fan ficciones

Dear Jorge,

Thank you for your submission to "Panther Pride," the official fan fiction journal for NBC's drama "Friday Night Lights."

Although your story showed a lot of promise, we were unable to find space for it in our current issue. As you may know, "Panther Pride" was originally a fan fiction journal for creative endeavors related to the film version of the book Friday Night Lights. When the television series began airing in the fall of 2006, we split the journal into two different sections, one featuring stories set in the world of the film, and one featuring stories set in the universe of the television series.

Your submission, "Offsides," presented an interesting merger of the two fictional settings through the dimensional rift created by the magic football. And while we were taken with the challenging notion of Boobie Miles racing Smash Williams, and especially with Tami Taylor meeting doppelganger Sharon Gaines at a mirror store, we couldn't help but feel that your story was essentially a science-fiction endeavor more than it was a fictional exploration of the world of Panther football.

Please do not be discouraged, and feel free to submit more stories in the future. In addition, you might try submitting stories to "Powers That Be," the fan fiction journal of the television series "Heroes," which leans more towards the supernatural and fantastical.

Yours,

"Coach" Ron Edison

Dear Jorge,

We receive many submissions here at "Powers That Be." Unfortunately this means that we must turn down some stories, and your December submission, "Eye of the Cheerleader," falls into this category.

The central conceit of your story -- that of a dimensional rift allowing visitors from another universe to create havoc in the "Heroes" world -- was interesting, but the bulk of the story followed characters who were not familiar to us here at the magazine. After a brief appearance by cheerleader Claire Bennet, we spent the rest of the story with the characters from Dillon, Texas in the other dimension.

One of our editors here did some internet research and discovered that those characters are from the series "Friday Night Lights."

Perhaps you should submit your next story to "Landry Land," the official electronic journal of cross-pollinated fan fiction for television series set in Texas.

Best wishes,

Sam Telson, the "Super" Editor

Howdy Jorge,

Greetings from the Lone Star State!

As an electronic journal, we have no space limitations, but our founding principles and editorial mission sometimes force us to reject well-written stories such as your recent submission, "High Plains Shifter."

Our grant from the Texas State Bureau of Tourism stipulates that we must "strive to demonstrate the breadth and width of Texas life through publication of stories showing the intersection of different worlds created by popular television series set in Texas."

In the past, some of our most successful works have included "Death and Gas," a story combining characters from "Dallas" and "King of the Hill," and, more recently, "Forbidden Crossings," which involved characters from FOX's "Prison Break" and MTV's "The Real World: Austin."

Your story, while entertaining, failed to meet our standards, as it featured only one television series ("Friday Night Lights"). The second universe from which it borrowed, the setting for the film version of Friday Night Lights, did not meet the criteria of being from a television series nor of highlighting another side of Texas living (both the TV series and movie examine smalltown football culture).

We would welcome any submissions from you in the future that connect two different television series from Texas.

In the meantime, you might try writing something for 2430framespersecond.blogspot.com, the official blog for fan fiction that combines television and movie versions of the same universe.

Remember the Alamo,

To JorgeLB27@hotmail.com,

Your recent post TEXAS TWISTER is awaiting approval by the moderator of 2430FRAMES.

For the following reason(s):

- NOT ENOUGH CHARACTERS HAVING SEX WITH SELVES!

You may resubmit your story using your assigned login, or submit new stories in the future.

The moderator has the following suggestion(s):

- CHARACTERS SHOULD HAVE GRAPHIC SEX WITH OTHER VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES.
- MAYBE THIS COULD REPLACE THE FOOTBALL GAME AT THE END?
- CONSIDER 'BERG.BURG' THE CHRONICLE OF FAN FICTION FOR THE WORKS OF PETER BERG

Thank you.

I hear that this used to happen all of the time to the "Buffy the Vampire" TV and Movie fans -- that the two universes didn't quite gel. Ironically, these orphaned stories also got published in "berg.burg" e-zine, the pre-eminent Peter Berg fan fiction journal.
