Hey everyone it's HopesTweet, here with an update on this thing that I wrote.
So if you've seen the chapter before this one, I stated that this story was a one-shot, well, when I was first writing it. Then as I kept writing and looking over it, I had a bunch of ideas for making this short little piece of writing into a full on story. But I don't know if I actually want to risk it, because in my mind, I think about what would happen if I posted a story with this concept about a person from "our world" being reborn into the world of the animated series RWBY. Which was only done successfully by only one person (seriously go check out Reiteration by Phailen, it's amazing.) The last time I tried to write a Self insert fanfiction, it sucked, I mean REALLY SUCKED. So much that I deleted it because I was so ashamed of myself for posting it on the internet.
Plus, I don't know how I'll write my character, it was easy in the first chapter, because they weren't written with a mindset that they were going to be a part of a story. I don't want them to be overpowered (OP for short) but I also don't want them to be too weak as well. Plus how the SI (self insert for short, but to be honest they're more like an Original character, because if I went through that shit, I'll kill myself.) Interacts with the canon characters would be important and I don't want to BOTCH them, because I know people care about these characters.
So I'm stuck in this situation where I can't seem to choose if I should just DO IT and face the possibility of harshness of many people around the world. Or just play it safe and continue to do one-shots and not be noticed by anyone.
And there's the fact that I have no idea about what should be the main character's name since I haven't given them one.
But I have decided about what their gender shall be, since I made the main character gender neutral in the first chapter, because like I said, they were only made with the thought that this would just be a one-shot.
SO THE GENDER OF THE MAIN CHARACTER WAS...MALE!
Yes, a male, why? Some of you may ask? Well, when I create an OC, it's usually a male, because it's been easier for me to create male characters than female (no offence) characters.
Plus there's a lot of female characters in RWBY, so I thought that having a male character would create a unique perspective since there are a very few male characters in RWBY that are interesting to me. Also for the possible shenanigans that would happen.
( Probably why so many RWBY fanfics have Jaune as the main character. )
So I need to ask for your opinion, do you want this to become a story, or not?
And if there's enough votes for this becoming a story, then I'll post another update about what should the main character's name be?
Here goes nothing, I guess...
