YOU in Your Stories

My Keep the Faith one-shots are more me than I can sometimes handle.

Frank's insanity in A Killer In Me Is A Killer In You is part of me too,
as in, people have gotten under my skin so bad that I've actually been at the same point as he is in the story, but less exagerated.

Lynn in Ready For Your Love is much like me, too.

I keep my characters too close to my heart. It gets me stuck in my stories sometimes, just because it gets too personal. :shifty

When witing Porcelina, I realised after I wrote the part about the Imps (which is true to me when I was a couple of years older than Porcelina), that I was basically going to turn her into a young me anyway, so I decided to do it conciously. Therefore, everything about her character, all the little details of the things she imagines, is afraid of, what happens to her in school (apart from Gino - I never had an imaginary friend just like him, but I did have imaginary friends) is me - only at around age seven or eight rather than five.

Conversely, Porcelina's mother is me in ten year's time.

Interesting how that's turned out, innit?

In Let's Burn Our Dreams Into The Skyline, Linnea is pretty much myself, only she leads a far more interesting life that I would kill to have.

Well "Semi Based on a Semi True Story" (which will most likely be out next month:D)
I's a semi fictional autobiography so ya I'm me in the story! lol

My first KTF chapter called, "Someone Out There Loves You,"'s main character, Edward Gabriel Ballato-Way is based off me as well. Meek, sullen, sad, and all. :mrgreen:

Felix from The School Of Self Destruction is more me than any other character I've written.
'Cept I'm not a guy...

My character for the Sweet Children fanfic, Aimee, has that 'fuck-the-world' attitude that I have. Hers is a bit more exaggerated than mine, though. XD

All my characters tend to have a little bit of me in them, just different aspects of it, or sometimes similar. I think all of my main female characters are vegetarian, for example. I don't know why, it's kind of force of habit.

I have a story called 'Blue and Yellow' which is basically me exactly, and most of the story is based off my experiences and real situations. The person at the beginning of the story is me, anyway, considering I change her into who I would like to be, in a way.

My stories are too personal for my own good XD

I'm making a new one with me in it based on another fan's experience
and like the egotistical brat I am, I'm making it me. :XD

My teenage male :XD Cory is based on me. Or what I'd be like with testosterone :shifty

The one-shot I'm working on is based on a play I saw not too long ago, but I only got inspired by it as soon as I realised the metaphors in the play were me. :shifty

What's in a name?:

I don’t put myself in my stories and I don’t put parts of my personality in my stories. Not on purpose. That happens subconsciously when I write because avoiding it altogether would probably be impossible. I do put some of my own views here and there though.

I don’t know exactly what I base my characters on (except for the persons that are supposed to portray since I only have fan-fic on here). The traits that doesn’t belong to the real life persons I guess is coming from people around me and people that I’ve known. Some parts are inevitably from me of course but I never use my own characteristics intentionally.

Okay, so that’s partly not true anymore. x ] See, now I have a sort of autobiographical story (When The Black Bird Sings). And of course it’s me in the story. (Well, in the one-shots, it’s a collection of standalones.)

The rest is still true though. Except now I have original fiction stories too. And none of those characters are based of off me either. They aren’t based of off anyone in particular. I’ve pieced traits here and there together. They’re probably a mix of people I know and people I know about. And a few things I've "made up".

Sometimes in my stories I'll add bits and pieces of myself into characters; something I would do or have done or said. In one of my stories I have my main character excited about getting to use those little silver service bells, which I would.

In my stories, my characters are usually really self-conscious, like myself. It helps me that I've gone through so much tragedy, if that's what you'd call it, because it helps me write about these things.

Ahreya's physical being is partly based on me. Black shoulder-length hair, black eyes, and the height, we're both kinda short.
And almost all her actions are based on how I think I would act if I was in her situation.

I'm pretty sure that all of my characters, male or female have aspects of my personality and/or appearance. Mainly aspects that other people don't know about. I mean, they'd have to be a little like me in a way or I'd find it super hard to relate to them.
But I am writing a story with me in it. 'Cos I'm vain. :XD

Mostly everything about Liz in I'm Sorry, Joey is me.

And Mike's extreme reaction to the prank in Michael is based off how I get when I'm angry.
:shifty

I've never put me in stories. I've put people I wish I was, and people with similar descriptions, but not actually me. I think it's concieted.

^ I've never actually inserted myself with my looks and my name, but if I put any major aspects of myself in a story,
it's more like therapy and trying to work out emotions than any form of conceit...

I never put me in. I'm boring. I'd make a crappy character. :]
BUT, I will occasionally leak teeny-tiny inklings of myself into a character, like maybe how I might react in a certain situation, or how I see a certain aspect of the world.

Therapy fics don't work for me.
