Frostian-Guardian

I’ve read a lot of RotG and GoC (Guardians of Childhood series—the books the movie is loosely based off of) fanfiction. Like, a lot a lot. And as I’ve read and read, some common problems have emerged. A fanfiction’s quality can really dictate its readership. When I compare, say, on Quotev, the favorites on one fanfiction that’s fantastic, and another of the same type (ex: a certain ship) that isn’t written so well, the more well-written one has many more favorites. Sometimes fanfictions have more than others because one story’s about a more popular topic, but if you want to earn as many readers as yo

Cupid You stand on the roof top, looking down at your two targets.  The woman is bundled up tightly against the harsh winter cold.  She has on a coat, scarf, gloves and a knitted hat.  Her cheeks are flushed and puffs of air can be seen leaving her lips as her warm breath crystallizes in the air in front of her.  The man is walking straight toward her, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his own coat.  The two have yet to see each other, but you know the moment will soon occur. You pull a red tipped arrow from your quiver and notch it into your bow.  Raising your arms, you take your sights and pull the string back.  Your practiced muscles

Your character is slowly taking shape! We know who it is now, how he or she acts, and his or her backstory. However, something's still missing in the equation. What does the character look like? This is the part which most people will often prefer writing, since it allows them to exert fashion sense, to give the character some flair, or to give an overall feel of what the character inspires at first glance (or all of the above). This is the time to be the most creative; your character needs to know what it looks like before stepping into action. Although you might want to give a thousand accessories, multiple hair colours and epic clothes t

Now that you know how your character acts and reacts, maybe even the way they think, it's time to construct their history! This section, also sometimes called the "Bio", short for "Biography", is meant to contain any important events which happened in the character's past. Kara's history isn't exactly a good example of that, however, since I tried to sever all the bonds I could between her and any world other than the tutorial world, and roleplays never do take place in the tutorial world (to my knowledge; if you've already witnessed a roleplay taking place in there, please tell me; I'd like to see the log). Unfortunately, that means that th

If there's one thing which I look out for in a character sheet, it's the personality section. Of all the details you can add to a character sheet, personality is arguably the most important and the most crucial of them all. It defines exactly who your character is above their name, age, gender and species. That is who they truly are, because that is what people will see about them beyond what they look like and first impression, and the way that the character will act towards other people. "Other people" isn't just everyone in general; if a certain type of people will make your character act differently, it should be mentioned. It's crucial
