Hmm... I can't imagine writing anything but fantasy... I mostly (try to) write about mythological creatures, but when I sit down and start to write a story, I write about the environment and then get stuck. My 'projects' are typically in-depth descriptions of caves or meadows or something and nothing else, usually because I have no idea how to introduce characters in a way that doesn't sound completely stilted and choppy. Does that answer your question?

[Suicune's Fire]

Did anyone ask you a question? XD

I know what you mean. I always tend to start stories off like that, but what I tend to do is if I talk about the environment, I find a way to incorporate a character into that by relating the character to the environment... Sort of like, I don't know...you come back to something you were describing before, but this time it's because it was disturbed by the character. For instance, you talked about the grass, the trees, the sky, the river...then go back to the grass for a second and mention how some of the blades of grass were being trampled on, or were moved aside when something came through. That's your introduction to the character. Either that or go through and with the last thing you describe (in this case, the river) mention the character.

Think about a movie. Similarly, movies don't typically introduce a character after showing off the environment and then making no connection. Usually there'll be some footage of, say, a really nice field, but then the wind starts blowing more, and the clouds start to darken, and then you see the camera angled at the character's hurrying feet dashing through grass, etc. Just write it as you see it in your head. Also, helps to have a plan. xD

Lol, I asked, silly xD (course I was a ninja and edited it in probably when you didn't notice, lolz)

And coolio--same here! Mostly fantasy, here ^^

And that's interesting that you write in environments like that :o Usually it's the other way around for me--I think of characters before setting (or with a vague setting) and sometimes plot. Haha, like with my katydid villain story xD But ya know, it's sure important to get the setting down as soon as possible ^^

[Suicune's Fire]

OH LOL I didn't see. XD

In other news, I put up a new pokémon story shortly before. It was one that's been completed for many months now but I finally decided to post it and see what people think. I may or may not continue it.
