Interest is a subjective term, and so we have no no hard rules on what's considered 'interesting', however, they should not be mundane either. Below is a few examples of stuff to avoid with writing notes: |
||
* '''Do not''' write how a character is similar to another fictional character. Fictional characters are archetypical, similarities can be found just about anywhere if you look hard enough. |
|||
** '''Exception:''' If there's something tangible that links these characters. Such as sharing an actor or creator, or being based off/adapted from another. Similarities within the franchise can also be written about as long as the similarities are notable beyond basic traits or arcs. |
|||
''WIP'' |
|||
* '''Do not''' write about a specific pop culture reference a character said or did, that should go on the article for the piece of media that happened in. |
|||
** '''Exception:''' If the reference is of particular note, such as referencing a previous work by the actor, writer or director, or if the character references that specific thing numerous times. |
