Sounds cool enough. It kind of sounds like it belongs in the “road trip” or “buddy movie” genre. So google what those are to find out what may or may not be cliche. Come to think of this it could also be an “adventure” story. My advice is focus on character and their goals. That’ll lead you to your theme. And that’s basically it 🙂

@michael-stanton

Thanks, man! I’ll be using these 🙂

@Winter-Rose ha! Not at all. My pleasure. 😀

Yes. I haven’t written up a formula for that one yet.

@Winter-Rose nope, looks good. I would make the distinction that for a flat arc, the arc is actually the plot/surroundings changing to fit the truth of the character, not the other way around as it is with the other arcs.

@Daeus *chokes* Hilarious. *tries not to split her side laughing* Perhaps once I do a deeper study of that I shall figure out what the disparity is between the two and get it taken care of.
For now, you guys can call it whatever you want.

@Daeus I went with both! Didn’t you see??? :’D

Oh wow… what an enormous question, @Dragon-Snapper. 😛
*screams* @ARATREA I NEED YOU!! HELP! 😛

Okay, okay. Settle down Kate. *clears throat*
Let me explain.
Uh… no. There is too much.
Let me sum up. 😉
A character arc is basically the change a character goes through over the course of a story. From one belief to another. In fact, this is…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya hey, no rush.

@kate-flournoy

Glad somebody noticed 🙂 I’ll try to get to your thread about love triangles. Haven’t read anything on there yet, but I noticed there were a lot of people who posted so it should be great.

A theme song for a character in her innocence can be sung at the end (after all their hardships which has turned her harsh) which harks back to a time when she wasn’t so tainted by the world.

@Mark-Kamibaya I see what you did there… 😉

@dragon-snapper Musicals

For me, I’d classify musicals in a genre of their own. In the same way that it’s normal for the fantastical to appear in fantasy and the bizarre to appear in horror, in musicals it’s normal for people to sing and dance spontaneously. That’s something that actual critics (as in the ones who get paid to criticize) need to…[Read more]

@Sierra-R *sits and silently judges you*
XD jk.

I think I probably would have liked Tauriel and Kili better if the romance had not progressed so ridiculously fast and gone from ‘I hate you because you’re an elf and who doesn’t hate elves’ to ‘Do you think she could have loved me?’ in the span of half a movie… and ugh, yes. Thranduil just took…[Read more]

Whew… okay. This took some fancy mental gymnastics because my protagonist is in second-draft-stage and still needs work, but I think I got it how it’s going to be once I’m done. The arc is one of the more complex ones, actually… disillusionment, so it’ll look a bit different. Anyway.

Beginning: begins with basic belief/hope that despite all…[Read more]

@Daeus not a problem. From eight to now I got 724 words. How was it for you?

@Winter-Rose awesome! Tag me when you stop. I’m planning on going until nine.
