hi onew, i know seouldout's traditionally been a kpop challenge, but would we be able to write about other members of the kindustry at large in our submissions? there seem to be a lot of ppl on meme interested in reply1997 and other kdramas, would we be able to use actors or underground artists and non-kidols as main focuses in anything or is it solely confined to them?
np!! haha mostly i asked because if the available list of ~characters to write about~ so to speak was larger, more ppl might be encouraged to sign up >D
i would prefer if it stuck to rpf. like no reply1997 fic, but you could write about the actors themselves. since there are different "rules" for writing fics based on fiction than on real people.
op and yes i def agree! sry i was kind of ambiguous about that in the original comment haha, solely rpf sounds like a good boundary because you're right, fpf is veeeery different
not ayrt but i think that the approaches to the two of them can be very different? with rpf the source material is basically their actual lives and you have to do research and digging to find out facts about them for characterization, whilst with fpf most of the time that fictional character's history and motivations are already mapped out for you in the source material (book/movie/show/whatever) which changes how you interact with the material
there are other intuitive differences too, idt ayrt meant anything so cut and dry as actual "rules"
like it'd just be easier if everyone was at the base level of "rpf" when approaching the challenge? introducing the option to write fpf would just make things too complicated imo
i meant the personal criteria of the person voting. not everyone writes or reads fpf so the level of critique for contest entries wouldn't be the same if it was just RPF fic instead of RPF+FPF.
well i mean first of all in rpf there are so many boundaries that you have to toe bc readers are sensitive about it. no first person, don't involve idols families, etc. those things go away when you write based on fiction.
and second of all, you do a lot less invention when writing fic based on fiction. if you were writing r1997 fic, for example, you have almost full access to various characters' thoughts in the show. for idols, not so much.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-22 03:51 am (UTC)(link)it's going to be unfair for both rpf and fpf writers because they'll be judged through the same criteria?
