I'll give you five things to think about while writing a fanfiction. All of them have a large affect on the story, believe me.

1) The Theme: All Pretty Cure seasons have a theme. From butterflies, to flowers, to music, all of the themes have an affect on every aspect of the story, costumes, names, and pretty much everything else. I think you know your theme, but try to use it as a guidepoint while writing and designing. It looks small, but is actually the most important thing.

2) The Protagonists: Know that people like to choose favorite characters, which is why a sucessful story has someone for everyone. Make your characters differ in personality, as this not only gives everyone a favorite, but also creates a stronger and more meaningful bond between the group. Add a character or two with bad ties to other main characters, to create friendship drama. The bond is everything. Make it strong, but fragile.

3) The Mascot: Will there be one mascot that acts as guidence for everyone, or will each character have their own partner? Having one mascot makes for a good source of humor for the fanfic, and makes them more important to everyone at that if they have a problem, it's everyone's problem. Good for plot that way. However, if you make one partner for every Cure, each Cure has someone to go to for advice and pour their heart out in times of need. That way you can let the readers know what a character is thinking. Plus, a bunch of little fairies playing together is ADORABLE.

4) The Monsters: What does an antagonist do to summon them? What do they need to do such? What could make a Cure hesitate to defeat one? What are they made from? What are they called? These are all important factors to a monster. Monsters create and/or develop plot in the story. They seem unimportant because they only appear for one episode each, but they're more important then you think.

5) The Antagonists: You knew I would get to this eventually. So, who are they? What is their leader's name? Why are they trying to defeat the Cures? Why do they obey their leader? Do they obey their leader? How did their leader orininate? What is their leader? Where is their HQ? All important questions. And of course, some villian drama is never a bad thing, right?

So that's my two cents on the whole thing. I like your design so far, and I hope you go far. Writing fanfiction is complicated, but really fun. Good luck! ♥
