Grace's Project Idea/This Thread Doesn't Have a Witty Title
Amazing_Grace:
Well, everyone seems to be posting project ideas (I'm looking at you, ninjamitsuki and ZetaFlare), and, well...I have this idea. And I kinda wanna get feedback on it.
It will definitely be a fan-fiction because writing is the only thing I can do right featuring a cast of OCs I've invented throughout the years. The original idols and 876 Pro/the Jupiter boys will also play a few prominent roles.
So here's the thing: I've spent a good two years collecting up characters I've invented to be a whole OC cast of iDOLM@STER and assembled my top 20 favorites to form the "All-Stars" of my collection of characters. I want to write about the girls (and one boy) just kinda...going through their idol lives and trying to get to top idol. I want it to be written kinda like the SP games since that's the kind I'm most familiar with; you get to choose a character, follow them through lessons and communications, and all that. This is where the problem arises.
20 characters. Communications. One book. You can see how this would get really long. Not to mention I want to make a story out of it, with the 765 girls getting involved as rivals, friends, role models, etc. But I want to focus on one girl (or boy) at a time.
So I'm wondering. Should I maybe post, like, just a quick layout of profiles of the characters and let everyone pick a few favorites, and just focus on them, and ignore the others? Or just write everything out for all of the girls in no particular order and just let people skip to the ones that focus on their favorites? Or maybe even just post it all in twenty separate books and update them as I get ideas? I can probably definitely narrow it down to just twelve (or less) OCs too, so it's closer to the original cast and easier to write. But I'm gonna be honest, I'm a fan of these characters...I feel like they're original, and I want to write about them as though they are in the game, but also add in their own personal stories like the original girls had (like how Miki had her Awakened Miki route, I remember reading somewhere that Azusa and, I think, Takane got to confess to the Producer, Producer himself goes to America at the end of iM@S 2...).
I also plan on writing out multiple different endings per communication/lesson based on what the reader would say or how the idol would do in lessons.
Basically, I'm writing iDOLM@STER: The Fan-Fiction (With OCs).
So, um...yeah. I know I'm still new and I'm quite the amateur when it comes to iDOLM@STER and to writing, but I'm willing to give this a try, and I'd really appreciate any advice you could give me! :D Thanks. :)

You're so loyal. ;-;
Alright, I think I'll try it like that, then. Do you think twenty is too much and I should narrow it down to, say, ten? Maybe twelve or thirteen? Because I'm starting to think that for a project this complicated, twenty would just drive me nuts. So I think I'll narrow it down.
Should I post up some profiles here? I've drawn two of them digitally already and will eventually get around to all of them. When that happens, you guys can see some character designs if you want to.

Alright, do it! ;) I don't know if this topic is the right place, but could you post your Namuko Academy fanart as well?

I think some profiles will be in order, then~. Maybe for now I'll just go ahead and post the two I've done so far. Or at least one. Because one of them is kinda bad~...
Also, I dunno if Namuko Academy will fit in here, but I will definitely post them on this forum one day! Once I figure out how to scan things onto the computer!
Actually, if I'm scanning things already, I've already drawn all my girls (and my boy) on paper, so I think I'll just wait and scan everything online one day. YAY ART.
