User blog:DJ Spenstar/Sometimes I get stuck that way

I didn't start TDIn with a winner in mind, or with all the personalities set up, even. I don't write my episodes with a particular elimination in mind, and sometimes I get stuck that way. I try to let my character personalities speak for themselves. I put them in certain scenarios, and given the personality, figure out how they respond. Halle, for example, is smart and strategic, albeit harsh at times, and undoubtedly mean to her fellow players. But as Heather said, she's only playing the game the best way she knew how to. That's not good. I need to make her more antagonistic. Or do I? Maybe I should let Craig take the reins instead. Maybe.

The one area where I have ever been criticized is in character edits. Danny, my Owen edit, for example, is Owen with a new shirt and blue eyes, but given Owen's body structure, other kinds of edits, such as skin tone, would be tedious and long. I think it was smart of Nalyd Renrut to give his Owen edit a beard and call him a hobo. My proto-Bridgette edit also stank, but I did fix Amy's design up. But I DID make some works of art, namely Daisy, Halle, Damien, and Craig. I also can't believe that TDIn has its own category where the TDP category was, you know, underneath the "Blog Posts" category to the far left of the site. AWESOME!

If I ever had to give advice, it's to learn from other writing. I took quite a few of my ideas thus far from TDP, so thank you Nalyd! Great fanfics inspire other great fanfics, what can I say? Sprinklemist's Total Drama: Boney Island is another amazing fanfic, I love reading it, but I don't end up with ideas for my own, like I do with TDP. Oh well, can't get inspired from everything. But Sprinklemist, I can garuntee you that someday, possibly in the near future, someone will read TD:BI and be inspired.

What I want most of my fanfic is for other writers here to read it and be inspired. Having a guest star as one of the players (Matt Tollin) is, to my knowledge, unprecedented in this Wikia, so I may be starting a trend. Who knows?

Also, I need a word of advice. Amy, I want her to be with someone in TDIn, but I don't know who. You can see evidence of other relationships in TDIn, and I want Amy to end up with someone. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!
