It was a 'future' plan. Like, something that'd happen in the long run. a few years down the track and all that. XD

Hey guys, I have a question. o wo

So I'm writing a story and I'm stuck in a rut. What would the characters be doing normally on their free days? Like, when not fighting or something. o wo  

[Zorc James]

I am currently very lost...  

[Zorc James]

What should I name my character, since she is from England...  

[stickdude]

Beatrice. o wo

@Lunatic: Unless their names are Edward and Bella, they probably have hobbies. Let them read, cook, go hiking, or otherwise enjoy themselves somehow. XD

But what about like, after school? They're high schoolers, and I think writing about their classes would be boring, right? o wo  

[Rednal]

Depends on how interesting the classes are. XD After school... clubs, activities, fighting evil as part of a secret organization... all of the above combined... *CoughSEESCough* There's lots of options! Start with character personalities and go from there. ^^

It's not that hard to write halfway-decent fanfics. ^^ It's the good ones that are a challenge.

That is true. one of mine went all over the place that I ust stopped due to not knowing what the hell I was doing.  

[They Call Me Lunatic_]

Just normal classes. o wo What are good clubs? The clubs used in the Persona games, are those pretty much real examples of actual school clubs in Japan? o wo

I don't want to make every chapter a fight because that would feel very villain of the week. o wo  

[Rednal]

Basically, there's athletic and cultural clubs, yeah. Traditional culture (and Tankery, in one anime...), or sports. Plus the basics, like book clubs and all. Anything that has a few members and can vaguely support some school-approved notion works. XD  

[They Call Me Lunatic_]

I see, I see. Well at least I've got one thing I could write about. o wo  

[Rednal]

When in doubt, make like Haruhi and create your own club. ^^  

[They Call Me Lunatic_]

Nah, this story's more of a shounen. Only I want to toy with it as much as I can, like how people actually kill people and hot blooded-ness will get you nowhere by itself. o wo  

[Zorc James]

lol, that would be funny. Very funny.
I want to have her (Naming her Isabella probably) be a teacher for Yasogami.
