Hello everybody,

I'm pretty sure this is considered spam, so I'm sorry if it is.

My question is this.  What exactly gives original flavor fics an "anime
feel"?  I'm trying to write one, and I'm not exactly sure what gives an
original fic this quality.  Thanks.


First of all, it's an "original fic".  No flavour.  An "original flavour 
fic" is a fanfic that attempts to be faithful enough to the original 
that it could be fitted into the series and not obviously stand out as 
different.  As far as getting anime flavour into your original fic goes,
it is quite sufficient to simply use some common element in some genre 
of anime, like "magical girls", "giant robots", "super martial arts", 
or "tentacle rape".
