Do you write fiction/fanfiction for this character? Links?
I honestly don't. I haven't given it a proper sit down, but that's mainly because after all these years, I can't figure out the mechanics of how this story would work. I have written a few introduction/scene setting pieces and general ambiance, but I honestly have no idea what the actual plot is. Harry is a new character who came to me last year when I introduced him. He wasn't originally part of the story, but since the story is about a dead girl, she can't very well tell the story. The keyword on his icon is Narrator because I think he's going to take on that kind of a role, telling Agnes' story.
Also, there might be some intimidation going on because this story is like candy to me.
Are you involved in any RPG/etc for this character? I've tried, but Agnes, being dead, isn't suited for the internet.
