scarletmorning: (Fado is writing fanfiction)
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, One Piece, why so awesome?

On another note; self, if you go to the library, you're there to research, not to write fic. Even if it's Fadia/Vigarde and it's terribly fun. Seriously.

<3 It makes so much fun to write Fadia and Vigarde. Though I have to admit, I'm never too sure about my characterisation; I don't mean that I don't know how to characterise them (they are quite alive and ready in my head), but it's more a tiny doubt if people won't recognize them. The problem is this; in-game the brokings and the others are in their forties (at least.). In those two fics I wrote Fadia and Vigarde are (approximately) 8/10 and 19/21. They will not be the same persons at those ages as they are at forty. People change over the time. The difficutly is now to find a characterisation that shows the difference while also showing similarities. Essential character traits, so to speak. It's far easier to do that for Fadia, but Vigarde is kinda... tricky. I don't know. I have the sneaking suspicion that I make him too teasing (I love good banter and teasing in fic). Well, nobody can argue that he can never be teasing since we barely see anything of his true personality in canon (additionally, canon is an extreme situation with that war and stuff). Hrmmmm.... Oh well, I love how he is at the moment. Have to think about that more.
