    Haha, thats a bad summary truthfully, but never the less it is still a pretty good read. There is no in your face yaoi, its just more emotionally driven.

    Wow. Just wow. I think that's a great example of REAL writing for all of you crappy writers here at DLP. There should be a law or something making it so that every fanfiction should include that line in it somewhere.


    On Topic:

    It's been mentioned before, but warning lights and klaxons go off when anyone mentions OC in more than a minor role in fanfiction. There's a whole lot of people who won't even touch anything with OCs in it, no matter story (there's even a semi-large number of the 'tards over there at FF.net who do this). Thing is, people like reading about places, things, and especially characters they already know about (which is why they read fanfiction in the first place). Unfortunately, this makes it so that most OCs (even if they're one of the few who aren't horribly written) are already disliked from the get-go.

    If you think you can still do it, then all the power to you! Just keep in mind that there are a few more hurdles that you're gonna have to surpass if you write an OC-centered piece of fanfiction. I wish you the best of luck.
