Why are some characters suddenly, POOF! GONE!
Fanfiction Pet Peeves (Tips & How-to's)Tip/Rant OO7:
So I was reading a fic around 2 days ago, and remembered that there was one thing I completely hated about it.
Hated.
Hated.
Hated.
Despised.
Despised.
There were exactly 5 main characters. In the first 4 chapters, only 3 of them were mentioned. In the next chapters, the leftover two 'main' characters were only mentioned once.
Then.. in the last 5 chapters, she didn't mention anything about the other 2 characters.
Like, what happened to them? Did they die? Did they move somewhere else? Did they rub a damn lamp three damn times and a damn genie came outta nowhere and granted them 3 damn wishes and one of them was to vanish from the damn story? Or what?! WHAT FRIGGIN' ELSE.
My reaction when I finished the story:
Dude, bro. Seriously. I feel like I should message her telling her this, but I shouldn't. Because I'm too nice ;D
Please. Please. Don't ever do this, readers.
If you lose interest of the characters, or they suddenly become irrelevant, just make them move to a new country or state!
Or something! (Don't make them die.. unless it makes sense in your story; emotional, sad.)
Overall Tip: Do not put characters in your story that you aren't even going to use!
