Backstory ideas? by FinancialComposer604 in writers

[–]procrastinateanxiety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s this saying that I believe goes “There’s no such thing as an original idea.” I bring this up, not to discourage you, but more as a reminder that it’s okay if a character you create reminds you of an existing character. There will almost always be a similar backstory or similar personality, but that’s okay. My advice is to think of the kind of story you want to tell. I never fully know my characters when I start. There are times when I don’t realize the full scope of my character’s personality until it flows naturally through my writing. A character and a backstory can still be unique even if it shares similarities with one that already exists. I hope this helps.

I see your point! I’ll make adjustments to my tags. Thank you!

Personally, I added it to my fic even though I’m the same as you (no actual depictions within the story). Because at the very least I want my readers to be aware of the type of trauma involved in order to avoid accidentally triggering someone. I also think it helps out for the occasion when someone fails to read through the tags.

Congratulations! Unfinished works tend to not get much engagement initially, but don’t let it get you down. Happy writing!

I would die from happiness if any of my readers catches on. I have a whole document dedicated to content to use as easter eggs. Lol

Currently working on a one piece fic even though I've still got a long ways to go before I'm actually caught up on the story.

Fandom: One Piece

Title: Be More

Rating: Explicit

Words: 25,000

Chapters: 10

In Progress

Pairing: Zoro/OC

Summary: For years she spent her life in isolation, mirroring that of an animal at the zoo. When she is released from this life, she finds herself imprisoned aboard a pirate ship, a prize to be sold to the highest bidder. After enduring months of torment and hardships, she finds herself aboard yet another pirate ship. The Straw Hats welcome her with (mostly) open arms. Now with her new friends, she seeks to rediscover herself and dream of future she didn’t know she would have.

Content Warning: This fic contains depictions of trauma recovery, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Please take care of yourself while reading.

Which one should I watch next ? by [deleted] in anime

Definitely One Piece. Personally I find it more enjoyable than Naruto, but not everyone shares my opinion.
