Minako is a person.

Really... Because I hate Mary Sues... And they're far from well rounded and realistic...

[mare]

There are certain characters in fanfiction that might rub you the wrong way and that is totally because of the way you have written the character. If Minako isn't a mary sue that's what you did and I have a feeling she isn't a Mary Sue lol

[nicksgal]

There's mixed opinion on that, if I remember correctly.

But according to the Mary Sue Litmus, she isn't.

I think at points she's mary sue-ish... but I'll stop talking about my dislike of Minako (I agree though mare that the character is well written to evoke emotion from a reader whether it be like or dislike).

I like Renee... I LOVE her flitty nature ... heehee... oooh is she the "bad guy" LOL.. could this be why I'm drawn to her??? Though I don't like Justin... but that might be bias on who he's based on .. LOL

[nicksgal]

Of that she's a snot and ou're drawn to snotty people. Joking.

Well... Justin's pretty cruel anyway.

[Purpura Lipstick]

but I like cruel characters *points to Corin*... *shrugs* I really do think it's just who he's based on ... if he was an original character he'd probably be my favorite but I have a bias to Justin and that's awful of me I know. But hey ...don't I WANT to write him in 00Carter... hrm...

*scratches head* I think I'm confusing myself with this.. LOL

[nicksgal]

If you an write him, he's a great villianous villany. If you have to read about him, your brain aiutomatically maes the connection. That must be it.

[mers]

congratulation s Dee! you deserve it

[nicksgal]

Thank you, Mersey.

Maybe that's it! :-D

[nicksgal]

Wow.... I was typing fast when I wrote that.

Anyway, yay for bed. Wish me luck on finishing my sketchbook... Sometime before one...

I think every female lead can be Mary Sue-ish at times.  Most of them end up being the love interest of a Backstreet Boy, and if you're going to make her the love interest, you have to give her enough good qualities to be attractive to the guy (not just in looks, but in everything) - otherwise it's not realistic.  That doesn't mean the character is a Mary Sue.

I can tell there's also a lot more to this story than this one original character.

[nicksgal]

Well, I think, given the circumstances, the resulting pairing makes a great dal of sense. As I've said before, a lot of the basis for this story is circumstancial .

Well, I like to think there's more to in than Minako, but... In the end, I suppose it's subjective.

[mare]

okay here's another question for you!

I know you mentioned that you are reworking some of the earlier chapters, if you could go back and change one thing in this story what would it be? I mean leaving a character out or adding someone else or deleting a chapter? What made you decide to rework the ones you are now?

[nicksgal]

Well.... Hmmm... I would probably introduce AJ earlier. But his character and roll is fitting for where he is introduced, so I like how that turned out, but.... He does appear rather late compared to the others.

Well, I'm reworking them because I feel there's some things I didn't address well enough. One that was pointed out to me was what exactly a demon looks like. So I changed that... Minako and Renee also had a lack of sown relationship, so I fixed that.... Just some things here and there I felt could be improved upon.
