I Am Looking For Advice
8 years ago
Good evening everyone,
Over the past nine years, I have dabbled in short stories here and there. It usually involved characters I've made throughout the RPG's/MMO's that I have played. Lately, as my growth within the furry community has continued and expanded, I feel that it's time I finally give several of my original furry characters their own back story, and I would actually like to post those stories here on FA.
Having seen many extremely talented writers on FA, I thought I might reach out to any and all that would be willing, and see if I could ask for some advice on constructing a compelling and flushed out story for each of my characters, as I'm certainly not a creative writing expert. I would welcome any and all advice, tips, and just general discussion regarding the topic of story writing. Any help is certainly appreciated!

I've been astounded too because I'd be writing something about my character and what is going to happen and then its as if my character takes over my writing and takes his own path, making his story as he wants to tell it. The event changes and things arise from that, new questions that have to be answered, explanations of what's going on or what will happen. So much more opens up, even new characters suddenly exist and come into play because their role in my characters story has become important enough to tell. It's a real journey into the depth of my characters.
It's one reason why I take so long to complete my stories, because they keep growing and get more detailed.
Also I like this comment so much I'm going to make a journal out of it. Hope this helped you.
