Alia started the topic Betas wanted! Apply here! I beg of you! in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 2 months ago
Okay, so a while ago I posted the first three chapters on my book Decisions to see if anyone had any thoughts. Now I’m hoping for some beta readers (is that what they are called? I don’t know). So yeah, I’ll be posting chapters hopefully regularly.

@seekjustice Remember, @jenwriter17 shipped Justice and Chessy, so she must have liked him a bit. 😉
(speaking to your comment to @valtmy )

@seekjustice I don’t think he needs to be a copy of another character. Like we discussed once, your characters are mix and matches of all the different characters from the original. So if the “glory of Enjolras” as you call it, doesn’t get fully portrayed in Justice, maybe some of it shows up in the other characters.
The characters that are e…[Read more]

@rochellaine, wait, he didn’t? Never mind, ignore what I said then I thought he did and that annoyed me, but if it was all what other people saw then it makes sense and is fine.
(but I still didn’t like him as a person, that I know)

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@alia He didn’t have his own POV in book one, so that’s not a problem, right? 😉 In book two, we were introduced to a man broken by the deaths of nearly all his followers who was struggling with his newfound faith and his impossibly horrible memories. I felt the drastic change was very realistic, especially once we got to know his backstory. So…[Read more]

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@rochellaine, I agree with you on the most part, but I just didn’t feel much realisticness from him in his own POV

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice Actually, contrary to what @alia said, I felt Justice was very realistic. He was stiff, and I pretty much despised him, but I despised him as a human, not as a badly written character, because I thought he was very well written.
I hope you don’t humanize him too much in the revisions, because it would ruin his character.

@seekjustice, I get him appearing like that in someone else’s POV, but when it was like that in his too is when it started bothering me a bit.
Yeah, I don’t think they care much about honouring (yes auto correct there is a u in honour) their parents. 😉
great.

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, just to be clear, beta readers are kind of what y’all are doing with @valtmy ‘s and what you did with Seekjustice’s book, right? where you read it part by part and critique it?
-
Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice, I didn’t really like Justice in book one either because I felt like he was a robot. He didn’t feel very realistic to me except for him not wanting anyone to die. But even that was more like he didn’t want anyone else to die.
Oh good, I thought for sure I was going crazy with that thought

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, doesn’t the song Proud of Your Boy from Aladdin kinda reflect both Justice and Zac during the bar fight? not completely, but somewhat?
(it probably doesn’t but I’m listening to that broadway right now and that song just came on and so that thought lept into my brain)

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice, @rochellaine, I have to say, I liked Zac a lot better than Justice from the beginning. I mean, I knew he was going to turn out better, but even before he did I could see that he was acting the way he was as protection against getting hurt. Which made him opening up to Chessy so easily and quickly a bit confusing.
Justice was…[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@alia Well, you see, she didn’t love Jonas as much as she loved Quillon. I love Jonas better than Quillon, and Zac better than Justice, but she’s chosen Quillon as her favorite, and none of the other men mean nearly as much to her as Quillon does.
I am in complete agreement with you, but if the author loves Quillon, the author must be allowed t…[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice I have a confession. I didn’t actually cry at Zac’s death.
Partly it was because, like @alia said, I kept getting called away and when I finally got to the end I wasn’t immersed in the story as I should have been. The other reason was probably because I already knew he would die, and he died in the exact same way and sequence as Sy…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I don’t know. If she is willing to kill someone as wonderful as Jonas I think she is capable of anything…

@seekjustice Hey, I’m here for a while. I’ll drop out in a bit for family worship, but I’m here now and I’ll be back after that. 😉 (Our guests left this morning…well, some of them… 😛 )
@alia Don’t worry, I doubt she’ll ever kill Quillon, Chessy, or Justice. Well, I’m not completely sure about Justice. 😛 She won’t kill Chessy bec…[Read more]

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice, uh huh, I’m holding you to that
Thats what I thought. I actually can’t remember if you even showed us Jonas’ death scene of if we just found out when Chessy (or Justice) did.
Oh, and I would have cried, but every time I started getting emotionally involved I kept getting called away until the tears were gone.

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice, Hey, I’m here for the moment. But I might be popping in and out. I’m about to go clean a bathroom.
oh, and really? Zac? let me guess, Quillon dies in book 3?
(Zac’s death was better than Jonas’ in my opinion with how it was written. it felt more personal)

@alia This is cool! Are we allowed to print it off and use it for our own characters?
@jenwriter17, yep go ahead. I put it here so y’all could have access to it and use it however you want
@alia thanks! 🙂
@jenwriter17, yep, no problem
