I’m not sure I’ve quite got the concept, but you can count me in for sure!:P This sounds really fun.

@Daeus, yes. We’ll have all of our characters in the same situation, talking to each other and all that.

Oh, that sounds good. And since you guys had Walter kill Alex’s family before, this could be right after that, since that would be Walter’s lowest point in the story. He doesn’t know that Alex is the play director/ puppeteer of what he’s watching, and Alex reveals himself just after the significance of the cloth has had a little bit of time to sink in.

So, this is a sort of character/writer game (the OYANers among us will recognize it) I thought it would be fun to start up here.
The concept here is that we each play the part of one of our story’s characters, give them a situation, and write our way out of it together.
Sound fun?
Tell me below if you’re in. And if so, ideas for a situation…[Read more] -

He could be fighting for the right reasons the whole time, just the wrong way. And the good guy opens his eyes to a better way. A Godly way, perhaps.
I love the piece of cloth symbolism bit. That’s really good. Just the image that it brings up in my mind. This toughened, villainous looking man, wearing dark clothes and the classic villain garb.…[Read more] -

Loyalty could be another driving passion. Either loyalty to some old comrade or leader so that the friendship is more important than the bad stuff the other person wants to do. Or loyalty to a wrong cause…or even a good cause, such as justice, but going about it the wrong way/or with no mercy.

Thanks, @hope! 🙂
That little snip of dialog actually came all by itself when I was making notes a few chapters before. 😛 -

I think it’s just the fact that they are called werewolves that will put someone off. ‘Werewolf’ has a very distinct association in everyone’s mind, and that association is very heavily evil.
I would encourage you to keep looking for a different name. -

That conjures up such a laughable image… 🙂 😀 😛
The Mug and Mushroom Basket.
The Snarling Griffin.
The Sign of the Cat and Cobblestone.

I just want to mention too, @Sarah-h, that werewolves are not mentioned anywhere in the Bible, even though the Bible does contain descriptions of witchcraft and things connected with it that we need to be aware of.
I think if werewolves were real, the Bible would have mentioned them, so I don’t think you need to be concerned on that score. -

Cool! I like that.

Oh! Okay. Yes. I have made those— too many times to count. That makes sense. 🙂

“My socks are cold too.”
I love that line!

The Sign of the Scarlet Dragon…this is actually for a book of mine. 🙂

@kate-flournoy
Thanks! So glad you like Cobalt. 😀 I fixed that typo thing with the blanket fort and had him just say he could put it over his head and still see everyone through it. But, definition-wise for the blanket fort, you’ve made a fort from chairs and blankets, haven’t you? I just meant that. Because Cobalt probably still makes them.…[Read more] -

“I want shoes,” Cobalt pushed his socked foot out over the edge and raised an eyebrow at his captor.
Dr. Übel blinked, “What?”
“Please. Pretty please.”
“Wait… why do you want shoes?” he asked.
“My feet are cold,” answered Cobalt matter-of-factly.
“But you have socks.”
“My socks are cold too.”*sighs, shakes head despairingly*

First of all, just let me say… this guy Cobalt— I like him. A lot. He’s a distinct, funny personality, well characterized, consistent… and he has the most amazing name. Cobalt Winter. That’s perfect. I love it.
Now.
Overall the scene is very good. There wasn’t really much I could find to pick on generally, but there were a few places…[Read more]
