24. How willing are you to kill your characters if the plot so demands it? What’s the most interesting way you’ve killed someone?I'm not sure. There are characters I'd have a hard time killing, for sure. But if the plot demands it, I'll go through with it, no matter how hard it is. I won't pull stupid stunts such as having a character ressuscitated ( Read more... )

23. How long does it usually take you to complete an entire story-from planning to writing to posting (if you post your work)?

Short stories: anything from 1 week to 2-3 months, proof-reading included. After that, I just stop editing.

Novels/long stories: ages.

22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you’ve never written or told any one about before! Serious or not.

Hmm, hard one. I must have tons, and at the same time, nothing comes to mind...

There's that one porny scene I haven't written in Our Darker Purpose, and am unsure whether I'll ever put it in or not. Not because it's porn (I ( Read more... )

21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them?Er... No, or barely. Some of my protagonists are the children of secondary characters, of course, but usually my protagonists are all adults, albeit young adults for some, and so I doubt I could consider them 'kids' (which seems to be the question here). If a character of mine ( Read more... )

20. What are your favorite character interactions to write?Anything that involves snark and witty retorts, for one. Not necessarily in confrontational situations between enemies-it's just as delightful when it's between friends ( Read more... )

19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spot light and why!

Ewan Doyle! Who didn't even have that name at first. Who didn't even have a name at all, come to think of it, he was just some random geek-technomancer type in the middle of a group picture (I drew that one when I first started thinking about the story that would become ( Read more... )

Three words: proper foreshortening sucks.

Gah. I can't seem to be able to get further than that, but... but!....

18. Favorite antagonist and why!

Tough question, too, because I seldom go far enough in a story to fully develop those as they would deserve to be!

My favourite antagonist at the moment would be Dresca. Although it's not a person, but a group, and I've developed them much more in RPG (Shadow Nexus) than in Our Darker Purpose so far, I quite like ( Read more... )

17. Favorite protagonist and why!

There are three I equally like, so poop, I'm going to go with the three of them and not choose.

* Marek Van Cartier (Was), who is absolutely awful and disgusting as a human being (if 'human' can still apply), but tons of fun to write. And who's still, technically, a protagonist and not an antagonist, although ( Read more... )

16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing? ;)I do, although they're seldom the main plot of my stories (except in short stories, that is). Usually I fare better when I use them as secondary plots, and when they are part of the characters' development and motivations, ( Read more... )
