ryaneden21 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 i was wondering something an original character should have a complex personality right? not just a 1D personality right? Also i was wondering if anyone could give tips that might help me. You can move this if it's not the right forum for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Anras Rune Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 well it really does depend on what the fanfic is about. If it is a more action orientated series/book/film/anime/game/etc. (lol) then normally the character development takes a bit of a background to the more action orientated scenes. Unless, said fanfic is actually meant to focus on the development, more on the characters, in which case the character must have quite a bit of a deep backstory.But seriously, we really need more info to help more. What are you trying to write a fanfic about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaneden21 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well i'm trying to write a fanfic about Negima. it's kinda follows the manga with my own ideals thrown in to help include my original character (You can find it in the Otaku Release's) i find Negima the most flexible of the anime i watch since a whole lot is left unexplained about most of the characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Anras Rune Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 well, i've never heard of the anime...lolagain, it does depend on what you plan to do with the fanfic in general. As i mentioned, if it is an action based anime and you wish to make a more drama orientated, try to stay true to the series. If not, and you find it to be a bit to difficult with an original character, then you can what I did when I did a casshern fanfic. Do another episode of what you think could be a contiuation, or as I did, something inbetween episodes. It is good practice, and after you should have an idea how the canon characters are in the series. From there you get a feel for the fanfic in general, at least you should. Then you can try with an original character.But thats just what I did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaneden21 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well at some points it is action and drama based. but usually when there done with a battle with a villain it's normal life for awhile (or at least that's way i plan to have it in my fanfic.)

† Anras Rune Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 well yeah, if you feel you can get the feel for the canon characters and want to focus mostly on the character depth then you shouldn't have a problem, but it you ain't sure try what I said about the "canon" episode. It does help, in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaneden21 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 So what your saying it's okay to make my OC the main focus but still try and keep the main charcter's in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Anras Rune Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 well that is the way I did mine on casshern. It does normally make for an original fanfic, cause most folks normally concentrate on the existing canon characters...hence the reason I normally don't read fanfiction. With some original characters, you really get to see the writing style of the author; hence my preferance for "original" fanfiction...

DrumRoll Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm not one to speak, but your punctuation may need a little touching up before you make anything public. Also, be aware of excessive use of certain words; for example, you used the word 'right' three times in your OP.anyhoo, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
