@anna-brie
Great topic, Anna! Thanks for bringing it up. 🙂 I absolutely love making up character names and learning the meanings behind the names!
I think a villain’s name usually contains hard sounds (as @ingridrd said). I don’t know if that’s because it makes the villains sound harsher and harder or for some other reason, but it seems that…[Read more]

I agree with @dragon-snapper. Also, any hard sounds. Like ‘k’ and ‘t’ for example.

What indicates ‘villain’ or ‘badguy’ for me is ‘r’.
I will use some examples here from Tolkien: Mordor, Sauron, Saruman, Orcs, Trolls, Ring Wraiths. All of these have the ‘r’ in them that you can just roll around on your tongue and make is sound really badguyish.

@sarah-h I found out from the “where do you live” topic and when it is 11pm in Arizona it is 4pm here. (Just the next day) 🙂 So that will suit me fine on some days. I would probably only be able to write for 45 minutes, as we have tea (supper, I think Americans call it) at 5pm.
I don’t mind if you tag me when you want to write and I’ll let you…[Read more]

@sarah-h Which state are you from so I can do some time calculations?

@Daeus no problem. Thanks.

@Daeus I’m good with that.

@Daeus I got 747 words… do you want to keep going?

@Daeus count me in.

Comics as in how, @Alia? You mean caricatures/drawings/strips that tell stories? I have absolutely no problem with comics. I love them, if done right. But though I’m an artist, I have zero knack for caricatures. 😛 More’s the pity. I love making people laugh.

@daeus
And Luke could count as one as well. In addition to that, they are all pilots. So the three first episodes of the three Star Wars trilogies tie in together…oy. Episode 1: the Phantom Menace Episode 4: A New Hope and Episode 7: the Force Awakens.

@his-instrument It would be repetitive, yes, but think about all the things that are laterals to the A New Hope as well. Poor MC on desert planet helps people who are on the run from oppressive government. The old guy dies. The MC from desert planet learns to use the force. I mean really, it seems like they took the first script and switched it…[Read more]

@his-instrument Yes I’ve read that book. And that’s what I thought of when I was reading through just now.
And just to add my two bits worth, not sure if it’s on topic. But you can never lie just once.

@hannah-c Oops…sorry about that…heh heh.
@his-instrument, whatever I said in my last post on this topic, I meant to be referring to you. Sorry about that.

@winter-rose I love world-building so much! I’ve literally made twenty page notes on one map before.
I wrote 662 words; thanks for writing!
Anyone else, I’ll still be writing for a while yet.

@His-Instrument great points.

First off, I don’t think the pianist analogy works in this situation. If you commit adultery once, you are still an adulterer. If you murder once, you are still a murderer. If you lie once, you are still a liar. You may not make it your profession, per se, but you are a liar in the sense that you have lied.…[Read more]
