Oh, oh, the ol' switch-a-ma-roo! It's not you, it's ME. I get it. It's not the only thing I think about; I thought about what I wanted to eat later just now, for instance

I try to avoid doing "typical" fanfictions, and try to actually give them interesting characters and stories, or I try to develop a character even further. I also try to never succumb to the terrible Mary Sue characters that seem to pervade them [like the hero of a series being beaten easily by someone's ridiculous self-insert character, shit like that].
Nothing more boring than characters without flaws. Making a character flawed so they're believable, but not so flawed that the reader is thinking 'what a dumbass'. Unless, of course, the character is supposed to be a dumbass.
Do you like steampunk? I love the whole aesthetic surrounding that. While I'm no role player (well, I did once on Omegle
) I very nearly began development of an indie game with a dystopian steampunk setting (think The Mysterious Geographic Adventures of Jasper Morello) but ended up taking over development of a FO3 mod instead. When I sat down to write the central story components to that steampunk-y mod, I really appreciated how difficult it is to create a compelling character.
