Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

🤣🤣🤣

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]

@ellette-giselle

How…? Oh bother.

*Snatches a jacket and poofs away*

@ellette-giselle

Hopefully not? But right now…maybe.

*Deep sigh of weariness*

Life is nuts right now. So yeah, it might take something kinda out there to stop my in my hamster wheel of days.

I should be back to something like normal in…two weeks?

@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]

@ellette-giselle

He keeps dying.

WHAT!?! XD

First you kill all my favorite of your own characters, and now you’re killing mine!

LOL

Okay, where were we?

@ellette-giselle

Okay.

I liked Aelic.

And I am now…mmmm.

*Glares*

I was honestly hoping Leon would somehow be able to take his place, even though I like Leon.

Besides my unhappiness over what happened, nice gut punch at the end. And um…

Honestly, this kid’s writer feels kinda sick after that, so she’s going to just step back and let…[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 yep, that’s a perfect name for the character in the image.

It just…fits her.

@ellette-giselle That’s what I thought, it sounds like a girl’s name.

also that meme is peak humor lol

@linus-smallprint

completely off topic but Bastille is an awesome name for a character. It sounds like a female name, but I guess it could be for a guy too.

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
