Quinn: *pats down belt* A dagger and a compass here. *pulls out compass and looks at it* A little wibbly-wobbly, but it works. *claps it shut* That should help us get to the mountain.

Quinn: I… I really have no idea, m’lady. I certainly don’t live here. *looks around, running a hand over his hair and messing it up even more* Doesn’t look like any land I’ve sailed before. The coastline isn’t familiar… *squints at a dark spot in the ground* that’s a bog. I’d stay away from it if I were you.
Sorry, I didn’t even ask your name,…[Read more] -

Here’s our character cafe, all ready to go!

Arianwen
She’s courteous and mature outwardly, with a quick smile and a gracious tongue, but inwardly she’s insecure in a lot of ways. She’s afraid of rejection, afraid to let herself become attached to someone because if the relationship doesn…[Read more] -

No, I’ve got it. I’m compiling all the info really quick and then I’ll start a new topic.
Just give me a sec. 😉 -

Alrighty then. Let’s start it up. 🙂

*nods* that’s what I was thinking for an inter-genre island. Nice examples. XD
I think we’ll be the only people on the island. Though some fictional creatures from multiple genres will be roaming the island.
Let’s see… so either we get off the island to get back to our own world, or there’s some sort of portal that we have to go through.…[Read more]

Cool! Looks like we’ve got a good number of people here. Now we need a situation.
How about…
Let’s go for a inter-genre island where our characters have been stranded and must find a way to get back into their own stories.
*looks around* any objections? Is that too weird? -

Arianwen sounds awesome, @kate-flournoy!
I’ll be doing this with Captain Quinn.
He’s a firm believer in God, though doesn’t take opportunities to shove it in people’s faces. Selfless and loyal to his friends. Good logical thinker and problem solver. A dedicated optimist. If anyone here does character MBTI, he’s an ISFJ.
Physically, he’ll probably…[Read more] -
Rosey Mucklestone replied to the topic Character Café in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@Daeus, yes. We’ll have all of our characters in the same situation, talking to each other and all that.

Oh, that sounds good. And since you guys had Walter kill Alex’s family before, this could be right after that, since that would be Walter’s lowest point in the story. He doesn’t know that Alex is the play director/ puppeteer of what he’s watching, and Alex reveals himself just after the significance of the cloth has had a little bit of time to sink in.

So, this is a sort of character/writer game (the OYANers among us will recognize it) I thought it would be fun to start up here.
The concept here is that we each play the part of one of our story’s characters, give them a situation, and write our way out of it together.
Sound fun?
Tell me below if you’re in. And if so, ideas for a situation…[Read more] -

He could be fighting for the right reasons the whole time, just the wrong way. And the good guy opens his eyes to a better way. A Godly way, perhaps.
I love the piece of cloth symbolism bit. That’s really good. Just the image that it brings up in my mind. This toughened, villainous looking man, wearing dark clothes and the classic villain garb.…[Read more] -

Thanks, @hope! 🙂
That little snip of dialog actually came all by itself when I was making notes a few chapters before. 😛 -

@kate-flournoy
Thanks! So glad you like Cobalt. 😀 I fixed that typo thing with the blanket fort and had him just say he could put it over his head and still see everyone through it. But, definition-wise for the blanket fort, you’ve made a fort from chairs and blankets, haven’t you? I just meant that. Because Cobalt probably still makes them.…[Read more] -

Go to the other one. I have no idea why two topics came up.

So I’ll give some background on the scene here. My hero (well, side character actually) was injured very badly by the bad guys and still saved by the bad guys for a reason he doesn’t know.
This is the first scene the bad guy really talks about anything regarding his plan and this is a bit of a turning point at how they treat the good guy.…[Read more] -

Never seen that, though I’ve seen “32 ways to kill Hitler”, which sounds like a similar topic. Really fascinating. Have to look that up! 🙂 -
