Pastor Nikolai Aleksandr Smirnov and MGB Agent Peter Dimitri Kuznetsov together as the MCs of a novel would be fabulous…I’m getting ideas already…oh no XXD
What?! Another book? Oh dear. XD
A quick side note: did you intend Alesandr and Dimitri to be middle names or were you referring to patronymics (the father’s (or other…[Read more]

Oooh, I love romantic side plots XD
XD Sammmeeee, I’m a total sucker
You could also toss in some conflict and have the guy meet her with bad intentions, like to figure out how to make Vital or steal it, etc. But then he ends up liking her. I feel like that trope is kinda overused, but if it’s done well, it doesn’t bother me.
I like Loo…

@anyone
Okay I had one idea that is kinda random but it’s there.
He could be this Gladiator who fights for entertainment, who looks all fierce in the ring, but then in reality is this perfect gentleman and all sweet and always apologizes to his opponents after he fights them. And he and the MC meet before one of his matches and then she’s like”…[Read more]

Soviet Russia era Bible smugglers/underground churches?! EEEEEEEE…I am so happy.
Also, I adore the name Nikolai.

Thanks! No that’s great!
He could possibly be from outside the city, but it would be difficult
But I definitely like the idea of him not knowing or caring about her making Vital! And it could be something she worry’s about or has dealt with in the past. A ‘you only care about the money’ situation.

Soooooo I have this plot idea, right? I’ve written a lil’ sample and have lots of general ideas for the main character. But I’ve mainly focused on setting.

SD Smith quotes…
“Call me Master, child.”
“Yes Masterchild.”
“I’d go for Joe’s arm. He’s sensitive there and has to get it wrapped by the pretty doctors every day.”
“Hey!” Joe said “They make me. It’s not like I want to.”

Oooohhh love it Ry!!
I haven’t read through the whole thing yet but I will come back later, because I wanna know more!
(actually we’ve spent more time on the characters and world than the actual writing).

Enid replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 6 months ago
Yeah, ofc, to everything you said 😂
I don’t personally relate to Riker’s abuse, or Leon’s anger against God, but I do understand them.
I second Koshka’s point! That’s how I would summarize my opinion.

Koshka replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 6 months ago
Ooof. It’s so hard to pick a favorite character. XD Especially when I haven’t actually read the book book yet.
As you know, I do like Leon. He was my first favorite, when I first met them. He also reminds me of other characters I have long adored (Natan Israeli, Judah Ben-Hur). At times I don’t enjoy his arc very much,…[Read more]

Enid replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 6 months ago
I honestly don’t think I can answer that, lol.
For me, the two have very similarly structured POVs and voices – which is totally a stylistic thing since they are supposed to parallel each other. But that makes it harder for me to choose XD
The main difference is their internal struggles. I also can’t say I enjoy one con…[Read more]

MineralizedWritings replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 6 months ago
Oh, interesting question…
Well my kneejerk reaction is Riker because I feel so bad for him but honestly it’s got to be Leon.
Here’s a couple reasons why:
Leon feels realistic. He’s lost his spouse, been in the concentration camp, and now has to start over. It makes sense he might become a alcoholic.
Leon’s character arc…[Read more]

I would love some plotting help from you guys if you have the time! I’m thinking about starting one of my stories as a webtoon and I’m wanting to work out the kinks first.
I’m tagging you guys because it’s a lot darker than my other story and I didn’t think you would mind lol.

That was so sweet! I love how you tied it all together, and Isabel is adorable.

It’s so funny that I (and Loops now?) have a reputation of being fine with darkness 😂 Am I darker than the average person?
Ooh, okay, so is this female scientist going to have a redemption arc? Either I would assume that by reading from her POV, or I would assume she is only going to be an initial POV character as an intro to the world and s…[Read more]
Ooo I love this story idea.
So you’re asking if the scientist lady should be forced into the experiment in the first episode or in a later episode, right?
I agree it’s a great hook, but I guess it depends on how much world building and stuff you want to fit in before that happens to her. Maybe you want some time to show what her normal life loo…[Read more]
@loopylin
Thanks 🙂
@whalekeeper @loopy
Thank you guys so much for your feedback! Showing a bit of her normal life before could be a good idea…. hmmm I’ll think about it.

I’m…uh…intrigued already
a little dark, yes, but it can also show something beautiful if handled correctly. If you feel led to do this, then I say don’t shy away from it <3
I am loving those themes. I feel you there, girl…it really does sometimes feel like Christians don’t understand. My BFF has dealt with a lot of mental health, so she does understand, but I know what you mean <3
I absolutely love the idea.

Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know it would bug you! I just tagged you and loopy because I knew it wouldn’t disturb you, everyone has different tolerance levels. I didn’t mean to say you are a dark person 😂
Thanks!
And thank you for the prayers! <3
Lol are you infj too?
Btw how are you doing?
It’s okay 🤪 I think there are specific types of dark, and I lean into a different type than others do on here. Like for some reason a lot of people here don’t write or read dark humor? But tragic/tortured/abusive backstories are common and detailed. It’s a weird combination of preferences, and I have to admit I don’t identify with those prefere…[Read more]
Also I’m sorry if I sounded pushy over the whole darkness topic! 😖
@whalekeeper
I get that, maybe it does seem odd to other people. Dark humor is pretty much fine to me, Ig just depending on context like anything else.
I think on kp where the *line* stands seems odd because it’s largely dependent on religious beliefs vs some standard. Like, most of us here are not comfortable with ‘creepy’ stuff. For example,…[Read more]

That’s interesting. I analyze other people, but I also analyze myself to a further extent. I want to understand all the things my subconscious is hiding from me so I know exactly how I work XD

Riiight, so it’s a distinction between objectively bad things/creepy/bordering on dark magic. I’ve understood the magic issue to some extent, it’s just a lot of the in-between stuff that bothers me.
Side note, I was into Veggie Tales and Pixar 🙃

Ah, yes, the elusive subconscious 🤣
I’m almost definitely taking a gap year. Whenever I tell a well-to-do mom I’m not going to college right away, they’ll pause, and their eyes go glassy… it’s funny but intimidating because I’m not living up to expectations.

@whalekeeper
Ah, I see where some of the confusion is. I think the best way I can explain it is that for the majority of the people here, creepy isn’t a shade of dark, it’s an entirely other animal that isn’t ok. I’m not trying to say your doing something wrong, just some people won’t be on board. It’s something that for me changes with exposure.…[Read more]
@whalekeeper
Lol, that’s interesting. Well you should be proud for picking what works best for you, instead of doing the popular thing. You’re living up to your expectations, not theirs. Isn’t that important? 🙂
