It’s great fun how sometimes a name and a character just completely click. Sometimes, before I even name the character, I know what letter his name has to start with because it’s ‘his’ letter, so I brainstorm names that begin with that letter.

@kate-flournoy I do the SAME thing! For some reason, I usually have a character “letter” in mind.…[Read more]

Wow, cool! It’s always fascinating to hear about holidays in other countries. 🙂

Hi, @Alia! I like comics, but have never written one. That’s cool that you do, though! I’m not sure I could do caricatures either, @kate-flournoy! I don’t know if I’ve actually ever attempted it. Something to try. 😉

Hi, @Alia! I have never written a comic strip in my life. That’s cool that you do, though! I’m not sure I could do caricatures either, @kate-flournoy! I don’t know if I’ve actually ever attempted it. Something to try. 😉

My sister likes drawing cartoons (@ingridrd, come over to this topic!). I don’t know if that counts or not. 🙂

Great topic, Anna! Thanks for bringing it up. 🙂 I absolutely love making up character names and learning the meanings behind the names!
I think a villain’s name usually contains hard sounds (as @ingridrd said). I don’t know if that’s because it makes the villains sound harsher and harder or for some other reason, but it seems that…[Read more]

I agree with @dragon-snapper. Also, any hard sounds. Like ‘k’ and ‘t’ for example.

What indicates ‘villain’ or ‘badguy’ for me is ‘r’.
I will use some examples here from Tolkien: Mordor, Sauron, Saruman, Orcs, Trolls, Ring Wraiths. All of these have the ‘r’ in them that you can just roll around on your tongue and make is sound really badguyish.

And Luke could count as one as well. In addition to that, they are all pilots. So the three first episodes of the three Star Wars trilogies tie in together…oy. Episode 1: the Phantom Menace Episode 4: A New Hope and Episode 7: the Force Awakens.

@his-instrument It would be repetitive, yes, but think about all the things that are laterals to the A New Hope as well. Poor MC on desert planet helps people who are on the run from oppressive government. The old guy dies. The MC from desert planet learns to use the force. I mean really, it seems like they took the first script and switched it…[Read more]

@hannah-c Oops…sorry about that…heh heh.
@his-instrument, whatever I said in my last post on this topic, I meant to be referring to you. Sorry about that.

@winter-rose I love world-building so much! I’ve literally made twenty page notes on one map before.
I wrote 662 words; thanks for writing!
Anyone else, I’ll still be writing for a while yet.

@winter-rose Great! See you then!

So, are you saying Obi-Wan got married? (@daeus)
@Hannah-c I do think that Rey is somehow related to the Skywalkers, we just don’t know how yet, (obviously). Oooh, what if Rey was Kylo’s younger sister and that’s why Han was being so nice to her and all? And what if…ah!!! Strike out and your path to the dark side with be complete, and together…[Read more]

@winter-rose I can write!

@bluejay
Sorry I can’t participate! I’d really love to, but school is a lot of work this year…I’m sure you know how that goes. 😉
