The cast of characters in my novel

Jun 15, 2007 17:38

It's novel time. I want to write something. I have the characters set up so far. Here's who they are (I don't use names yet because if you name them, they're alive and I can't change them later). I will fill in more details at a later point. All details are not set in stone, at this point ( Read more... )

That sounds like a freaking awesome start! I wonder what kind of story it'll end up being? Fantasy? Adventure? Farce? Political satire?

Fantasy / Sci Fi but definitely fiction / horror / mystery. Or rather you all can think its fiction, but I experience every single one of these people in my own insanities every day. With more than 4000 distinct personalities to choose from, I can be anything at any time.

I can even be... right outside your door at night, waiting with a sharp stick to poke you with... or maybe a cheesecake to cram down your throat until you choke on its creamy delectibleness.

Hey, how about this: what if I make a multiple choice / matching option (format of a poll) and see which characers y'all think go with which situation? Popular polling would then indicate where the storyline should go. But first, I need to know how to do polls... *gulp*

Dear Jake,

Only paid members can make polls. If you like I'll post it for you. You make it up, send it to me, and let the magic of $19.95 a year do the rest.

Your Pal,
Pasmo

Wow! That's cheap posting! Much less than I pay for postage at the post office yearly, or even in one trip *snickers*

Hmmm, I may just take you up on your generous offer, Mr. Pasmo! :) I may just indeed...

At long last the bathroom quests can be novelized by Character 0005! It could be quite interesting if 0003 ever mentioned the demons to 0005, since slaying those would definitely count as a "real quest."

True, but Character 0003 has no idea they are 'out of the ordinary' and that others don't see them. So, when they conjure images of children being strangled by piano wire over the bed of 0003 at night, he/she is unaffected. Like having a Deathnote Shinigami/Shimigami hover around you forever and whispering terrible things to you from birth throughout your life. You'd be accustomed to it.

And yes, depending on how perceptive Character 0005 is, a LOT of stuff can go down.

Case in Point: Character 0005 hears that Character 0001 is busting heads. Character 0005 may either go to stop him, or help him with his "quest" to cleanse the infidels (even if its just a bunch of drunks down by the docks).
