![]() Vis at LiveJournal Usually, I write original stories, not one torn from books I've read, therefore, fanfiction is like Greek to me, but I try to make the best of it. Even if that means going through a few cliche's every now and then. That's what they're for isn't it? You know, once you write a story and tons of people read it, they're eventually going to make cliche's out of your original plot, either that or they're going to just copy your story and changed names. But no matter which way you go, an authors world is full of potential cliche's and worse, the thousands upon millions of cliche's already out there. It's terrifying that people actually write those, but I'm one to talk, I sometimes use them, too. There's nothing wrong with it as long as you make it your own, go ahead, spice it up. Personally, I find writing a relaxation method, I use harbored emotions to fill in the blanks and try to incorporate real emotions into my stories, not just smoke-filled eyes. There's nothing that'll stop me from trying to make something better, I have battles with myself about various things several times a year, lately they've become more power-consuming and so it takes me a while to learn the lesson and break the barrier, but I do break walls. I remember when I'm writing used to revolve around what I could pick off of the worst stories, but I've evolved... into what, exactly? I have no clue. Possibly smarter, that is always good. Because the more you know, the more you have to write about, but don't tie it all into one story, it will just make everything smaller and soon your world will collapse... VIS |
