User blog comment:Reddeadbob/Fanfic Ideas/@comment-4965445-20120328105649

Howdy! I'm the same person who posted the link yesterday, and I wanted to thank you for the compliment! There are several Fanifics around on the internet, but not all of them are.. well... great xP. There are some ideas which may be useful to you. Some things I'd like to hear a story about. In the Strategy Guide there is someone background information on some of the characters, also a bit about John's past. I'd really like to read something about how he got in touch with Dutch and all that. How our Jonny Boy became an outlaw xP. Also I'd like to read something about Irish, 'cause I think he has a pretty colourful background. Or the revolution in Mexico. You name it.

The world of Red Dead Redemption is so big you could write a sh*tload of stories about it, but please make sure it's not too much like the story in the game. That why I chose a random character, because people won't like it if your version of John Marston doesn't stroke with how they see him.

Personally I like the more gritty westerns, like The Assassination of Jesse James... or No Country For Old Men, 'cause I believe the Wild West ain't so much of a romantic place. For more information about the real West, I'd suggest you pay a visit to http://www.legendsofamerica.com/index.html, where you can find stuff like slang and all that.

I'm gonna finish this awfully long comment by wishing you good luck! I hope I can read some of your stories soon!
