Go for it! You can do it! Woo Woo Woo

That's what I'm doing. I'm slowly making my way through my o-fic. I will be happy to give feedback too if you like. I know how important that is. If I have one piece of advice for writing orig fic is don't beat yourself up about it. Writing O-fics are a little harder than fanfic because you have to build everything from scratch.

What kind of genre are you thinking of writing in, fantasy?

I've been meaning to read your original story, it looks very interesting. At this point all I have is some general ideas so I really need to make a document and start writing notes for what this world is going to be like ( ... )

Eeeek, that sounds like it could be very dark premise. I love it! In fact, I can almost see you making it horror with people trying to consume you. Do you like to write dark?

Of course, whenever I think of albinism, I always think of the stunning, beautiful Diandra Forrest.

I love the idea of having a character that is set apart from the collective, because it's always such an exciting dynamic.

I really want to write a story with a protagonist with albinism to break down all the stereotypes associated with the disorder. Plus, it's frustrating to never find a character like yourself in books, and I'm sure there are other people with albinism (or even people who just feel different) who'd identify with that.

I definitely think I'll include people trying to hurt/capture the main character. It probably sounds like insane behavior for "civilized" first world countries, but I think people would do these things if they were truly desperate to live.

Omg I love Diandra Forest! I wish there had been more models like her when I was growing up, it would have been great to see that there are other people with albinism who are considered beautiful and having it is not something that automatically makes you undesirable.

I think this premise sounds so intriguing. It’s true, people will do all kinds of things when they think they might die.
