Loses inspiration, goes back to tumblr

These are great. It is really a fun way to broaden a character. I personally have a file with bios of all of my main, reoccurring, and generally important characters. For basic side characters I document information like names, titles, skills, appearances, personality, importance to story or characters, relations, jobs, miscellaneous notes, and other mundane information.

For my mains and other important characters I go into a lot more detail. This is my current standard starting info sheet for each VIP:

Name:

Gender:

Age:

Race:

Appearance:

Time with the collective:

Relations:

Skills:

Hobbies:

Job:

Favourite food:

Weapon of choice:

Personality:

Secret:

Fear:

Pleasure:

Origin:

History:

Role in story:

Additional notes:

I will take this form and add to it additional information about the character. Not every character has information in each spot. And there are characters with information that the reader will likely never know about. I personally find it much more enjoyable to write stories around characters then simply creating characters for specific stories. After a while, they just sort of write themselves and you start discovering things about your characters that you would have never guessed. It realy creates some interesting scenes.

Mohtz on Society6

So quite a while ago I discovered my account was shut down by tumblr. I was given no reason or word at all abiut it and was not aware until I attempted to log in after a break. It took nine months for support to finally send me an automated response to my inquiry of my account. After again asking why it was taken down my account was restored afte rtelling me it found nothing wrong.

Okay.

Not sure what happened but my avatar was removed by them? Haha it was a literal snowflake with the blog's name.

I must have been hacked?

That aside things look the same around here. Fun to see all the cool art out there again.

Getting real tired of this trigger happy fandom

Okay, I’ve seen a huge angry response to that one line from this week’s TJ chapter. It goes as follows:

“If fanfiction is Beau’s outlet, I’m not sure I want to know what issues he’s working through.”

I laughed at this line, because it was CLEARLY a jab at the CONTENTS of Beau’s writing, NOT ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE WAS WRITING.

Unfortunately, it seems that everyone in this fandom missed the point, and the writers for PB are being attacked.

I’m going to address a few issues here.

1) “Why doesn’t PB ever promote fanfiction?!??”

They can’t. Promoting non-canon events causes fans to wonder what counts as legitimate and what doesn’t. It also brings up legal issues like copyright and fair use. Please stop badgering the writers about this.

2) WHY WOULD THEY SAY SOMETHING SO MEAN?!

Let’s dissect the statement:

“IF fanfiction is Beau’s OUTLET, then I don’t want to know what kind of ISSUES he’s working through.”

This statement clearly refers to the way Beau uses fanfiction, not just fanfiction as a whole. He clearly has deep-seated psychological problems that cause him to write strange and violent scenarios. THIS STATEMENT WAS NOT THROWING SHADE AT FANFICTION AUTHORS.

3) “PB writers hate us because we’re COMPETITION!!1!”

Ah, yes, I’m sure that the PB workers being paid to write for you are intimidated by your 38-part Drake Walker smut fanfiction. Get real, guys. Why would the PB authors see us as “competition?” I’ve had a fanfiction written about a novella I published, and I just felt flattered.

In conclusion: STOP acting as though everything PB does is a personal attack on you, guys.
