Café Fanfic VI

Fan Fiction Fear Factory

Since Ataru has been occupied, I've taken up his duties in maintaining the café for at least this month. Just like the previous ones, we're going to talk about fan-fiction (yours). The basic ground rules are the same. Please restrict this to stuff from your fan-fiction, but aside from that, no pressure. You can suggest, make observations, but no condemning other people's work and "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer. Though, for this one, humor me and give it a go.

October's topic: Just in time for Halloween, we're gonna be discussing fear! What scares your characters? Why does it scare them? How do they deal with it?

Now, fear can be anything. It could be something or someone, cosmic or domestic. Perhaps your character had a childhood fear that carried over into adulthood. What triggered that fear as a child? How does it affect them now? Perhaps they have a fear of power, either gaining or losing power. Why is that? What do they fear would happen if they gained/lost power? Perhaps they fear themselves. They fear the darkness that could dwell within them. Did something happen, or they did something that clued them in to that darker side? Perhaps they are afraid of others. Perhaps they had a bad run-in with a gang of Wookiees and now Wookiees scare them. Do they fear what others may think of them?

Everyone has fears. Even the fearless have fears. Those fears may be little more than the fear that others would find out that they're not so fearless, but it is still a fear. So, what makes your characters' skin crawl? What do they hide from? What gets their heart racing? This can be in any format you chose; prose, article, short script of dialogue. But, reveal your character's fears to the galaxy! Then, give them their blankie, give them a hug, and tell them that everything will be all right.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:41, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
