User blog comment:Rhonda the stalker fan!/Opinions: Why I Like Total Drama Fanfictions/@comment-26157209-20141120162055

One of my favourite genres when I read novels are coming of age/teen/drama-y stories. If only because I find out of most genres the characters in these stories always grow, they always evolve. You learn to love the characters in these stories, you learn to understand where they've come from- why they are who they are. And then you watch as they become a better (hopefully) version of themselves by the end of the story. When I read T.D Fanfictions I am looking for this kind of growth.

When I say I am a lover of plot in our stories it's because I really am. If I feel like your stories are riddled with joke characters and nothing more I won't read it as soon as I can. But if I'm feeling in the mood for a good laugh, sure!

One of my favourite parts of when a character gets eliminated is comparing who they are, when they leave down what ever huliminating method the writer could come up with, is comparing THAT person, to the person they are in their bio, and moreso in their character arche-type. Have they changed? Depending on the writer, the answer will be different. Some will keep characters status-quo and not develope the character into someone different. Which is fine, like I said before these stories tend to be more humour-based, with ~joke~ characters. However some writers may start with a character whose a goth, and very obviously hates people and then grow them into someone who is capeable of loving a sweet, good-hearted guy and is friends with people who they would have never even thought possible.

Total Drama gives the format, and the situation for everything. Two characters no matter who they are, how different they are can ALWAYS end up as a couple, or friends, or enemies. It's completely based on how the writer chooses to tell that characters story. I think this is why some users (rhonda)... enjoy shipping so much. Because anything is possiblle and nothing is impossible!

I think I completely changed topics from you wrote about... Sorry Rhonda </3 But merp.

Helpful Tip of the Day: Although you are writing ONE Total Drama Story, you are actually writing a story for each and every character within in that story. They should all feel like they have a beginning, middle and an end. <3
