Game Narrative Summit: My OC Writes IP: How Fanfiction Primes Us for Established Franchises
This talk looks at writing games tied to an intellectual property (IP) through the lens of fanfiction, and how to navigate writing for an established franchise while creating space to tell an original story. The talk also defines fanfiction and dives into its history, and covers how it primes writers to research and respect source material when it comes to established characters and worlds. To provide a real-world example, the talk will look at how Deadpool and Storm were adapted for Marvel's Midnight Suns DLC.
