13. You're allowed to like something that isn't well-made. We're all entitled to a little braincandy every so often, aren't we? Most of the Eragon critics I know only bitch about the fans who read it and boast about it like Paolini is the god of fantasy novels or something. No one minds a fan who likes it and acknowledges that it's not very well-written.

20. This is the internet, no one cares where you went to school or if you went to school at all. It has no bearing in fandom whatsoever. It's not like anyone can tell if you're homeschooled or not, you know?

26. OH MY GOD JDSFHASKLHF I LOVE YOU

13. Maybe I could take after his model a bit. In that it doesn't have to be deep, but entertaining.

But then again, I might botch it and never get a fandom out of it. Shit.

I mean, come on. How awesome would it be to participate in a RP with a character you made?

It depends on your audience. =] Preteens will eat up the cliche stuff like no one's business, but older people are much harder to please. Fans of a certain genre expect certain things from the books they read, so you need to give them something familiar-tasting if you want them to buy it. A novel being entertaining is really fundamental though--you want it no matter what, because if the story doesn't entertain the reader, the reader won't continue.

The only way you'll ever know if you story will be a hit or not is if you go for it, of course. ♥ Publishing and popularity takes a lot of luck, not just talent. Good luck with your novels~

I want to write something my Dad would read if he didn't know I wrote it.

Thank you. Maybe what I write won't be some multimillion dollar hit like Harry Potter or something, and right now, the story is a little dry. I don't have a whole lot of characters. ALl the material I have was somethings I wrote in high school. But maybe, just maybe, I can make it work.

Thank you. Maybe it won't be that popular, but they say small fandoms are always better then huge ones.
