Five works that deeply influenced me

Today, I'm showing off five works that had a POSITIVE influence on my writing style, as well as informing how I plot and plan characters. Let's get started! These are in no particular order.

How I wrote a whole novel without a plan!

 I've stated before that I'm a plantser, meaning I'm someone who plans a basic layout for my story, then make the rest up as I go along. That's how I usually go about doing things, but I do sometimes make exceptions; sometimes I plan the whole work meticulously, and seldom do I just wing it. This is the story of the novel I completely and utterly made up as I went along, and it SOMEHOW became one of my very best!

What's "The Fractured Galaxy?"

 One of my ambitions as a younger writer had always been to write official Star Wars novels. Having been a fan of the franchise since I was a little boy, Star Wars had always held a place in my heart. But as I grew older and saw what Disney was doing to the franchise that meant so much to me, I decided to do like George Lucas (personal idol of mine) and just make my own Space Opera. Thus was born the book I'd later come to call The Fractured Galaxy.

The story behind my most successful fanfic

 As I've written before, I got my real start writing fanfics, and most of those fanfics have been left unfinished. But I did finish a few, and one of them even got a recommendation on TV Tropes! Unfortunately, it was a fanfic I've come to have mixed feelings for. This is the story behind that fanfic, called Power Rangers: Public Enemies.
