Chao- Came upon this thought while writing and keeping in mind who are the "main" characters for the fan fic. While reading stories, we see the characters hold reactions to the events around them. We may read a block of text about everyone's reactions, and others we read one specific character.
Example 1: Perry raced across the veranda, dodging the attacks of an atomic ray gun. He lept up to the ledge, looking behind him briefly to ensure he would not plummet into the pavement below. But he soon did the unexpected: He jumped! He flew down a story or two before landing in his white ship. He returned to the top of the building, ready to take action once more.
Chao- But whose expressions are we reading about and why?
Example 2: Doofenshmirtz removed an atomic ray gun from his coat. He proceeded to blast his enemy as the platypus jumped across the veranda. He grinned as he managed to corner his enemy. However, he saw Perry jumping. He yelped and race across and peeked over the edge. He spotted his nemesis coming back up on his white ship, ready for battle once more.
Chao- This idea may overlap narration and point of view. We may come upon something like these two examples in the same story, maybe even in the same chapter. Guess some writers like to have their readers read each viewpoint.

Chao- The nice thing about FF.net is that you are allowed to make changes to your story as you move along. You may feel other characters should take the slots of what you had originally placed. And, recently, FF.net had allowed more characters to be added in the slots instead of two. Of course you can always select none, but a drawback would be when users select characters in their search.
