You know the score. It seems like it's everyone's favorite kind of thing to deviantArt and YouTube these days.

Ever read one of those stories, or watched one of those hand-drawn animations where this person takes their OC (which may or may not be an anime-style cat or wolf) and sends them on an unstoppable killing spree? For no reason at all, or because the character has some bizarre and unexplainable trait that causes them to transform into an 'evil form' that demands the blood of all those close to them.

Quite frankly, these 'stories' are garbage by anyone's standards. They're ripoffs of JtK, or half-assed attempts at trying to inject some mediocre character or story into these blood-soaked dramas. Hey, just because it's a kitten or a wolf or Pinkie Pie going on a bloodrage doesn't make it any better than the source material. And while they're kinda entertaining to read or watch if the grammar doesn't suck and the animation has some obvious time and effort put in, I've yet to see a concrete character with an established reason for killing that doesn't do in everything featuring them.

But you know what's awful? I feel oddly tempted to write one of those. That's proof that I'm running really low on CP ideas after finishing up my last story. Yet since I actually care about my improvements as a writer, and revere this site's quality standards to the letter, it hardly needs to be said that an OC-goes-on-a-killing-spree-in-this-OP-transformation won't survive long.

Unless, of course, I can actually throw in a decent plot and setting. And have my character have a very good, original reason for why he or she had to do the deed, and not make blood and gore the focus of the story. And make sure I steer clear of the multitude of cliches that I know and hate, and not use the stupid transformation gimmick with using it extraordinarily well.

Or I coud just go overboard and stick it on my dA or FictionPress instead.
