For characters like the Volturi, a Twilight fanfic could expand on their individual personalities. Instead of just being a powerful and somewhat menacing group, it could show the internal power struggles within the Volturi. There could be a character who secretly questions their strict laws and wants to reform them, adding depth and intrigue to an already fascinating group of characters from the original series.
Well, it might give more backstory to a character like Jasper. Maybe it delves into his life before he became a vampire, his human experiences that shaped him into the somewhat brooding character we see in Twilight. It could show how his time in the military influenced his self - control and his views on life and death.
One of the best plot twists could be when a seemingly minor character turns out to be a long - lost relative of one of the main vampires. It completely changes the power dynamics and relationships in the story.
In the fanfiction, it can expand on the powers that Nessie has and how Jacob interacts with those powers. It might also add new characters that are related to their relationship, like friends or foes that are specifically interested in their union. This adds more layers to the story compared to the original where the focus was more spread out among different characters. Also, it can show more of the cultural aspects of the werewolves and vampires in relation to their relationship, which wasn't fully explored in the original Twilight story.
It can expand on the theme of surveillance. In the original '1984', we see the omnipresent Big Brother watching. But in fanfic, it might show how the people start to fight back against this surveillance. They could use hidden methods to communicate without being detected, which is an expansion of the idea of resistance against the all - seeing state.
The fanfic expands the story by delving into genetics of magic. In breeding fanfic, we can see how magic is passed on through generations of magical creatures or even wizards. This gives a more in - depth look at the magical world's biological aspects which was not a major focus in the original Harry Potter series. It also allows for new plotlines, like a wizard trying to breed a creature to help in a war against dark forces.
It might expand by creating new spells. For instance, a fanfic could introduce a spell that allows wizards to communicate with portraits from long - dead wizards across great distances.
One way the fanfiction expands on the characters is through their interaction with new elements. Shirou, who was mainly dealing with his own world's magic system, now has to deal with Saber's different magical heritage. This forces him to adapt and learn, showing his intellectual side more. Saber, being from a different time and place, in a crossover might have to face modern - day ethics and values. This challenges her traditional beliefs and shows how she can either hold on to them or evolve. Their relationship in the crossover also allows for exploring their mutual respect and how they can support each other in ways that were not as evident in the original story.
It might expand the storyline by focusing on the backstories of characters' relationships. For instance, if there's a minor character in the original 'Game of Thrones' who has a brief mention of a love interest, the fanfic could flesh that out. It could show how that relationship started, developed, and influenced the character's actions throughout the main story.
Fanfiction often delves deeper into the characters' backstories. For example, we might learn more about Summer's family life and how it influenced her views on relationships.
It might introduce new types of magic. For example, it could have a form of magic related to time that was not fully explored in the original. This new magic could have its own set of rules and limitations.
It expands it by delving into the afterlife aspect which the original books didn't fully explore. It can create new settings and scenarios related to the afterlife that add depth to the overall 'Harry Potter' universe.
