@Mariposa 😂 Oh my.  See what KP has done to us all? Writing songs, poems, and short stories just to chronicle our crazinesss. Love it! 😆

@Mariposa I think I’m dying. XD XD XD

@mariposa These are great. 😀

I believe Gracie and Sierra are @graciegirl and @sierra-r

@Mariposa good heavens, I think I’m dying. XD XD XD

@Xonos-darkgrate what @Daeus and the rest already said, basically, on the general subject.

I did, however, find your excerpt slightly disturbing, which is odd, because I’m not usually disturbed by that kind of stuff. It may have been because it lacked subtlety and I kind of just felt like I had my face shoved in a pool of blood for no reason and…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate  *shudders*  I don’t think it was too dark.  And it’s very well-written!

@mariposa  Yes…but very ill indeed.  🙂

@xonos-darkgrate I know some people who would find that too graphic, but I don’t. I think there’s a good light/dark contrast and it doesn’t make me feel empathetic toward the villain so I’d say this is good so long as it’s for a good purpose. 🙂

@dekreel  EEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!  Just yes.  I think this calls for a party.  Cake’s on me.

Oh, and I didn’t read your excerpt either. If I did, I’d want to know what basic content was in it first and I might not be able to get it in anyways.

@xonos-darkgrate

I’ll just stop in real quick to drop a few bits of meat, but if you want to hear a lot about this subject, we have several articles on it.

The thing I think is crucial to understand with content is that you want sympathy but you do not want empathy.

Sympathy is when you feel for or understand another person’s e…[Read more]

@leumeister  My votes are Celeste, Raphael, and Tristan.  🙂

@catwing

….

Well, @dekreel and @perfectfifths stole my thunder.  But I did know it!   🙂

@dragon-snapper  *trips into the room*  W-what they said…

😉

@leumeister Yes

@leumeister I would personally vote 1, 3, 2.

@Dragon-Snapper YAS. THE MORE VILLAINS THE BETTER.

*coughs* Okay, maybe not always… but personally, since I write sprawlingly epic books with dozens of thematic threads and plotlines apiece, I usually have at least two villains. One is usually the head bad guy, but giving him an evil sidekick doesn’t hurt.

@dragon-snapper Sure, though you shouldn’t just stick two stories in one book. The two villains need to have the same goal or attack the same weakness in the protagonist or do anything else that keeps the story coherent.

@dekreel  Praying hard.  ❤️
