Check In #4

[rubytuesday5681]

This is an optional activity, with no deadlines. Answer now, answer later, or skip it completely.


Hopefully by now everyone has had a chance to at least start thinking about what they want to create in their fanwork, and ideally, many of us have gotten started. If you have gotten started and you're willing to share a little about what you've done so far, please take a look at Check In #3 if you haven't done so already.

This check-in is about characters. Just about every fanwork has at least some focus on characters. Obviously, stories (fic and podfic) are about our beloved bandom characters, art depicts these characters visually, and mixes often communicate one character's thoughts or ideas or are themed around what a certain pairing's relationship might be like.

Tell us about the characters that your big bang focuses on. Are they your favorite characters in bandom? What made you decide to focus on them? If your fanwork is an AU of some kind, what is the background of the characters in your fanwork's universe? If your fanwork has a pairing in it, tell us why you chose that pairing. What is it about that pairing that appeals to you? Share with us your thoughts and feelings about the characters around which your fanwork centers.

Oooh, I love that yours takes place in Thailand. It sounds really interesting. If you're taking questions, what has drawn the two of them to Thailand of all places and how do they meet?

And how brave to sign up for BBB as your first foray into bandom! :)

The intro takes place in New Jersey, and after a lot of introduction, Frank and Gee meet there (in an airport, and very unromantically) :) Thailand was not really where either of them wanted to be in the first place, but it grows on them eventually. It's for supernatural reasons that both are told to go there. The same character forces both of them to go, actually. Not telling who though.

I was an idiot to sign up so quickly, but with 6000+ words in my first draft I think I'm doing ok so far. We'll just have to see where BBB takes me :D
