You know what I don't like? No, of course not, but here, I'll tell you:

A couple days ago I started up on bleach again and like any fan I looked up information on various bleach stuff such as Kido (demon arts), the Zanpakto, and some random new character. On my search for this now valueable information (for me anyways) I ended up on a random bleach fan-fiction site. At first I was like "Whoa a list with cannon and 'fannon' (they used that word a lot) Kido, Characters, Zanpakto etc. But then I started reading the characters' biographies. Then, It struck me harder than a semi going at full speed. I really dislike people without creativity, and what I dislike even more is people without creativity that have the ballz of calling "their" character their own...

Example 1 of 1 - horrible, character designing: [link] Sounds pretty cool, no? If you know nothing of bleach, or know but haven't gotten to the Hueco Mundo arc, you'll probably be like, "nice" or "Thumbs Up". Now you're asking yourselves. "Okay, Josh what's wrong with it?" Not only is he stealing a character, but he also has a terrible back story... HORRIBLE. Not to mention that he mispells his "own" character's name on more than one occasion. Also don't those "duragons" seem familiar.

Now I know that by now a couple of fan-fic people hate my guts and are thinking about blasting my ass with a Cero or with a barrage of Bala but this may anger you more. I personally think that setting your character up with another cannon character (OC + i dunno, Ichigo) isn't exactly good. What I really wanna say is that it's okay to do this if the character you're pairing your character with isn't in some kind of romance with another Urahara Kisuke for example. He's an awesome character, and most of you fan girls dream of your character cuddling up with him, but even though it may not be expressed he and Yoruichi have something. I think that if you're going to be writing about someone elses characters, Tite Kubo's in this case, step into those character's shoes for a second and see things from his persepective. Here's an example: I really want my character "Jin" to be in a relationship with either Soifon or Karin. I was thinking Soifon would be best but then I started thinking on how I could integrate both into my OC's love life. The thing with Soifon is that she gives her undivided attention to Yoruichi causing Jin to struggle for her attention, while Karin on the other hand even though she's younger and a human, she's pretty tough and can see spirits. This allows Jin to communicate with her and vice versa. Now we compare characters Soifon is strong and a fighter, but like I said, she has a thing for that other woman, Jin is pretty easy going, but protective already causing problems in their relationship. Karin, though strong willed she's not strong enough, which lets my character protect her, also allowing him to teach her some basic kido which strengthens their relationship, and as a writer it shows growth in not just one character but in both. But then there's Ichigo, "Oh the drama!" See isn't this the type of things you wanna read. Not just "Oh, Jin without you I'd be alone in a world full of hollow"- the worst part is that Soifon would be the one saying that if I just wanted them together. I guess what I wanna say is: to be creative but at the same time be realistic.
