Princess Memory (2000)-- User's Manual

[the-meme-monarch]

man whatever. bww book scene redraw. i do adore how balan is written to be dramatic and maybe a little snarky

also i took some liberties in making the dialogue more expressive, also i think it'd be funny that balan (and lance) can't help but speak in rhyme so sometimes they'd have to force it to say things that don't exactly rhyme

So yo know how Rapture was built in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean "so governments couldn't interfere" or whatever. But honestly,buddy ol' pal Andrew Ryan Sir, should've built in the middle of the ocean, AKA Nemo's Point (Like Captain Nemo and Nemo as in "nobody",not finding Nemo lol)

Because look, I also read that it's possible that no one has ever been to Nemo's Point because of how far it is from land since it is the literal middle ocean. Also it is located in the Southern portion of the Pacific Ocean,which is the largest and deepest ocean. So logically that'd be the ideal place to build Rapture in my opinion.

"So," Kaiba said laying out all of the applicant's folders out on the table.

The interviews had gone well and there was a good talent pool of duelists to choose from to sponsor. But like nearly everything in life there was a limited resource.

"Except for a couple, I think they're all decent candidates. Which ones jumped out to you as clear cuts?" he asked Anzu.

She was the one who would be working with them most on a daily basis after all, so her opinion was pretty important.

I read your Charles smith/Arthur Morgan fic and i thought the Cooper family was REALLY a quality touch to the narrative. It kinda inspired me actually. So thank you.

I have a sneaking suspicion I know this asker IRL and he is giving me a sneaky compliment, BUT I will take it. I am going to be better about taking compliments!

I've been thinking about OCs in fanfic bc I get a lot of positive feedback about mine, and generally people aren't jazzed about OCs so one or two people have asked me how I go about it. Here's some thoughts.

Readers get salty about OCs bc they're anticipating a mary sue self-insert. Mary Sue's are fine, we've all got some purple-eyed mysteriously alluring archers/sorcerers/rogues hiding in our closets, best not cast stones in that glass house of yours, etc etc. So calm down, fanfic is primarily about what we as writers get out of it and it sure as hell isn't monetary gain. Without writers, there is no fanfiction, so if people wanna lovingly write about their OCs, LET THEM. Writers owe you literally nothing. AND AND, also, i know my OCs aren't 100% believable and they have annoying Sueish elements. Caroline is a bit too cool and tragic. Anri is too funny and unflappable. But the thing is, it's FICTION. if you go too hard overcorrecting for what could be perceived as Sue, you're going to end up with characters with the personality of oatmeal. So do a little flexing, let your characters be dope as hell. Flaws make characters relatable, but it's also fun to read about people being funny and sexy and interesting while being relatable. Caroline is not as good as she thinks she is, she got herself in trouble, and she winds up with a quiet little schoolgirl crush on Charles. Anri is TOO hard around the edges - she comes down on other people so she doesn't have to look too hard at herself. They're fuckups, but they're allowed to be fun too. You are allowed to like your OCs.

I usually approach OCs from a narrative need. "I need this to happen and I don't know/there isn't a canon character that will fill this need." So for ask, but gently, the thought process went like this:

There needs to be another hurdle to make the story come together. The hurdle should be Micah catching up with them. How does Micah catch up with them?

Arthur needs to get the fuck over himself and 'forgive' Charles. He needs to be reminded of Charles selflessness

The hurdle should tie into their identities, maybe racism, homophobia, etc

3. So I basically flipped all those concepts around in my head until i came up with a missing, mixed race girl and her family. Boom. Hits all the marks. Micah gets extra villain points for not only being a thorn in Charles and Arthur's sides, but also threatens this family. Boom boom boom

4. So now we have what the OC is going to be. You can just use them like that, little bricks to build the story, and that's fine. But i think it's more helpful to then zoom out from what I need from them for plot and think about them as characters. Aside from getting tangled up in my story, what are they like, what do they love/hate, how do they gel with the world. It's not all vital, but it makes writing them interacting in the plot easier and more natural.

So, TL;DR:

Identify a narrative need

Come up with a character in a situation that fills that narrative need

Forget about the purpose they're going to solve in the plot and focus on what put them there, who they are, what makes them a full human outside the bounds of your story
