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]

@whalekeeper

Does the hunger games thingy count as fan fiction though?

Also don’t worry about role playing. Take all the time you need. I’m kinda busy rn too. (Finally got a job yayyyyyyy)

@ellette-giselle

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

@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…

@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…

The fireman’s carry imo is harder than piggyback. I don’t care what they say.

You know story research just got real when you’re contemplating carrying your sister as many times up and down the street as you can, to test the strength vs weight in an escape scene

Stopped at :45. That was legitimately helpful

This is going to sound goofy, but I’m going to start an idea-generation session at :05.

Eddie

Ed trotted over to Sebastian, then stood in front of him, hands on hips.

“You owe Ellie and I for dog food.”

Ellie

The soft grass and warm sun made Ellie feel a bit sleepy. She watched Eddie and Seb from under drooping eyelids, and picked at the grass next to her with one hand. After a bit, she laid…[Read more]
