@seekjustice So I thought. šĀ I donāt recall you ever saying a good word about a one of them, though youāve said you liked the conflict they cause or things to that effect.
Haha, yes, your sister and I will be forever at odds as to whether you should have saved Justice or Zac at the end of the Empty.Ā And they are both what you might call anti-heroes.
(Well, I would be fine if you left it as it is, then simply did a trick-save of Zac letting him be the hero of the third book as per one of our previous discussions in which I listed several suggestions for how that might be achieved. šĀ Ā And without Justice being killed, which would satisfy your sister.)

August 20, 2018 at 11:18 pm #76216Iām not really the sort of person who loves the villain, though I do feel sorry for some of them. The closest I come to liking one of my own villains would be Byrd, the villain in the third book, probably because he has a wife and daughter he loves, which makes him a bit more human than Caderousse and Theresa Caelan.
The reality is that they would both go to save Quillon š
While you were away, I finally sat down and wrote out a brief synopsis for my third book.

August 20, 2018 at 11:25 pm #76217@seekjustice So you have a villain nowā¦but do you have a hero? šĀ You were asking for suggestions in the comment section of Empty. š
Of course. šĀ If only you felt that way about Zacā¦
Hooray for you! šĀ Will you be upset if I donāt ask you to let me read it?Ā Knowing the story of ATOTC partially ruined the second book for me, and I donāt want that to happen again.
However, if itās just a teaser I definitely want to read it!!!
I am working on another fanfic, this time an AUā¦

August 20, 2018 at 11:37 pm #76218Quillon is my hero. Along with Chessy of course.
I know, but Zac is the antihero and I am oldfashioned in the fact that I tend to like the heroes over antiheroes.
I wouldnāt let you read my synopsis anyway, sorry š My synopsis is private and I donāt want to give away all my specialĀ Scarlet PimpernelĀ twists. I do have a blurb sorta thing. Iāll hunt it down.
Oooh????

August 20, 2018 at 11:49 pm #76219@seekjustice Interesting.Ā Giving Quillon a turn to take first place, are we?Ā Iām interested to watch what changes his character will go through during the course of this, seeing as heās not usually one to take risks, which seems to be a necessary component of a heroās makeup. š
Iām also interested in the fact that he could possibly be your first main character without a love interest, since you loved Sapphire so much it feels to me like you wouldnāt replace her.Ā Is that under consideration?
Iād love to read the blurb when you get a chance, but no rush, since Iām mostly interested in reading the actual book. š
Yesā¦itās a little strange.Ā Iām quite unsure as to whether you will actually like itā¦ š (Also itās Chestice this time, and as thatās only my secondary ship Iām having a bit of trouble writing it. š )

August 21, 2018 at 12:00 am #76221Yeah š I mean, with how much I love him, how could I not? He will be an interesting character to explore, since heās not a conventional sort of hero.
I briefly considered it, and then I remembered how much emotional strain romances put on me and I decided against it š š Yes, Quillon gets the honour of being my first romance free lead.
Revolution has taken the Capital by storm and is now spreading across the country, bringing in its wake blood and fire.
However, a hero has arisen to combat the revolution. A hero who spirits those condemned to the guillotine away, leaving only a note from The Red Valerian.
Ever since being conscripted into the service of the Republic six months ago, Augustine Quillon has been up to no goodāor at least thatās what Ciaran Byrd, a former spy, believes.
In order to kill two birds with one stoneāconvict Quillon of high treason and discover the identity of the Red ValerianāCiaran Byrd enlists the aid of Chessy Verde, dragged kicking and screaming, into tracking down the mysterious heroā¦
Or watching Quillon die.
This is the blurb I wrote a while ago. I just realised I couldnāt give you the blurb I wrote for my snowflake outlining method because it gives away the ending. But thereās that one. The plotās changed a bit, but itās mostly the same. Iāll rewrite the blurb eventually.
Okayā¦Well, Iām interested to read it!
Hello there! Long time no see.

August 21, 2018 at 12:15 am #76223@daughteroftheking Hello!Ā What are you working on?
@seekjustice *laughs* Ahem! š Uh, I think, contrariwise, I have the least emotional strain when I am writing the romance scenesā¦Ooh!Ā That sounds very interesting!! šĀ I canāt wait to read it.Ā (Will there be more window scenes??)
Well, Iāll let you know when I finish it, of course. š

August 21, 2018 at 12:20 am #76224@rochellaine Working on my WIP, a Little red Riding Hood retelling. What are you up to?
Blog: https://weridasusual.home.blog/
August 21, 2018 at 12:29 am #76225*bows* Ā Whatās your Red Riding Hood retelling about? If you donāt mind me asking.
I seem to be good at pairing characters up and getting them attracted to each other, however when it actually comes to helping them continue their relationship I have no idea. It doesnāt help that Iāve never been in a relationship of the romantic kind or that Iāve never so much had a crush on someone who was still alive (well, that sounded much creepier than it should have)
Probably š Iāll keep you in suspense for now š
I look forward to it! (You are, Ā after all, better at romantic things than me)

August 21, 2018 at 12:50 am #76226@seekjustice I donāt mind! Itās about a girl named Katie, whose family are the guardians of a bridge to a magical island.Ā But, magical creatures keep crossing the bridge, like theyāre running from something. So, Katieās father goes across the bridge to see whatās up and *dramatic pause* disappears. She and a grumpy fairy named Brant go to enlist the help of a dude who goes by the name Rumpelstiltskin who will only help then if the guess his real name correctly. And stuff escalates from there.
So thatās what Iām writing. *jazz hands*

August 21, 2018 at 12:55 am #76227āAnd stuff escalates from thereā š sounds like an example of my outlining š
It does sound pretty cool, especially a fairy named Brant and Rumplestiltskin.

August 21, 2018 at 1:00 am #76228@seekjustice *laughs* Thanks. Yep, Brant is my sassy problem child and I love him. *pats Brantās head* *he glares at me* I must be off. Happy writing, guys!
