Strong Areas
Yow. Toughy. I don't really consider myself strong or weak in any areas. I guess people seem to like my levels of description and how well they fit into the narrative. People also like how my characters are super-packed with all different kinds of emotion. Me, personally? Well, I only ever go for a plot that got more twists and turns, and slows and fasts, and dialogue and ecetera than imaginable!
Weak Areas
I often rush an idea. I spill it onto a page in the fear that I'll lose it -- which I did, once (damn, Microsoft, damn!), but this often means I've got this very clever story in front of me, then I realise I just have to put so and so in.
Type of Writing
Well, I haven't been fan-ficcing on Serebii for that long, but I have had a variety of different projects. Adventure fics I find are always great fun, I've done a couple of one-shot tragedies, murder-mysteries, I've actually written scripts for plays, long-time projects (one coming very soon that I've yet to reveal), fantasy, humour (everyone loves a bit of humour), etc, etc. Essentially, I try to be varied.
Type of Characters
Mweh heh heh! People are often impressed by my characters. I never make them one-dimensional characters only existing for a reason. I have full, fully-fledged characters with multiple emotions. Take Kate, in my current story: so feisty, and yet suddenly, BAM!, you see her weakness.
Current Stories
The Uprising -- Link in my sig. Go on... you know you want to check it out. It's an action-adventure with mystery and humour and surprise and tragedy and etc. You'll love it. Honest!
Future Stories
*Cackles evilly* You'll see! And people in the Review Club will learn first. But don't worry, it will not take over my Uprising.
Writing Tips
1. No exactly where you want to take the story and it's characters but don't be too afraid to stray off every now and again. You'll be surprised at your own imagination.
2. If you're really struggling for writing ideas then write about something completely random. About anything. Don't care what you put down. You'll soon get your ideas back on track.
3. Always, no matter how dull you find it, try and describe things. It will make your creation seem much more real. eg) "He walked into the pokemon centre" is awful compared to "The sun shining brightly into his eyes, Robert eyed the golden globe adorning the pokemon centre nervously. But, he had a job to do. Briskly, Robert walked round the trickling fountain and through the pink, sliding doors so associated with pokemon centres the world over." Description isn't limited to sight and characters. Use all your senses, use adverbs, clever verbs, adjectives and anything else you can think of.
4. Never write a segment of the story because your forcing yourself too. It must be for your enjoyment. Or it'll be rubbish.
5. Love writing and leaving.
