Oh look. Another thread that isn't begging and pleading for something.

This is technically designed for touhou OCs, However creative writing theory applied here is universal.

About 5% of what is said is only applicable to touhou. The rest is very pertinent to the brony fanfic community here.

 

Seriously, I really feel appalled with all these "give me ideas" threads because:

a)writers are all about the ideas and the craft of elaborating in said ideas. If you can't do the most fundamental thing a writer is meant to do then what in the world are you doing?

 

b)the ideas and advice given out lead to such cliches and many rookie mistakes that I just feel many of you new writer need to look into something called. Creative writing theory.

 

Which is an understanding of one's readership and expressing your understanding in your writer's craft. The understanding of the cause and effect between writers and readers. The very greatest of writers are essentially masters of mind-reading as they hold a sensitivity to a person's sensibilities.

It's not a saying to go by in the first place. It was a name to a method of flame warring that was used in the early brony 4chan wars.To love and tolerate is to be non-conflicting and act passive-aggressive so that the hater cannot latch on to anything to retaliate with.

The love is the sword. you attack with talks of hugs and friendship. As if they were hurtful.

The tolerance is the shield. you ignore whatever the hater says.
