Thanks! As a disabled person (not in the same sense that Ivar is), I love the concept of a disabled person recreating what they view as their "weakness" into their greatest strength. So my intention wasn't to make that a focal point for this character. When I envisioned my Warrior character, the first person that came to mind was Alex. That led me to thinking if he should be disabled. My OC and Ivar are similar, I didn't want them to be too similar since it feels like I'm recreating him as Ivar.
You're welcome, sweetie.🍀💖
Don't worry about who or what inspired your OC. Because regardless of the face-claim in your mind, the Character will be new to readers.
Like Vincent Van Gogh said, "If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced." I'm certain that works for all mediums of The Arts.
"Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker.
They don't do it for money.
That's not what it's about.
The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language."
- Lev Grossman, Time Magazine
Famous Writers who gained inspiration from Fanfiction:
- Cassandra Clare - The Infernal Devices, Chain of Iron, etc. ( most well known for her Lord of the Rings parody of Legolas and a Draco Malfoy-centric Harry Potter fanfiction.)
- E.L. James - 50 Shades of Grey series (was originally published as Twilight fanfiction.)
- Marissa Meyer - Cinder, Scarlet, A Tyranny of Petticoats, etc (author of this popular YA sci-fi cinderella retelling, Cinder, has also publicly admitted to writing Sailor Moon fanfiction! And even better, she doesn’t keep them anonymous!)
- Neil Gaiman - American Gods, Good Omens, Coraline, etc (Gaiman is the rare author who was actually able to publish his fanfiction without changing character names because of his notoriety! He’s written odes to Sherlock Holmes (A Study in Emerald), H.P. Lovecraft (I, Cthulhu), and C.S. Lewis (The Problem with Susan)
- Lev Grossman - The Silver Arrow, Codex, The Magicians, etc. Anyone who’s read Grossman’s “The Magicians” series knows that it’s a mashup of Harry Potter & the Chronicles of Narnia. (Grossman is also a public advocate of fanfiction as well as a writer of How to Train Your Dragon fics).
