Have him see someone else do something “uncomfortable” but right. Let him realize that was the right thing to do.

That’s already in my outline, too!! Golly, I have no idea what I’m doing but at least it seems to be logical. 😂

Pull out that sense of humor in his first scene, in how he views the world. Give a glimpse of who he could be, wan…

Yeah, these fanfics don’t surprise us.. XD

I can’t remember the last time I wrote fanfic. The only time I dedicated myself to something like that was when I wrote wholesome fluff for Mysterious Benedict Society, and a crossover between it and Secret Keepers by the same author.

That was maybe five years ago, hehe.

I almost think of character traits as plot points, so I’m still rearranging these thoughts in my head. XD

Well, it’s more like Pilgrim enters a new status quo because he’s moving to the main location in the story.

He’s outwardly calm and present for his dad. His dad is immature and might spiral without somebody to stick by him. So that paints Pilgrim in a good light even if it’s hurting him.

@koshka

Give him something (or someone) he cares so much about that he would risk anxious situations to protect/keep/help. It could be something simple like a pet kitten or his father’s pocket watch, or something more complex like a best friend.

I already have that! Perhaps I have made some better-than-bad choices!

What is a cause he’d be wil…

@whalekeeper lollll so true……

as kp’s resident weird-fanfiction writer, can confirm.

@loopylin
I’ll rp later! I have to write a thesis abstract, and in terms of creative writing, I’m hyperfixated on a project.

It’s hilarious how the majority of fanfictions devolve into some form of mental or physical torture

@ellette-giselle

🤣🤣🤣

Okay, he’s like that because his dad has always been very intense about making the right decisions in life, and the character (his name is Pilgrim) has developed a very hyperfixated way of making sure he doesn’t put himself out there.

I think what makes Pilgrim tolerable as a character is that he is very calm visibly, and…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle You two are on. 🙂 Any ideas? ^

My protagonist is often anxious, and he anticipates the worst in a situation. I want him to be likable though. Any thoughts?

Many YA novels have unhappy, anxious protagonists, and while I realize they’re realistic, a part of me recoils because they would be so unfun to hang out with in real life.

I think he might have a quiet, more positive…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I find it really funny that whenever I want something quick to read, there’s always a new scene posted on here. XD

I highly suggest you first begin to prepare by seeking out a queen fit to rule alongside you and produce an heir.

Bro has a schedule, hehe. Do royal homework, get wife, produce baby.

So I can spend my time that…

@ellette-giselle Well I think it’s great so far, so yep, you did your job.

@ellette-giselle

ohhhh.

By Draft 4 pretty much everything is solidified, right?

And I don’t mean “don’t make them die through the entire story,” just “don’t kill them this early in the book without a good replacement.”

Speaking of which, I don’t put swearing in my animations….lol. That’s not what I meant.

It was the animation style and the characters that made my dad think of me.

@ellette-giselle

Hmm. We’ll have to see.

What draft is this? If this is a first or second draft I could forgive you for killing them off and yeeting us into some random’s POV, cause it’s still rough and maybe you just figured out that killing them works for the story. But if it’s the final draft, almost ready for publishing, and you did that, I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle I read the section! Good to have the characters remember past events.

Also, I agree with Linus, I think they’re gonna live (or at least Leon and Julian will, Aelic could die or he could live); it seems a little early to kill these characters off, especially since you’ve provided no real replacement protagonists.

@ellette-giselle not yet!! I just happened to see Linus’s reply while I was going through my emails. I’m doing animation work right now, but my “work” computer and my normal computer have the same email. I’ll read it when I’m on my other computer.

@ellette-giselle

Lolol.

@ellette-giselle yep, that’s a perfect name for the character in the image.

It just…fits her.
