White Flag Reposted.

Well, goodbye to the 29 chapters, 162 reviews and the 50,000+ views on the story. I am a sad panda, there will be some new changes within the story but most of it will be remaining with the same plot. It should hopefully take roughly a week or two getting it back up too date. 

I AM SUCH AN IDIOT. T__T Click here for White Flag

TO MY READERS - Suggestions/Requests

Now I know not all my readers are following me on here just yet but I know of some that are, so that is good! As Fos-ff.net is down I am actually starting collections of shots (mainly limes and lemons but not all will contain this.) I have already wrote the following:

Xanxus X Reader (50% finished ) Dino X Reader (10% finished) Ichigo X Reader (70% finished) Dante X reader (80% finished) 

Anyone who readers my stories knows my style and I don't do Reader Inserts, it is usually an OC written in the 'You' format, hence why I usually say X Reader. People get shitting about that format but keep that to yourselves. These however will not have this style, nor will it be an RI. They won't have mentions of appearances. So if any of you want to send me some suggestions/requests for some shots/limes/lemons then let me know. I already have my list of the pairings I am doing and the plots written out but they will be a surprise as they go along. A lot of them are musicly inspired so if you wish for the story to be like this then you can do, I am adding some lyrics into the stories (most likely still deciding on that) or just doing to write the song in the story information at the tops of the chapters. How to request:

1. Request a pairing and what story style you would like, Lime/Lemon/Smut, I won't be taking OC suggestions. If this link below doesn't work then go to my ASK ME section on my tumblr page which is just under my picture & about me.  2. Leave me your name/username whatever you want, in which you would like to be recognised as so I can write who the story is dedicated too. If you don't I might no do the story, you don't HAVE to give me a true username/name just something you will know.

3. OPTIONAL. You can suggest a plot if you feel like it but I will alter it to my writing style mainly if I don't like where the plots going I will come up with something else for you to enjoy.

 CHOW, CHOW.

Writing As the Opposite Gender

When it comes to characters point of view it shouldn't matter their gender. What matters the most is their personality, their background, their education, their age, their culture and their place in society. I find that if you think of them as their own person and not as puppets they can become believable. Focus on how they would react to situations and when it comes to romance, it will all fit into place because what they say, react and do is realistic to them. This would make any and every character different and unique when you see them as their own person and not just gender. 

For example: You have a character name Max, he's quite, a little shy and has a hard time opening up to people. Maybe it's because he doesn't trust people until he gets to know them more (or he thinks that they'll judge him if he shows them his true personality or something). But when meeting a female love interest he wouldn't automatically open up to her. That would make him out of character if he did that, let alone to any other characters. And/or he wouldn't also be all up in a characters face if he's got a crush or is in love with them. He's mature, in his mid to late 20s and he acts and does thing according to his personality, age, how he was raised, learned, and so on.  

It would be the same with a female character as well. They might haven been raised different, have a slightly different personality and so on. But if they have a similar aspect, such as being shy like Max is, they too wouldn't open up to people the first time they meet someone or their love interest. They would want to get to know someone more and when they do that is when they would open up themselves. 

As you can see, knowing your character's thoughts, personality, life, etc is all that matters and not their gender. It's insulting to read stories or people complaining about not knowing how to write the opposite gender or stereotyping them. For example, all the males are thinking of sex and females 24/7 or females always focusing on girly things and their looks. Sure the females care about how they look but not all of them spend countless hours in the bathroom every day getting ready or worrying about getting wet in the rain or getting dirty or something.  

Some of them don't even focus on that unless there's a really good reason why they have to look their best on a certain day or so. As for the guys, they aren't always thinking about sex, maybe once in a while something catches their attention and interest like a celebrity or someone they meet. But mostly they think about their jobs, school work, hanging out with their friends and talking about stuff like their lives or the stupid things they heard or saw or play video games.

No one is alike and your gender doesn't rule you or at least it shouldn't. If a girl likes hockey and is passionate about it unlike her other females, she wouldn't let that stop her from going to a game. Or even joining a team to play it. The same with a guy, if he always wanted to be a dancer, he would go after his dream.

Again, males are not that much different from females. They too like to hang out with friends, talk about stuff and/or play video games. Hang out in the mall, check out stores or go to the movies. Even do things that interest them like going to the beach, checking out the museum, go to the games of whatever sport they like if they're a fan of it, etc. 

Just know your character inside and out and you'll be able to write them just fine on paper for any situation. If you get stuck, maybe ask advice from a (male or female depending what gender the character is) friend, ask them how they would react or what they'll do or think if they were in place of the character. Writing the opposite gender isn't as difficult as many think. It's quite easy once a person realizes that it is not what they look like or what they are that matters, but the inside that counts. No matter how cliche that sounds, it's true.
