I’m just going to let him grow on people as the story goes.

That makes sense. Is he a side character? I feel as if side characters are given more grace when it comes to these things because the story’s POV doesn’t depend on them. Protagonists with that personality are more difficult because readers don’t want to deal with that r…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I’m not surprised.

Yeah, I hope so. Oh my goodness, yes, Martin was so brave.

@koshka

Ooo! Yay!

Is your sister going with you?

@hybridlore

I know poor Aelic. This is my fourth time though that scene as a draft, (read it several times just for fun) and it still gets me. Ugh.

(I’m wondering what’s happening to Aiden now that Martin believed and died too. It would have been tough to see his brother and his cousin killed like that.)

I know!!! The poor kid! 😱

Guess we’…[Read more]

@koshka

Ooo yay! Graduation!

oh! So are you leaving home, or is it close enough to access?

@whalekeeper

no, not really! I like her ideas. I have written quiet moody characters, but I don’t know if they’re quite like this.

I have a current moody character, but he’s not super likeable. (except that he happens to be all my reader’s favorite) he’s doing the right thing, but he kinda hates the world. (and has good reason to) But then he…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Anything to add to Koshka? Since you sorely desired to smack my character, hehe

@ellette-giselle

Wow. That was rough.

Poor Aelic. 😭

(I’m wondering what’s happening to Aiden now that Martin believed and died too. It would have been tough to see his brother and his cousin killed like that.)

@koshka

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.

@koshka    @whalekeeper

I like Koshka’s idea.

@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

well then, prepare for impact. 🤣

Collage I’m guessing? Or is your semester over already?

@whalekeeper

Ugh. Those characters make me want to smack them.

Okay, WHY is he that way?
