How NOT to write a Vampire Diaries Fanfiction (including TO & Legacies)

salvatore siblings

i will be dispensing all my research on fanfics concerning salvatore siblings, including but not limited to:

- face claim

- love interest

- personality

- plot or storyline that is given to them

F A C E  C L A I M S

when it comes to face claims, it is always encouraged to accurately portray someone that looks like the brothers.

the best way to go is dark, almost black hair and light eyes either blue or green

in some circumstances, go shaggy blonde style kinda like stefan, but he's not completely blonde obviously, you have to pay attention

and in other times, why the hell would you go with a red head to be their sister?

just, why?

please refer to my first 'proper related face claims' to get some ideas for a sibling fc

L O V E  I N T E R E S T

let's go into their love interest shall we?

of all the sibling stories that i've read it's a tie between Elijah, Klaus, or Kai

that's it

that's the best you guys can do?

a cliched 'salvatore sister falls for a mikaelson brother'  and a sociopath who killed all his siblings? 

when it comes to their love interest, it seems as though there is no such thing as familial loyalty. it's like the minute she meets a mikaelson she just wants them and their family, changes her name (or hyphens it) but apparently because she hates elena she just disowns her brothers? like? 

other than that when it comes to Kai it's because she went with Bamon to the prison world and met him and eventually fell in love and despite the fact that Kai is fucking evil, she manages to change him and he becomes part of the group, like?? seriously?

ok, if you want to write a Kai Parker fic there are only three ways it should end

1. the love interest eventually accepts his crazy ways and sticks by him but they still lose to the mystic falls gang (or win, who cares)
