Hi!
I have decided, after much debate, to begin posting stories to Wattpad. There are several things I have been unsure about, mainly the use of RPF. Here is my spiel- when I write RPF, I do not know the person in real life and I will most likely never meet them. So when I write about these people please keep in mind, I am not claiming that's how they really act. To me they are a character I am basing on the little bit I know about the real person. The rest I am making up just like I would a completely fiction story. I mean no harm or bad things about people I write about, I go on a "what if" whim- what if this, what if that. Sometimes someone has to be the bad guy or have a bad habit. I'm not commenting on the real person, I am making up a character based on a real person's situation. To me I am just getting a story out of my head using people I can relate to instead of creating completely unique characters which I am working on.
Off that topic, I do hope to really publish one day and I am using Wattpad as a launching point to see what I need to do to make my stories better. Please let me know if you have suggestions- plots, corrections, mistakes, ANYTHING, because I am desperately trying to improve as a writer.
