Describing the Winx Club Physically

Kikurukina: [...] I haven't seen this in a while, but every now and then, someone will go to the trouble of describing the members of the Winx Club in great detail.

My advice: don't even bother. You should assume that your reader has a basic idea of what the fairies look like. Spicing your paragraph with the occasional "Bloom brushed her coppery locks out of her face" is all right but don't overdo it by spending pages on just waxing how they look like. The reader should generally already know what these characters look like because they want to read fanfiction about them.

After17: Some detail is good however, I mean, I don't think Bloom would be Bloom unless you pointed out her fire-y red hair. (Yes? No? Maybe?)

But I agree, especially when they point out the obvious...

Seriously, I think its worse when someone says Musa is Chinese - in AU, fine, I get it, but how can she be Chinese if she's technically an alien? (To us anyways)

[...]

Advice!
