Death comes for us all

@theducktator

Okay okay, she’s very important, I just couldn’t think of anyone more important to interview. XD

@loopylin

LIE. Literally just lie, Barnes already did.

?!? Who?

Seb, I’m interviewing her post-midpoint in the story I guess. The story spans a couple years.

Lucille, I thought you were single

She’s private. It’s complicated. I shall…[Read more]

I’ll do it myself. And I can’t think of anyone important to do, so I’ll just go with Barnes

1. What is your full name?

“Lucille Pallas Barnes.”

2. What is the most important thing the average person should know about you?

“Do not stand in front of me when I am walking. It will be dangerous for you, because I’m not easy to stop.”

3. What is…[Read more]

Yay, people want to do this 🙂

@the_lost-journal

That’s what this topic is for, yep

Some questions. Answer as if you are your character.

1. What is your full name?

2. What is the most important thing the average person should know about you?

3. What is your body language right now? [Describe them in the interview, sitting/standing, fidgeting, etc.]

4. How would other people describe you?

5. Where do you live? What is your…[Read more]

Awesome! We’re not going to die out yet, it’s just a stressful time of year for some of us.

We should totally bring this topic back. Tagging people who might not have seen this before… Go ahead and tag anyone else I forgot. My brain is a goldfish. XD

…I feel like you guys can see the first post and I can’t… I hate accidentally making repeat posts. Oh, well.

Okay, well, I’ll write my thingy again
Is there any popular trope or writing style you don’t get the hype for?
Can be any kind of trope! Romantic, hero’s journey, maybe a specific character archetype.

I found out over time that I don’t really like the trope where the government is over-controlling and tyrannical. The idea is realistic, it’s j…[Read more]

Testing… did this post come through?

Me and my sister will get DnD supplies soon! 😄 I found several friends to play with irl as well. None of us has experience, so I’ll have to learn the DM role by myself.

@beth-torres

A list of suggestions, because lists seem to help me. :]

1. SLEEP.

2. Think hard to see if there are any emotional problems holding you back. Maybe you’re comparing your work to other people too much. Maybe you struggle to connect with your first draft because it doesn’t have the same punch you expected it to have.

Then, if there…[Read more]

Some things never change

@keilah-h

Or I’ll take something important to the character from them. (Like Toothless’s tail fin.)

You just triggered my repressed obsession for HTTYD and I’m not complaining. The Vikings are many things, but they are not ableist, and it’s so well done. 😂

@keilah-h

Yeah. I have an even split of disabilities caused during the stories and before. So many of them have to do with mobility. And then I realized, ‘oh duh, I’m just writing what I know.’ XD

@theducktator

Or combine option A and option B so some characters die, some are permanently wounded, but they did it for a good trade, and so ultimately accept it as a win-win. I love inflicted-and-permanent disability, it’s such a useful trope. (Plus it adds some much-needed disability rep.)

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, good. I was also mildly bamboozled for a minute. XD

@theducktator

It is a very big book! And I don’t think we made anything too crazy in chemistry, but there were mild chemical reactions, and I dissected a pregnant shark. Maybe that’s irregular, though. Was that in Challenge 2…? 🤔

Hehehehe the teacher will never know… &#x1f60…
