Good idea.

OCs meet their author. What to do? by Laburnum on 2008-11-23 01:07:00 UTC Reply

Now, when Stormsong and Skyfire reach the OFUR for the big end-of-mass-mission party (I'm getting to it, I swear) they'll inevitably meet Snowspine, their original author. Awkward situation all round, as those present for the roleplay party or who have seen certain pics on my devArt account will know. Any suggestions for how to handle their interactions once their consciences kick in?

Also, I had the idea that since she created them and they're in the Word Worlds, they should have some sort of pseudo-psychic connection to her - preferably something that sounds cool at first but is utterly useless, at least until the Obligatory Yearly Emergency that all OFUs go through. Would that work?

I know that if I met my Original Characters, it would bring out my maternal instinct and I'd be all motherly (or rather, grandmotherly) to them. And then they would get scared.

Thing is, I base my OCs on people in my life, so hopefully it's more like meeting with a friend.

As for psuedo-psychic connections, I suppose LINK would be something like that? You know, that syndrome described in HFA?

S&S have the additional problem that they're still kind of hung up on the fact that in their original story Snowspine, via the major Big Bad, effectively had Stormsong raped to death. (In a much less graphic and more tasteful way than the badfic we spork, but still. OUCH.)

And then there's Molly and Moses. How's Snowspine going to cope with the fact that she's now foster-grandma to a six-year-old cannibal?

What does LINK do? I can't find it.

It's in HFA. by Lily Winterwood on 2008-11-23 17:20:00 UTC Reply

Actually, to be precise, it's in the sequel.

Here's the Chapter where LINK appears

Maybe one could slightly reject Snowpine? by Artic Blade on 2008-11-23 02:01:00 UTC Reply

As in, they wanna feel slightly independent, however they still move exactly as she wants, but still claim to be independent? Or maybe she can only change their appearances? Give Skyfire purple hair I say! Or pink, go with pink...
