I have a fanfiction question.
 
Hi, I am new here to Oddworld Forums. If you have read my profile, I am interested in making films and writing stories. I need some help though. What is the perfect way to capture the emotions and feelings of Abe and Munch? What's their personality like? I looked at their profiles and the movies for the games, but I still get writer's block about how they could react to certain situations. If anyone out there knows, please give me a reply. Thanks :)

Well, the best way to become a good writer is to read lots of fiction. Especially original fiction. I recommend "The Edge Chronicles" a series of books that I'm sure will appeal to any Oddworld Fans. But as for Munch and Abe...

Imagine their situation was in a game or an FMV. How would you play out the level? What would they be saying?

Write down all your ideas on everything. Eventually, your block will crumble away.

Hey thanks! I will probably look into those books. Right now I am reading the "Cleric Quintet". It's pretty good. I'll use ur information on a fanfiction I am working on. I would really like to start making a fanfilm about Oddworld, which is why I needed to ask my question. With school though, I don't have alot of time so I am basically in pre-production right now for a loooong time. I've practiced voiceovers and everything (I can imitate Abe pretty well if I do say so myself!) So, thanks I appreciate it!
