Fic Talk > General Discussion
Question of the day part 3 :)
FrickingKaos:
I get ideas for stories all the time from all over the place. Usually when I'm listening to music. The college idea came to me while listening to Asher Roth actually. I thought it would be a neat idea and I haven't seen a story like that in a while.
Picking ideas is usually easy, I will talk it over with my best friend and go from there. If I decide to write it, I play around with the idea and make up characters.

Not far, it's just fiction. So you know whatever happens it's not real. At least, as long as you portray the person realistically without making anything up about the person in question. I would never make up stuff about anyone and put it in a fic. If I write someone in, I write them true to life. What happens after that is purely fictional, though, obviously. I'm sure some may or may not like what they see about themselves of course.
Though... it does lead to the quote in my siggy.
"Don't annoy the writer. They may put you in a book and kill you." - Anonymous
It's well known that authors write what they know at least somewhat, whether it's places, or people. Sometimes in a flattering way where good things happen to the person, sometimes bad things happen. Well known authors do it, as do nobodies. Otherwise it wouldn't even be a quote.
It's harmless really.
For example - in a round robin parody, Nick dies in every chapter. Do I hate him? No. Do I want him to die? No. It's all done in humor and fun. :) Isn't that the point of fiction?

Maybe even double rainbows!
It's no big secret that I get a kick out of basing characters on the real "characters" I've encountered both online and in real life. I also enjoy giving celebrities I don't like, such as Justin Timberlake and Paris Hilton, unflattering cameos in my stories.
Isn't fanfic fun? :)

Not taking sides here but just as an example, in one of my stories I had Lauren murdered....do esn't mean I want that to happen. I don't hate her nor do I wish death on her by any means....it was just for the purpose of the story.

Yup and we've both been murdered in a fic. That's the joy in it, I laughed so hard at our deaths LOL. It's just great to see what creative minds can come up with.
