@alia 😀 😀 😀 😀

Sometimes, I suppose, I’m just in a rambling mood.  And no matter what I write at those times, it always seems to turn out a ramble.  But, at least it has amused you. 😉

How close or far from your character was the analyzation, really?  I mean, if you already picked a name, you must have picked a character, right?

So, is th…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I like that analyzation. And your ramblings are amusing

@seekjustice @alia Forgive me, both of you.  I believe I’m in a rambling mood tonight.  I just totally rambled on for hours in my posts to both of you. 😛

I hope you don’t get too confused or bogged down in my mental spiderwebs. 😉

(How would you get “bogged down” in “spiderwebs?”  I’ve always known I was horrible at symbolism, but this is really bad.)

@alia I often go into a book with one opinion of a name and come out with another opinion.  If I originally hated a name, and the books hero had the name, I usually like the name afterwards, or the other way around. 😛

So basically, whatever you use it for, I think the name will mold itself to your character, in your readers’ eyes.

However, you…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, yes.  I love cliches!!!  But while I enjoy cliches being made fun of, I actually like real cliches used seriously.  I guess…hm, what sort of cliches did I use in my short stories? 😛 I didn’t do it on purpose.  I don’t mind if I did, I just never thought of it before.  Are stupid doctors cliche?  Valtmy seemed to think they…[Read more]

@seekjustice, well this character is kinda a big deal in Decisions but since I just came up with her I don’t want to give anything away with context. Also, I wanted to know what the name made you think of

@rochellaine, its going fantastic. What do you think of the name Ceer? What type of person would you think she is with that name?

@rochellaine

I thought you were a fan of clichés? (definitely most of your short stories have struck me as humorous cliché sort of stories) Maybe that’s just me. I definitely thought you liked anything cliché though.

@alia

That’s up to you. You just gave me a name with no context and I said the first thing that came into my head, but if the ch…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Rochellaine likes doing clichés and making them humorous, so she might have some tips for you!

Um…did you mean @valtmy?  Or were you referring to something in one of my stories that for some reason I do not remember?

By the way, I’m back, finally. 😀

@alia Hi! how’s it going?

@seekjustice, alright, I’ll ask my mom or one of my sisters about it.

hmm, she was young at one time, but not anymore. I guess she might pass as a strong female character. Definitely not a princess. Clever I guess. Should I keep the name you think?

@alia I’m not sure how clean they are…the one I read was fine, but that was just one that my mum suggested to me because it was based on The Phantom of the Opera, so you’d have to check that out more thoroughly.

Ceer brings to mind a “strong female character” sort of person. No nonsense, brisk, strong, but not necessarily heartless. Probably a…[Read more]

@seekjustice, I’ll have to look into it.

on a different topic, what do you think of the name Ceer? What type of person would you think she is with that name?

@alia

I’m not sure the names of his books, but he wrote a lot, I’ve only read one but he also tends to use clichés in humorous ways. My mum likes his books.

@seekjustice, Terry Pratchett…doesn’t ring a bell. What are some books by (is it a him or a her, Terry could be either way…)?

What book is that, it sounds interesting

@princessfoo, I’m glad you like it. And thank you so much. Any and all cliches are welcome

@seekjustice, thanks! These are great

@alia That would actually be really funny! It reminds me of a book I once read where all the characters in the novel are actually just actors and everytime someone opens the book they have to play the novel out all over again, which of course, they hate.

@princessfoo, fantastic! Any genre works.  I plan on making the narrator part of a guild of narrators but because he expects things to go according to cliches he keeps accidentally changing the story and telling the villain what to do and not to do. (e.g. the monologuing so that the protagonist knows the plan and escapes, only the narrator talks…[Read more]

@alia

All right…the clichés:

Villain clichés:

• villain always, always wears black. Maybe red, if they’re feeling adventurous.
• They tend to be rather tall and thin and have long fingers
• and hands which they rub together when they feel evil
• and a cackling laugh
• also must have a henchman who’s short
• fat
• stupid
• and refers to the v…
