dahlia_moonSo that twilightathon story is coming together nicely. So far I have over 1,000 words written and I'm now just trying to wrap it up because I think I have written everything that I have wanted to write. I just don't know how to end it... I'm pretty excited about this Twilight story though; unintentionally I have included a missing scene from Twilight ( well the prompt actually called for it) and answered some of my own questions that I have had while reading and rereading Twilight to my own interpretation. I just hope that it makes sense...and that I don't actually screw up canon. Because I like the canon.
I'm really worried about my characterization. Good characterization is everything to me. That's what really makes a fic either good or bad from my point of view. It might have a few grammatical/spelling mistakes, but I can easily overlook those because I can forget about what sort of mechanical error the author had, but if the character isn't similar to its fandom counterpart, it'll turn me off the story. I'm in the fandom because I like those characters how the original author had intended them to be, and if you mess with those characters' traits without any reasonable explanations or visible growth throughout the fic, If the author doesn't pay much attention to her/his characters, and just makes them say whatever without questioning if they're IC or OOC, that won't make the story perfect to me. No matter if it's perfectly polished in everything else...I'll only remember the characters and their actions from the story. That's what will stick out in my mind.
I'm really worried about my characterization here because it involves me writing the Cullen family together and some of them are deep, complex persons and I don't want to mess with the personalities that Ms. Meyer gave them...because that's why I fell in love with them in the first place.
I want to write them the way Ms. Meyer would write them. I guess that's asking for too much?
