I will have to check ATLA out, my best friend has nothing but good to say about it. I think I’ll enjoy them.

yes, those are the best! I am attempting to write one of those charries right now… not sure I’m succeeding XD meh, whatever I’ll try anyways
Yes, they’re historical fiction, and I totally liked them. Be prepared for tears at certain points. They are Young Adult, and although they’re not graphic in war descriptions, if you don’t…[Read more]

Ah ok, I figured. Sorry, I am TERRIBLE with figuring out names for charries. It’s like me trying to use the pain scale to tell the doctor how bad my pain is XD
Doctor: “So, your pain is, what, on a scale from 1 to 10?”
me: “Uhhh… five?” *silently “this is why I use Voltaren and don’t tell people. Stupid pain scale.” XD

Lord Rodolpho Greco from The River of Time series; he’s a traitor for most of the series, and you’re never sure if he’ll turn on the MC because he’s so elusive and never reveals what he’s thinking, but has the skills and the power, and the elusive…[Read more]

Alexa Autorski started the topic Writing the Climax in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 2 months ago
Hallo, friends!
So… I’m a little stuck. On one of my novels, I’ve hit the climax, where all the suspense, tension, and mystery finally comes together and brings the whole novel to a close. It’s the huge, ah-ha moment for the characters, and the satisfying yet tense moment for the reader. But the thing is, how do you properly execute the c…[Read more]

Kayleigh Idea replied to the topic What's your favorite Backstory? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 2 months ago
Well, the main characters are pretty morally gray, so it’s really interesting to see how they got to that point and the trauma they went through that eventually shaped their goals and decisions. It also makes the characters highly sympathetic and you feel like you have a connection with them. The author makes you feel really…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Fullmetal Alchemist is so good! I was just thinking about it this morning, haha…
@kathleenramm Something similar to that; In Silver Spoon, by the same author as FMA, the main character Hachiken Yuugo has a pretty compelling backstory. At the start of the series we see that he’s come to farming school as an escape,…[Read more]

SeekJustice started the topic Writers' Corner #1 in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 3 months ago
Hey all! Back in the golden days before KP shut down we used to have a topic going here called Writers’ Corner and it was basically just a place where we could come together with out mugs of coffee and cups of tea and write together, or simply just chat. It was the gem of KP so I’ve decided to get it going again!
I’m currently watching a lecture…[Read more]

I think I like villains that change for the better. But not the ones that are all mopey about what they did as villains (although those can be done well). More like the ones who are running out of a burning building while the hero is still inside, then turn back to help them because “Shoot I have morals now.”
And Loki. I like Loki. 😀

Whoever was the villain of Shrek.

This is a tricky one for me since I love all of the types if done right. But villains with a redemptive arcs would probably win since I’m sucker for people realising their mistakes and doing good instead, even if it’s the smallest act. It gives me hope that people can change (which isn’t impossible in real life though very unlikely)…[Read more]

SeekJustice replied to the topic What's your favorite type of villain? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 3 months ago
I must say that I go against the grain and like the powerful villains who don’t have sympathetic backstories and are just evil. Jadis is by far one of my favourite villains because she gives me such chills, particularly in The Magician’s Nephew in the city of Charn. Villains like Mother Gothel from Tangled who are powerful and com…[Read more]

Honestly my fav fav fav villains (book wise) would be those who are kinda snarky and sarcastic, and are more of an antagonist then a villain I guess. Like….you literally love them and they’re hilarious but then they go and do selfish stuff. Sorta like Loki. (Mainly guys…..cuz…..I like da guys…..ROFL)

Oh yes I love it when the antagonist and protagonist mirror each other thematically.
I like unexpected villains (e.g. killer being a child or sweet old lady). I’m also fascinated by villains that have unique and interesting motivations because the power-hungry, petty-jealous-rivalry, s…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Oo, foils! Gotta love those.
Mine is probably the villain who knows what he’s doing is wrong but does it anyway either for a higher reason or to prove a point. Basically the villain who has a conscience but has higher ideals. Not sure how to phrase it quite right. You don’t see it often.
Also, I like the secondary villain who…[Read more]

we were literally enemies and yet comrades in crime. We were captains in our armies of one each ( his little bro and my little sis)
