By the way, if you're wondering, I'm Filipino. Because I know about Asian life, I incorporate it into my stories. I don't know a lot of the languages, but I do know a LOT of Tagalog, some Korean, and a bit of Japanese and Chinese. All my characters, unless specified, are Asian. :D

Here are some characters:

Clark: Khun from 2PM
Dara: Aya Ueto
Jimmy: Guk Jang Mun
Ollie: Kim Do Hoon
Nico: Solki
Jet: Choi Jong-Hoon from FT Island
Joe:
Emy: Park Yong Hee
Craig:
Adam:
Aiden:

BTW, what they're wearing is what I imagine their outfits to look like.

Anyhoos, here are some story ideas that are brewing in my head while I continue to write the second / third chapter for I'm Romantic, Not Whipped Cream. Yeahh, I'm super late on that, but school's eaten me alive. The story ideas don't have names yet because I don't believe in giving wordless stories names. SRSLY? All you have is an idea, and you put a random title up that might not have anything connection to the story, except for "it sounds cool." You know what's cool -- an actual story.

Story Idea #1:
Clark and Dara's marriage. Clark's preoccupied with a 'friend', while Dara tries to hold their marriage together -- maybe for her parents, maybe for herself. What concerns her is that everyone's happy, even if it means, she's not.

I'm definitely doing this story. Clark and Dara's relationship is the most solid relationship -- besides Ollie and Nico's -- that I've written, so I will not let them die. The 'friend' may or may not be Jimmy, but I think Clark's already had too much drama with Jimmy that it'd be tiring. Plus, I think Jimmy would have a clue that Clark's wrecked his heart a time too many. But Dara's gonna get some lovin', from Clark and someone else. This story will be very Asian love-square drama-like. It's gonna PWN.

Story Idea #2:
A relatively known band plays at Adamsville. The lead musician recieves a plushie from a girl, and thinking it's fate, immediately macks the girl right in front of the girl's boyfriend. OH SNAP.

It's better than it sounds. I was thinking of having it Ollie and Nico, but ehhhh. Because their story is connected with JJANG's story, it would be weird that there are two bands. So hmm. This is gonna be a kind of angsty-yet-cracky story.

Story Idea #3:
A guy is very confident in his homosexuality until OMONA, he falls for a girl.

I got this idea when I was watching f(x)'s Lachata video. WHOMG, Amber is hella cool. I'm basing the girl character on Amber, but the girl is much more feminine. This is gonna be a crack story.

Story Idea #4:
A guy spies resident football/whateversport jock holding hands with some guy. Weirdness ensues.

Hmmm. This might have the same kind of tone as You Look Like a Vampire, but this will be more of my current style, which is cracky. Confusing, yes.

As you can see, I'm more into straight stories due to my huge obsession with dramas, which are all straight because hmm, homosexuality in Asia is kinda hush-hush.

I do have something to say about characters. I try my hardest to make characters that are damn well different from the norm. I absolutely detest the character that's either:

a.) emo / tough / i'm so misunderstood, i listen to not-so-known-but-they-really-are bands and i don't believe in God because i'm misunderstood, and my author will make me cut / do drugs
b.) crazy / random / like omg let's go play tag and whatevs even though i'm your friggin' mom and what are the fuckin' odds that mom's are always like this?
c.) serious / angry / "you're so gay i'm disowning you" or "i don't condone your relationship with that boy, jane, because he's a bad guy"
d.) creepy fag hag

SRSLY? Get some new characters. I've seen the misunderstood, atheist gay kid millions of times. What's so bad about believing in God? Why do all your characters not believe in God, unless they're devout, DNW GAYNESS parents? And if the parents do understand, they're the cliche "like oh-em-gee, gay son, it's like totally kewl you like men!" Overdone. And if the parents aren't there, there's always that stupid fag hag who's like "you're gay? we should be friends!" and has ADD. Why do all your characters have to be ANGRY or HYPERACTIVE? There's such a thing as normal. Besides, with your gay kid stories, isn't your point to show that being gay is A-OKAY? Why do you have to make it weird by adding unnecessary cliches? GAY PEOPLE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE, TOO!

Which brings me to another argument -- If you want acceptance, you're not gonna get it by mercilessly pounding into the public's minds that you're different. The public wants normalcy, and if you want acceptance, you have to know that. If not, you're a big, fat attention whore.

All in all, I'm not saying I don't have those kinds of characters. It's impossible for me to create a new kind. My characters will always have some kind of quality of cliche. I'm just saying, there're some characters that are overdone.
