haha,but i guess thats me,i was supposed to put the clothes in the dryer......that shoe was never the same again..


Sorry. I felt like saying weirdness.


Pointers of a fanfiction. Names, etc.
Ok, sometimes I look at a fandom fanfiction and think “ You sir, are drunk.”. There's always those stereotype ones, and those downright boring ones.
Names.
Names are ( in my opinion) somewhat important for a story. But please guys, those horrible, over used, names like Rayden, Solan, Zoilia, and/or Annakida. They immediately make me want to turn away and cringe, those out of the orindary names are most always Mary Sues. It's ok to use those “old fashion” ( basically the ones that aren't named after states, household items, or/and improper grammar.) names like “ Violet, Anna/Annie, Beatrice, Alexandria, etc. Nicknames are great too!
Appearance:
_________ had full read lips, and blonde hair as if it was woven from the sun's rays. Her eyes were the perfect blue of a clear sky's day. Her figure was perfect, with curves and hips. She looked annoyed at everyone in the male population from being chased after with her beauty.
NO!!!!! NO NO NO NO!!!
There is no such Human out there, on this planet EVER. People have FLAWS!\
Let's think of yourself for a moment. Does your hair get frizzy and/or tangled? Get pimples? Do you wear glasses? Teeth perfectly straight? ( I said perfectly straight, those 3 crooked teeth matter, beauty queen...*_*) If you answered yes to at least one, congrats, your human. If you answered No to all, go look at yourself in the mirror sweetie. ( with the exception of glasses)
Your charrie can have flaws like: bulky shoulders, flat chest, hooked nose, too small facial features, too thin or too frizzy/bushy hair, etc.
They might be insecure about there features like you, makeup, diets, body building, etc.
let's move on to Marty Stu’s ( there's a few for a male....) Shall we?
_________ was tall and muscular, with a perfect ripped tan body, hair that feel in perfect place, that made all the girls swoon. He had a dazzling smile that melted the hearts of every women and girl in a 50 mile radius.
This is coming from a 11 year old girl so:
Most guys don't give a crap about their hair on a daily basic. Everyone goes through an awkward phrase so yeah. Not all boys are dead on skinny. Most don't have abs or are THAT muscular without effort, such as football or weights, and that's to impress someone.
Shall we use Harry Potter?
Harry is skinny and pale and wears glasses ( not that glasses don't look good on someone.); Ron is lanky, pale and freckles with short robes. Nevill is rounder with big teeth and is very clumsy.
Not all boys are tall. Not all boys have abs.
Some features are:
short, crooked teeth, knobby knees, hooked nose, greasy hair, no abs etc.
Background:
Not all people have horrible lives, people have parents, siblings, aunts, uncles etc.
I'm not saying make everyone have amazing wonderful, ride rainbows and eat marshmallows and glitter lives, and everything is perfect. Maybe one person has a stepmother; or lost their grandfather that they loved dearly to cancer.
Give your character a normal life. Have them face hardships as the story goes on, I’d rather that happen then have your character focus just on their horrible mysterious past.
IDEAS:
Have something original, everyone's done something about a girl/boy being in griffendoor. Harry doesn't not have a twin sister, Hermione and Draco is just a horrible down right horrible ship, Dumbledoor didn't live.
Everyone just ignores those stories everyone does, I know I do. Make it interesting, make it funny, make it so everyone wants to read more.
PERSONALITY:
Go Crazy. But if your doing a fanfiction about someone falling in love with Remus, maybe the girl can be quiet, but can have a rebellious side ( Remus WAS friends with James, and Sirius.)thinking of good ideas when needed. You wouldn't have someone that's wild, crazy, just does and doesn't think.
Remember, no one has a perfect personality. They can be too stubborn, too nice, hyper, can hold a grudge, etc.
But, make them have at least ONE nice quality....

Me: WAIT A SECOND! Wo changed my title???? DAMN ITS SO COOL WHY DIDNT I GET THAT IDEA B4?????
I don't really care.
Dee: neither do I.
Me: well waddya know, we agreed on something. A miracle!
Dee: neither do I.
Me: well waddya know, we agreed on something. A miracle!

The Title...the changing title is not that cool
