@graciegirl Huzzah!

@graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @daeus @overcomer @winter-rose @kate-flournoy @jess @ethryndal And now begins the legendary hour of writing.

@jess Yay, you’re back! How was vacation?
Okay, so first off, before I give you my five cents ( 😛 ) please tell me what the antihero is.

@daeus Basically because I do believe that it will make the antagonist deeper and better than before. His character arc (and theme really) ties into the story well, so I wanted to do so.
@aratrea Thanks!

Hey @Jess!! Welcome back. Hope you had a blast. 🙂

@dragon-snapper Yep. The more developed an antagonist is, the more likely he’s going to have a character arc. We’ll be discussing that in a bit more detail later on in the series, but the short answer is that either arc type can work–it all depends on the specific story you want to tell!

@dragon-snapper Haha, we did mention it in the video, but I think it’s a great example of catharsis! Setting up the end of the story with hope for the rest of the series was a great way of handling catharsis in that movie.

@aratrea Is one able to have a negative character arc apply to the antagonist? The Negative EiL to a worse EiL, or would a flat character arc work better?

@aratrea Would be against the rules to say your example of Star Wars episode 3? That one really is a great example, the catharsis with Luke and Leia was perfect. I think I like that movie better now that I understand it better.

@Daeus Okay. I’d thought of that, but I wasn’t thinking in a roundabout enough way. 😛
Thanks.
(By the other guy, I meant Blackwood.)

@GracieGirl *huge thumbs up*

@Dragon-Snapper No one will kill you (at least not I). But is for your own satisfaction you should read them. 😀
I’ve only read two of those though, so don’t feel awful. 😛

@his-instrument Ooh! I like lists too. 😀 At one point, I had an entire name devoted to notebooks, then I needed to notebook for another story idea, so that backfired. 😛

*hides face* I…er…have honestly not read any of those…not even Les Mis. *runs for life*

@Daeus I must be overthinking. Pay me no mind. *shallow sigh*
So was it the man’s identity (not Edwin—the other guy)?

@GracieGirl Read Les Mis. It will not disappoint. (Unless you read the wrong version, perhaps. 😉 )
The version I read was a Signet Classic, complete and unabridged version, translated by Lee Fahenstock and Norman MacAfee. Here’s a link, just so you can see which one it is…I’m not sure if we bought it from here or not but am pretty certain it’s…[Read more]

@northerner *scowls* I’m hardly on here anymore. Sadly… Unless someone tags me, I don’t generally see it. But still… amnesia.

*grins and rubs hands*

@rachelle Not that I have much to add. It does seem like a cool idea. One I’d like to read. 😀

@Daeus I thought so but couldn’t figure out which—the girl’s, his, or the man’s, and why it necessarily would endanger his life.

@Daeus Imma be super helpful here…
