Question....

[said_scarlett]

This is for folks who write fan fiction for both anime and books/live action series.

Do you find it more difficult to write anime fan fiction than to write book/live action? If so, what are the exact problems you encounter? How do you find the two genres vary? Do you notice differences in writing dialogue or in description?

And I'm not asking about just animated genre fan fiction, but specifically anime. As we've seen, I am slowly toeing the shallow end of the anime fan fiction pool, so that's what's raised the questions. Any input is greatly appreciated!

sometimes it's a little hard for me to write anime fanfiction because I don't really have much of a concept of Japanese culture other then through manga/anime. Plus it is always strange to just put random foreign words here and there to try and convey their ethnicity. I don't know. I'm not very good with the writing of it, but I love reading it, and I'm not nearly as picky with other people's stuff as I am my own.
