I think it's an interesting idea. This kind of story might work in a setting in between two seasons, like in between god and Cho z, or Cho z or Gachi. If you have a cast of non-canon characters(maybe a few canon ones), it lets you expand upon how a story can go. A story full of canon characters with one or two non-canons limits how much someone can expand on the universe.
Basically, I'm trying to say that a cast of canon characters can be good(like your horror stories and such), because it gives more insight. When you mix in one or two non-canon characters, it doesn't make sense to have a massive adventure unless most of the cast is non-canon.
Yep, that seems reasonable. I love expanding on the universe as well as trying to develop supporting characters more. Your advice is really great, so thanks for that
Honestly, though, Im just here to balance out the genders lol. My Beyblade Demigods story notably has a huge cast of male demigods (which could give the bad implication that mostly males can be more powerful than normal humans, whereas females cant). Still, fanfictions arent meant to teach a lesson but I feel like some bad lessons can come off. Also an excuse to use my Beyblade OC for once, since she mostly appears in stories no one would read
