Fan clubs happen wherever a character or personality catches the public’s interest. Fiction characters such as Harry Potter have many fan clubs where people talk about the character, pretend to be the character, and write fan fiction about the character. It is a fiction writer’s dream come true. If a fiction writer can generate enough interest in one of their characters to warrant a fan club, they are on the road to success.

How to Create a Fan Club for Your Fiction Character

Fiction Character Fan Club – Introduce Your Character

A fiction character’s first introduction to the public is usually in the book itself. However, it is possible to hype the impending publication of your book by introducing your character early. Have him promote the book. This is especially effective for the point of view character or narrator. Let him tell the public about the book and his story and life.
