I just make a character, plop em in a RP, and just have fun with it. That's why I will rarely play canon characters. OCs are funner. But honestly, if you read all the crap I wrote, I have made some dumb mistakes.
I'm not quite imaginative enough to create a something worthy of being called a story. I'm decent at *being* a character, because I put myself in the character's place. But writing? IT CANNOT BE DONE.
