I am currently trying to update my あめば blog. DX I am glad I finally figured out how to get my computer to write in Japanese and Korean...... @_@ wfoi#$!jiw~!

Well, everyone here pretty much screwed sunny over, so I'd say the deed's been done. XD There's nothing here that I can really add, but I'm just surprised to see so many.... speeches, you know? That's what they feel like to me--speeches! You guys are so amazing! <3 Sometimes, when you think about it, you NEED the more or less incompetent folks, because it's a reminder of what you already know to be the truth, you know? I don't have a way with words like you guys do, so you probably don't get my point, but this has really been an awesome thread. @_@

I suppose whichever way I go, it would depend on what the theme and point of the story is... Though I have to admit, I've never thought about it quite this way before. Hm... I guess on a normal basis, I would start off small, and then enlarge it as the protagonists journeys to find whatever it is he/she is looking for. Ehh but what exactly goes on in each country and the customs and yada yada.... I've... never quite gotten into. Admittedly, I start Battle Cafe (my 2nd orific) in order to toy around with my 'world making skills', if you could call it that. XD fuuu, I have a long way to go....

Wow! I swear to goodness everything you just said is true for me as well! XD Well, great, I don't feel special anymore. But anyway, I pretty much start out by thinking of the characters first, and I'm good at drawing all kinds of designs and such, and then I sit there and realize that there's no point in drawing and NAMING a picture of someone if you're not going to use them for anything... Now I'm a fantasy yaoi/slash/yuri writer, for the most part.... EVERYTHING I write has fantasy and some form of slash in it. @_@ That's just.... how I write. And I love it! So yeah, I start from the characters, then I move on to what kind of names would they have, and then I have to think about the kind of world and the kind of predicament. I love RPG type places, so yeah... My latest two fics that I'm writing are both fantasy based, monsters, magic, other things that I think I can incorporate into a story without getting too far out there. I also like what someone else said about putting in issues in the story that people can relate to today, which I have to admit I've only really started thinking about after I finished Tales of Symphonia, which gave an intense view on racism humans and elves had for half-elves. It was really sad, but it opened me up to many things! And I think the next story I write will probably have that theme in it somewhere. XD
