I might actually do that. Should be a nice change of pace. Will need to re-read the whole season multiple times to be absolutely sure of stuff, though.

Thanks for the idea!

VariableNature In reply to Slicer37 [2014-09-03 05:27:16 +0000 UTC]

I actually don't. Part of the reason is because I prefer working on wholly original stuff that I've created, but it's mostly because I'm too worried about my own personal feelings about certain characters influencing the story, rather than what they were actually like in the canon proper.

Like, I may absolutely hate a character, and in a fanfic I write involving them, their negative traits will most likely get more emphasis. However, that would mean that the good/interesting/engaging/relatable parts of their personality get muted or even outright removed, and I won't be portraying them accurately. I've read a LOT of fanfics, and my favorite ones were always the ones that best maintained the way the characters from the show or books or movies or comics thought and acted. I just don't trust my own judgment and ability to overcome personal bias towards them. It's also why I like doing OCT's, since characters' personality et cetera are all clearly defined for everyone so that there aren't any issues (and even then I still get nervous about mis-portraying other peoples' characters).

I appreciate the compliment, though!

Lol I totally understand where you're coming from. To do a good fanfic you really have to get the *essence* of the characters, and most people don't, or change them to fit what they're trying to push.

But no problem, you seem like a really interesting guy

I'm considering auditioning. Just need to get a few things in order, then I'll try and submit something if I can. Even if I can't, the whole thing just looks amazing and I know I'll enjoy watching everything unfold.

I'm tagged? Oh boy...to do what?

And I'm doing alright. Working hard on stuff. A bit dissapointed that I didn't make it to round 3 of TBOS, but it makes sense that I didn't.

How about you?

Oh yeah. Forsaken all the way! Granted, I don't play as much as I used to, but I still occasionally spend some time on.

You?

I play quite a bit actually. xP More than I probably should, but I've been learning to balance it out recently. So you're horde?

VariableNature In reply to gsppcrocks10 [2011-07-28 19:53:20 +0000 UTC]

Yep. My friend who got me started on WoW was Horde, so I set up a Horde character, and it's stayed like that ever since.

What about you? What character type do you play as? My main's a Forsaken Mage (fire spec FTW!)

My dad got me playing. Been Horde ever since I started. I have two 85s, one's a Blood Elf hunter (want to race change it to gob but we can't afford it), and one's also an Undead mage. xD
