About This Community

This community was intended as a place for character study through fanfiction. We focus on character-centric writing, rather than pairings or general fandoms. There’s no time limit or deadline – fic is due whenever you finish it. Above all, have fun exploring your characters! ♥



The Challenge

Claim any available character from any fandom and write a 500+ word fic for every fifth year of their life, starting when your character is five years old. Of course, the number of fics will vary for each person, as characters live to be different ages. Living characters are welcomed and encouraged; it’s up to the author how far their life will extend.

Dawn's Advent [09 December 2007 @ 8:11am]

Title: Dawn's Advent
Author: Etcetera Kit
Fandom: Mahou Sentai Magiranger
Character: Sungel/Hikaru
Character’s Age: 5
Word Count: 1,547
Rating: PG
Warnings: Referenced death, but nothing explicit.
Summary: For the past two years, Sungel has been afraid of the darkness. If courage is the source of magic, can the Heavenly Saints who care for him explain why there is nothing to fear?
Disclaimer: It's Toei's sandbox. I just play here because it's fun.
Author's Notes: I feel like this story implies knowledge of the fandom (which is almost required in some sense) and that the story is based on some previous personal fanon. (People who follow my writing know what it is.) So, to make things clear, Sungel's family was killed by the Hades Gods when he was three. Feedback is appreciated, but not required. I like to know what's going right in a fic, and what's going not-so-right. :)

Nothing is Going Right [23 September 2007 @ 12:19am]

Title: Nothing is Going Right
Author: [info]alphabet26
Fandom: David Eddings--Belgariad/Mallorean series (but no spoilers--this story takes place during the prequel "Polgara the Sorceress")
Character: Countess Asrana
Character’s Age: 5
Word Count: 1054
Rating: G
Warnings: Flying shoes ;P
Summary: Nothing is going right today for Asrana; her brother is leaving to be trained as knight, and now she's going to be alone.
Author's Notes: This story really assumes previous knowledge. I hope it's still enjoyable. Also, for your reference , click here for a David Eddings timeline. I made up Asrana's year of birth (she was only referred to as a "young woman" when she was introduced) and her family, but went by the timeline for everything else. For my purposes, she was born in 2294.
