I decided to do my Fan-Fictions on the drama's Outrageous Fortunes (NZ tv series) and Home and Away (Australian tv series) mainly because I am a huge fan of both the shows. I have watched Home and Away since I was little and I have also watched Outrageous Fortunes since it started 4 seasons ago. Both of these tv shows I feel relate to me in some way, many of the issues that they deal with in the shows are things I have experienced or being around.
For example. In Home and Away I have dealth with a teenage pregnancy in my family and had loss of many family members which have both being major themes in the show.
In Outragous Fortunes I feel I can relate to the show a lot also. Because it is a New Zealand made show there are many aspects of it like the culture etc that I know about or have values kind of the same with my family. Although the West Family (main characters in the show) are a bit different to my family, the way they do things are similar in ways. The family are a very "kiwi" family and which relates to me as I am a kiwi. The show is also very homorous which is why I also watch it, some of the crazy things they do are very entertaining to watch!!!
It was very fun to be able to make the characters do things that I had always wanted, I was able to let my imagination run wild with my Fan-Fictions are I loved every moment of writing the scripts based around the characters. But I made sure I didn't take the characters qaulities away from them. For example in Home and Away Sally is a very caring person and would do anything she needed to help others out. Also in Outrageous Fortunes the characters swear a lot so I made sure I didn't take the swearing out of my scripts otherwise I wouldn't really be writing the right thing would I??
