There should be 24, so 23 will die, leaving one as winner.

To me, all of those have a distinct flavor, except maybe Igua. I think that Nahim and Alpha definitely are distinct enough. For Silvanis, the fact that he focuses on protecting a specific person, makes him a bit more distinct. So, as long as each character as their own interesting characteristics, I think this is fine.

👏

@rae

I agree with everyone else. That would’ve basically been what I’d’ve said.

@rae

I think readers do tend to notice when an author writes about similar ideas.

I don’t think it’s necessarily bad for so many characters to have that motivation, but I would try to avoid having too many of them have it as their main motivation, especially main characters.

I know that all of these characters are from the same universe, but…[Read more]

Hi! I generally lean more towards soft worldbuilding, though I am trying to create a world with harder worldbuilding. (I haven’t actually come up with any good ideas yet though.) My duck world has a very soft magic system, in which pretty much every weird magic idea I’ve had exists. Including a singing pineapple.

My favorite concept…[Read more]

I know I said I would RP! I’m so sorryyyy I’ve been busier than expected 😅😭

@loopylin

Also, you should meet @ava-blue , aka Queen of the Chicken Nation.

…if she would actually show her online face on here for once *sigh*

Oooh! A chicken nation! 👀

@whalekeeper

They do not. Same universe, different planets.

@trailblazer

Hi!

I’m Janessa, aka Trailblazer, because I love hiking, especially in the mountains.

I love mountain hiking! What mountains do you hike? My family always goes to the Blue Ridge mountains on vacation and we always hike!

I can’t say I’ve written people I don’t like into my novels, but I’ve definitely written interesting strangers…

Hello! Oh YES. SHINY THINGS. I love shiny things!!!

Your WIPs sound amazing. I would totally read them. What is Queen Natalie queen of?

Thanks! Natalie is queen of an island inhabited mostly by ducks, which needs a name. (I named it Angel Island when I was about 9, but that had nothing to do with the world or the plot, I just thought it…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ok, so the contemporary one I was talking about I don’t quite have a plot for yet, lol. I know a lot about the characters, but not the story.

I get that. That’s most of my wips.

The other one is dystopian and it’s about two families (a member from each which are my MCs) who start looking for “the cure” after their president who’s t…

One of my characters has a fire-breathing cat named Fire Face. But he isn’t fireproof on the outside… so he sometimes catches himself on fire… very unfortunate for him.

😆Poor thing.

And yeah! That’d be good way to explain steampunk.

Cool!

@hybridlore

Sorry it took me so long to answer. I had to make a list! I think there are 46 books/series on this list, and I probably missed some. I couldn’t just pick one!

Freddy the Pig
Harry Potter
Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians
The Stormlight Archive
Tress of the Emerald Sea
Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit
Chronicles of Narnia
CS Lewis’ S…[Read more]

@grcr

I like thinking about characters to music too! Mine are usually dancing though. 2 of my sisters and I used to have a fictional newspaper, but alas, it is no longer in print.

I have several hundred characters. It’s hard to keep track of them sometimes.

A song that would remind me of last year would be Minnie the Moocher, sung by the B…[Read more]

@theducktator Whoops! Forgot to finish your tag up there 👆

theducktator

I haven’t read a lot of contemporary. What’s your WIP about?

Ok, so the contemporary one I was talking about I don’t quite have a plot for yet, lol. I know a lot about the characters, but not the story. I think it’s going to either be a mystery intertwined with slice of life, or just a slice of life story dealing with the ups and dow…[Read more]
