also examples of tired, overwrought fanfic, so that writers know what to avoid. The second half of this program will be a workshop. Everyone will come away from this program with both a sense of how truly deep and fascinating fanfiction can be, and with a beginning of a piece of fanfiction that they can finish on their own.
