writing an original fic... need help!

So I've never really tried to write an original fic, I'm always doing fanfiction to do with bands or things like that...but I've decided to give it a try.

So I've decided to base the story on an experience I've had, so the story will be based off me and my friends and family... I was just wondering, would I use the real names of my friends and family, or should I change them.

At the minute I'm using the real names, but when it comes to posting it, should I change them to something else, I mean I know a lot of authors change the names of the characters they have based on real people..

Help?

Anyone got any suggestions for original fics?

Anyone want to give me tips?

Much appreciated :D
