			<description><![CDATA[<p>Character&#039;s are the only thing that get all interested in stories, having the setting being a volcano and it going off is only a obstacle, everyone could survive if they could but it might seem out of character, the starsrceam type would only save himself and once out of the woods would not help the others and run off for himself.</p><p>Take dead rising, if everyone had stayed sane and worked togeather the zombies would never of entered the West side of the mall..But no we had to have people go insane, cry or run away from the terror of events..the crazed people were a majority of the game&#039;s bosses.</p><p>Malefor is pretty much the most bendable character for a fan-fiction, He pretty much has no reason for wanting to kill the world or destroy it, anyone could mend it in the story as he got corrupted and thought everyone was evil but himself.</p><p>The story i am working on is basically taking the emotional side of someone and snapping it, you then got a psycho infested creature on the loose going on a happy go Slashing vigilante spree..and for people who he thinks are pure of heart..it&#039;s doesn&#039;t get any better but getting lock in cages like animals</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Very true. Spyro universe is mostly centered on the characters. I myself am a writer for TLoS continuity, although I generally try to avoid clichés and throw in twists. For example, in my fic that is 5 years after DotD, I chose someone... unexpected as Cynder&#039;s biological father. Many say Malefor, though that&#039;s improbable considering Malefor is centuries old, and others say Terrador.</p><p>But I digress. I&#039;m a fanfiction writer myself. And I know I&#039;m not a master, but then, writing is almost impossible to master as there is always something to learn, and different writing styles. So long as I like my work, I&#039;m content. I&#039;ve gotten positive feedback on it, but I don&#039;t let it go to my head. I just write because I love to write.</p><p>It also helps that I&#039;m an English major, I suppose.&#160; <img src="https://www.spyroforum.com/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="auto" alt="big_smile" /></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I can concede to that. But who would want to read a story that just took place in the setting (at least in the Spyro fandom)? I&#039;ve seen it happen in fandoms where the source material is more about outright wish fulfillment (i.e. Dragonriders of Pern, Dungeons &amp; Dragons, etc.), but Spyro is generally more about the characters than the settings (which are usually just generic fantasy sans the Insomniac games, which suggest unusual concepts like multiple universes).</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Actually Norman, so long as a story contains material, be they characters or locations, from the source, it&#039;s considered fanfic. So technically it would be considered fan fiction to have only locations from the source material and not the canonical characters, though very loosely.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Sure thing. It&#039;s called a book. If you don&#039;t have any of the original source material in your fanfic, it ceases being fanfic.</p><p>What you might be looking for in this case is something that takes the tired cliches of LoS and gives them actual life. The only writer I can think of who actually did that with LoS material was ScarabDynasty, and she didn&#039;t need any tacked-on OCs to do it.</p>]]></description>

They should&#039;ve paid for pro voice actors (who cost a lot less and do a much better job) and paid for some real writers (who, y&#039;know, know how to write things).</p>]]></description>
