Ficcie Talk

[rekall]

I know, I know, I really need to be working on RS and the mpreg butttttt...I'm having too much fun with the next chapter of HC. Mainly because I like to "screw" people over and throw in surprises. :P

In a rare twist of events though I'm working on all three fics at once. Normally I only work on one at the time. This system works for me, but alas the system is now dead (for the time being).

Regardless RS will be the next update since that is what my wifey wants (and what my wifey wants, my wifey gets). That fic is coming to an end and once it is over, I think I'm going to focus on the other two fics for a bit before starting another one. It's tough writing three fics at once and I've got some one-shot ideas I want to do but have no time for.

LOL! She hates "fanon" and that's one of the biggest fanon things ever. In her new rant she said she hated people making Malik flamboyantly gay and Marik and Kura senseless kleptos. But that's what crack/humor fics tend to do. Really, she should get out of the YGO fandom if every single thing bothers her.

I've said it before - people take fanfic WAY too seriously. I do care about my stories and I want them to be as good as possible, but mostly they're just practice for my writing skills and a fun hobby. I'm not going to nitpick them or expect them to be anywhere near as good as a published novel (though some of them are better than crappy novels I've seen). It's not worth getting into fights and being an overall bitch just because someone wants to write something crazy and OOC, especially when it's obviously just for fun anyway.

LOL!

Kura's a thief! Of course he's going to be a klepto! For being such a big YGO fan she seemed to have missed that part. LOL

As for Malik he's in handful of scenes (seriously you can count them on one hand) where he's not out for revenge or hanging out in someone else body do to Marik controling his. How the hell is anyone (except for Takahashi of course) supposed know how he'd act. He's finally able to live his own life for the first time ever, it's called character development. Anyone can write Malik the way they want but most go towards the flamboyantly gay because it's ya'know FUN! LOL

She's starting to remind me of those bitches from PP who flamed Dragon that one time and claimed that people don't change over time.

Part of me now wants to go back and have some 'fun' with her stupidness but I don't think she'd get it.

lol, she probably wouldn't. Makes me want to make Malik the biggest flamer ever in my new story... though I can't make Kura a klepto since he'll be going through a forced reform. It's fun to imagine what Malik would be like starting his new life over after everything that happened to him. And like you said, who knows if it's OOC because nobody knows what he'd be like then.

It'd make me happy if you did Malik like that. ^^

Malik, Bakura and Yami are all a clean slate when writing because all of them are living a normal life for once. That's one of the reasons why I love the YGO fandom so much. With other fandoms the characters are defined so well it's harder to write. Even with YGO I barely touch characters like Honda, Jounouchi, Anzu, etc whose characteristics are so well known.

It'd make Bakura happy if Malik was like that too. ^^

You're right, the reason why I love writing YGO fanfic so much is that, unlike other fandoms, it's full of holes and opportunities to jump in and expand on the characters. That's one reason OOC comments tick me off, because they can be interpreted so many ways.

[rekallthegreat.livejournal.com]

I hate OOC comments too. There's so much room to develop these characters in fanfics. Even with Seto who has somewhat of a normal life there's room to expand because the only times we see him briefly break his business/duelist face is when Mokuba is safe after being in danger.

Now if someone wrote Jou as a bookworm I can see someone making a OOC comment but I would hope Jou as a bookworm was done to be OOC on purpose.

*imagines Jou as a bookworm*

Nah, just can't see it. Now, if he was pretending to be a bookworm to pick up chicks that hung out at the library or something...

[rekallthegreat.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Now I'm picturing him in a trendy coffee house on campus with poetry books piled around him, pretending to read them, in a lame attempt to pick up chicks.
