Date: 8 August 2005 07:53 pm (UTC)I know what you mean XD I used to draw maps for things I imagined in my head XD And it wasn't for any RPG either, just for my pleasure XD
Well....I don't know about that, really. Fanart is very different from fanfic. Usually an image is more about eyecandy than exploring a character. Of course there can be a story behind the image and usually I do have stories for them or they spring from the things I thought up....but there are images that are nothing more than eyecandy. Good example of that would be the image of Ritsu. There is nothing behind it whatsoever except me trying my hand at drawing him. Fanart doesn't necessarily tell stories which is what fanfic has to do. Of course a doujinshi is an exception to that, being an image story of sorts XD In a way fanart is something completly different from both fanfic and RPG, both of which tell stories and leave the 'look' of things up to imagination. On the other hand fanart deals with how things look like and leaves the story up to imagination.
Yeah, that is true XD Apparently males and females are interested in different things entirely XD
You know, I love FRPs for the very fact that characterization is not something set in stone. Yes, you start from the canon characterization but then suddenly during the course of playing the characters grow and change in an entirely unpredictable way. Which is something I don't think happens in fics and would be probably unacceptable. Actually....I don't believe I read a fic which shows how a character slowly changes from one thing into something entirely different.
And why not a real RPG? Well, for starters because not every world has an official RPG and creating rules from scratch is a bit tiresome. But that's not all. In a way those OCs in FRPs are more like OCs in fics than PCs in RGPs. They're start out as supporting characters (because your canon character needs parents, friends, etc.) who just happen to grow to be more, really. And quickly you start loving them just as much as canon characters if not more.
Well, yeah. I love creating characters for RPGs. And have a LOT of trouble creating characters for FRPs, which I guess proves just how different those type of characters are.
Bah. Every fandom is full of elitist. That is rather stupid but what can you do? Personally, I don't care about being a part of the fandom, just about having fun which is what FRPs and RPGs are to me. Who needs a fandom anyway? XD
It was very interesting :3 I loved it.
