This is... i don't know what this "pic" is. I think by the use i plan to give it (someday, maybe) it is technically an illustration. While i made this wiki mock up and the logo (which, by the way, it's 3d), the actual character pic was drawn by me and colored by the talented ~Eppur as an experiment, and while she let me use it, i still kinda feel like a duche for using it for this. Now my children, sit down, as uncle glu has a lot of explaining to do (or skip it, it's in character info). This character started as a on time minor character for my GN series, since i defined that Venus loves to read fantasy books for laughs (at the inaccuracies on magic), i planned this scene were she annoys a pompous author when pointing out the inaccuracies on her work at a book signing event to the point of making her shout the infamous phrase "It's magic! I don't have to explain it!" (this quote along her name might make it easier to figure the 3 real life persons i used as a base for her.) But my brain, being a hyper little bastard, decided that "if she was an author, then she needs a series" and so i thought up the "WitchStar Academy" Series, which is a poorly written, mary suish book that somehow won HUGE POPULARITY. I've actually thought up some of the characters and events for A BOOK WITHIN A FICTIONAL STORY! But my Brain was not happy yet and thought "how can we make this even weirder?", well, listen out, here comes the juicy bit. I thought up a story for her, in which her raising popularity and stardom makes her very pompous and lazy and starts to give in to the cheap tricks to generate atention and popularity for her books: She starts killing of her characters, adding drama, making the story darker and edgier. Her story would be written differently, the first few chapters would be actual stories from the WitchStar Series (as if they were the books she writes) and in between chapters bits of info about Joanna, the author, would be given ( such as this mock up wiki page) until the third or fourth chapter, were the story shifts to the "real world" and the struggles of Joanna as she writes her next darker and edgier book. Bits of the "book" would read out as if Joanna was proof reading what she just wrote and begins to notice that most of the stuff she reads is not what she actually wrote, as if the characters where resisting the dark changes she is making, as if the world she created refused to change...and it all gets worst when she starts hearing voices in her head..."why did you kill her? why did you kill her?!" |

El final es solo el principio
Glu, I'm going to use this excuse for everything now, heh heh.
Interesting story, especially at the shift to darker tones at the end.

Seriously, such complete lack of respect to the fans, and specially, to the character, it's what inspired me to come up with a story were the "fictional" characters fight back when their creator stops threating them with respect.
That's why i keep a strict code of respecting what i've defined for my characters, no matter what world shattering thing happens to me or any change on my believes.

Interesting idea, with the characters fighting back...
