In terms of original fanfiction I've been looking in to light novels, which are "quick-read" novels aimed at the younger audience (kids and teenagers?). I thought I'd turn my original teen mystery series in to a light novel series but it turns out that light novels are "downgraded" from standard/classic novel structure, which means you gotta eliminate too much detail and focus more on being dialogue-heavy.
I like description. I like to create my scenery as much as I can, and of course, the dialogue is important, but I don't want to emphasize too much on dialogue without even giving descriptions on the characters' emotions and leaving out the setting where the scene is taking place. I know people can use their imagination to picture the actual scene, but not all readers are able to do that, so adding some description and details would definitely help.
Now that I'm at this point, I began rewriting out my old
Fort Kearny Mystery Stories series to a brand-new title with a lot of changes. The title is now
Crux Odyssey Society, and chapter 1 is already uploaded in Fictionpress. The link is below:
