Beginning semi-detailed chapter outlines for Project Murcadox. Join if you like! :40

@koshka @elishavet-pidyon @anyone
If you could hypothetically ask S. D. Smith a question, what would it be?

That does it. I’m going to work on this project as hard as I can after I finish the thesis abstract.

@theducktator

I’m not sure how I feel about what you said, because one of the plot points includes making a brave phone call.

…This is a sign.

@ellette-giselle

Oh really? I love them. It’s so fun to start tying them together in subtle ways.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I still love it.

And neither of the two guys have met. 😂

And that’s when things get fun, when characters are technically connected but they haven’t met yet

Ikr? Awesome

Graphic novel artists are the goat, for real. I don’t know how they do it.

@keilah-h

my brain: he just got SHOT and is BLEEDING OUT IN A FLOODING UNDERWATER FACILITY and you’re commenting on the LINEWORK????

Having no emotional connection to Sniper, my eyes immediately go to the art technique. I’m heartless. XD

@ellette-giselle

Multiple POVs are lowkey traumatizing for my brain because you have to tie so many different colored strings together. It’s madness. Madness, I tell yea.

Escape while you still can… *Gazes into the distance* *Flops face down into my pile of manuscripts*

@keilah-h

🤣 I figured Crosshair would go through something like that since you like him so much

@keilah-h

Well then, you’re much less responsible for torture than me, lol. I still haven’t found anyone who’s done the same things I’ve done.

I like the line work on that panel, verrry nice.

@keilah-h

I know nothing about season 2 girl, I haven’t watched it. XD

@ellette-giselle

But it’s a three-way POV, so there are two other MCs.

Three-way POVs for the win. 🙃 I’m doing the same thing with my dream project. It’s so complex though, takes forever to figure out. But it is easier to make one MC less likable and tuck their POV under the rug until they’ve developed enough to root for.

@loopylin

Does the hunger games thingy count as fan fiction though?

Never thought of it that way before, but yeah, you’re right.

I’m kinda busy rn too. (Finally got a job yayyyyyyy)

Yesssss 🎉😁 Finally!! That’s great!!

@ellette-giselle

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]

@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…

@keilah-h

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.
