A Brain Break for TheStanfordExperiment
Okay, so I did this mainly to give my brain a break from all the creative writing I've been doing. Don't worry, next chapter will come soon.
So! Some questions are in order!
1. How do you write a good fanfiction?
It's ALL in the writing. Seriously. Reading the stories should be easy, unhindered, and not distracting for your audience. They shouldn't have to decipher your gibberish to get to the crux of the story. If you can make your writing style entertaining, people will read anything you make. Staying true to the characters also helps. You can deviate, but don't change their personalities. It's a fine line.
2. Should Elsa, in all honesty, have a man in her life as a Disney character?
Elsa is, arguably, Disney's most unique protagonist. Many compare her story with her powers and all to that of a LGBT story of coming out, and many like her more because of that. So should Elsa stay single if they ever decide to continue Frozen?
I say it's good either way. You can have a strong female lead with a romance. I don't think it'd ruin her character or her image. But, if she didn't, she'd still be the independent icon of Disney. Win/win.
Besides, that's what fanfiction's for.
3. Should there be a Frozen 2?
No sequel they make will be as good as Frozen was. I've accepted that. And I don't care. I want more. Fans want more. Everyone wants more. And that's not to mention how much friggin' money they'll make if they do.
So should there be? Financially speaking, yes. Many snooty critics will raise their nose and say "Masterpieces should be left alone, unexploited." But then again, how do you walk away from a gold mine with only one chunk in your hand?
My opinion: Make a sequel. Bring back Chris Buck and J. Lee (Or at least keep Lee on screenplay….she did FANTASTIC). And obviously the Lopez's want to make another Frozen (see their acceptance speech at the Oscars.)
I say screw it. Give fans what they want. Have fun with it. And make a bajillion dollars by doing it, Disney.
4. Will it blend?!
Absolutely.
5. What is your favorite Disney movie?
Tie between Tarzan, Frozen and Beauty and the Beast.
6. What is your favorite animated movie?
Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Were-Rabbit. I watched that sh**, literally, fifty times. Love it to death.
7. What is the worst movie you've ever seen?
I watched a movie with my friends once called "Thankskilling 3". It scarred me for life. It was horrible to a point where it wasn't funny. Seriously. It's not Troll 2 or The Room. It's just a steaming pile of horse crap. Trust me when I tell you it's not worth watching.
8. What is the most disappointing movie you've ever seen?
Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part 2.
To avoid spoilers, I won't go into why. But, man. Screw that.
9. Where'd you come up with Ignus' character?
Some people think Ignus is a reflection of myself. Much as that'd appeal to me, it is in fact not true. I simply tried to make Ignus as human as possible. And by doing that, his character sort of spoke to me. It wasn't "How should Ignus react to this", it was "Ignus reacts like this because he's this way". It was a very liberating feeling.
10. How do I get reviews/favorites/follows for my story?!
You write a story and pray that people like it. And then, if you're luckier still, they'll want to tell you about it.
I am extremely lucky to have such amazing fans of my story. Truly. Thanks for giving me the pleasure of presenting my humble works to you.
Also, by a massive majority, Manen will be making a return. (To FletchDoug – I will do my best to make it less awkward than that chapter was.) Which is a huge relief to me, as I really liked writing him. Also, Manen Skygge means "Moon Shadow" in Norwegian. I thought it'd reflect his white and black pelt well.
'Till next time, stay awesome.
