Is it ok if the characters on here are from fanfics–like characters I created for a specific world that wasn’t mine? Or do only original characters count?

Also, the thing about the outer ramparts…. Funny story, there’s a villain in one of my favorite TV shows whose last name is Rampart (I have no idea why), and whenever I hear the word in…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Ah, yes. Killing off a character, and then bringing them back. Happened to me. Poor Howzer, sacrificing himself to kill a villain. I’m not sure why, but I started feeling bad about killing him off and had his friend Feather pull off a crazy plan to bring him back. Which worked. Maybe that was a bad idea, because now he and two of…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I don’t remember who the other one was, but yep–that was Wrecker, complaining about not blowing stuff up! And yes, I love those characters too–in my mind, it’s too hard not to…..

@elfwing Same, I have over a thousand songs in my playlist. Mostly whole soundtracks with Christian music scattered throughout.

@madelyn Sentient just means they’re like humans, they have souls or minds.

And thanks!

YES.

• A whole Jurassic World fanfiction, themed after a Warriors/Survivors style, was created from a Disney song. Confused yet? It didn’t go far, but it happened.
• I’ve found that the film scores for the Transformers movies would make a nice soundtrack for the stories that my brother and I work on together. I’ve never seen and don’t really care…

My disappointment at no fire is best summed up with a quote from a favorite TV show:

(a character) Please tell me we’re blowing something up.

(the other character) Sorry [the first one’s name], this is strictly a stealth mission.

(first character) Aaaagh, I hate that word!!

So at least we’re not going on a stealth mission rather than setting…[Read more]

Wow, that poem sounds like a modern psalm! Like others have said, I think writing it with a specific pattern of syllables might help, but other than that I’m not a big poet, so I can’t really help much. I like it though! It’s awesome!

Very interesting! I don’t think it’s cliche at all, but the fanfics I make with my brother are sometimes cliched on purpose, so I’m not sure if I’d know…

@Power

I write fanfiction, mostly. I’m not the best with original plots, but I make original characters and sidestory fanfics to go with them like crazy. My brother is better at creating villain groups, cool weapons, and that sort of thing than I am. But I like writing little picture books (5 published already), and I’ve done a few essays.

Also,…[Read more]

@madelyn @lydia-s I think those two shows were made by the same person, actually. I used to watch that sort of thing all the time.

@trahia-the-minstrel

I don’t have a blog so I have no idea how to do that sort of thing…Sorry! I look forward to seeing what everyone else says, though, because I might open one someday if my books are really successful.

@kathleenramm That’s hard. I’ve barely read any classics besides Narnia (which I liked) and Lord of the Rings (which I enjoyed, but I’m not super crazy about it like some people). Apart from those, the oldest stuff I’ve read has been a dystopia or two, The Raven (as an audio) and Much Ado about Nothing, which so far has been hilarious. But at th…[Read more]

@koshka Cool!

@koshka Wow! You said they were wolves, or wolf-people? That’s a cool scene!

@elishavet-pidyon I know. Feather and Reed totally didn’t deserve what happened to them, but still….I mean, it was already written out for them because they were both from fanfics, and although they were both OCs they were closely linked to the original stories (they came from two separate ones).

@godlyfantasy12 Depends. Sometimes I have an idea of where it’s going to go, but sometimes I just have a scene that’s somewhere in the middle, or even the ending. Other times I have no clue what I’m doing and just tell the story. I also make up a ton of stuff with my brother, so he offers his input too.

@elishavet-pidyon @trahia-the-minstrel Ugh, yes, we can be so mean to our characters. Like, literally taking two of the character’s best friends from her in the course of two days, and then killing off another in a story that happens a few years later.

Or making a fanfiction character’s dad the main villain of the original story, and then making…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 I guess, I’ve only seen, like, one of those. But my male character is a good deal…tougher than that one was. He’s actually an established Star Wars character, and ex-Imperial, so….yeah, you get the picture.

For some reason, I pair off official fandom characters with OCs a lot.

@elishavet-pidyon Yeah, sometimes I have to get around that too…. But I make it work. Only a few characters have gotten that treatment, though.
