User blog:Sharnathehedgehog/Sharna's tutorial on how to make a fan character good

M'kay. Here's what a fan character pretty much needs to be really good(Don't flame me, See bottom).

Design
Make sure you have a original design that's not like anyone else's. So, DON'T LIVE ON FDM AND CHARRIE MAKER. Anyone could copy your design, and get away with it. Try giving them hair that just looks awesome without making them look like you gave Sonic Amy's bangs and turned it green with clothes or something. With the clothes, try to come up with something from your imagination. Like, with her I tried making a set of clothes that would make her look like she was as old as she is without giving her clothes that you see everyday.

Story
When writing your character's story,try writing it WITH OUT going like this:

 is a hedgehog she/he grew up in  she/he has 3 sisters named  she/he is the most powerful being on earth--

See how that sounds horrible? No periods, just one long sentence. Try writing something nice like:

 is a green and pruple hedgehog, and love of . She/he enjoys, cooking, cleaning, and drawing. Her best friend is .

See how nice that sounds? It has multiple sentences, and isn't just one long paragraph sentence.

Love
I've been waiting for this part. Here's the thing, I know many people will flame me for this and disagree, BUT, it's totally okay to have your character in love with a Canon character-- as long as your not making them devote every damn waking moment to your character. That's bad. Of course, It's always easier to stick your character with another fan character. It gets you a free ticket around annoying people who whine that your being unoriginal. Two fancharacters are easy to work with, too. Of course, I had to learn my lesson from this. Sharna and Sonic were too lovey dovey, and I got flamed and attacked and everything. Sooooooooooo I changed Sharna's love to a FC. It's easier now, and I get flamed less.

Now People
Don't flame me for this. This is just how I believe a fan character should be like. ALL MEAN COMMENTS WILL BE HIDDEN.
