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 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.

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...

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.
