catching up on the writing meme

I survived the boob squish. Hoping they pay for it since it's a diagnostic one and NOT the yearl (it's a month too early for that)

( meme catch up )

9. How do you get ideas for your characters? Describe the process of creating them.
That’s a difficult question really. Sometimes characters just pop into my head completely formed and uninvited and scream until I listen to them. Others are lightly based on someone I might know. Some come in dreams. Others come from thinking about someone else’s characters and wondering, well if someone with that sort of personality was forced into THIS situation what might happen and I lift that trait and play with it.


10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Everything from serious canon scenes to meme questions counts!

Oh gosh, what do they do that ISN’T weird? Temple, Agni and Caleb got all porny after Temple was nearly killed by a snow demon. Makai tries to subdue who he thinks is an assassin after his mentor and ends up sinking his fangs into one of the most ruthless princes in the realm. Liam found out his lover was a dragon after Hikaru got tased and fell into Lake Apopka. Wicahpi actually met the trickster god, Iktomi. Al gets involved with a cute young guy only to find out she’s dating the spirit of her friend from college.

11. Who is your favorite character to write? Least favorite?
Maddelena, Makai, Killian, Temple, Tarran, Yukio, Tully, Hikaru, Placid and Melantha, they are all so much fun. Least favorite, name a villain, any villain.

12. In what story did you feel you did the best job of worldbuilding? Any side-notes on it you'd like to share?

Probably either Makai’s world or Tarran’s. Both were built with evil_little_dog. Makai lives in a frozen world that is slowly dying. Tarran lives in an archipelago and I’ll just leave it at that. ASK QUESTIONS if you have them. I’ll gladly answer.


13. What's your favorite culture to write, fictional or not?

Ooo, this…you know this could be a dangerous one to answer so let me leave it as ones that I make up myself or American (Since I at least am familiar with it)

14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us?

Occasionally I scribble out a map and no I have none to show.

SPRING BREAK

To celebrate, my body gave me my period. Hey life, here's that middle finger again.

I was going to go to evil_little_dog's but to be honest, I'm still weak. I didn't think I could handle the drive. I'm going home (still a drive but not as bad)

Mom- you HAVE to come home.I know you're not going to ELD's

Me- no i'm not. Maybe I'll just sit around here and rest and clean

Mom - you LIE. You never clean and you'll be bored in two days

Me- true

Mom- You HAVE to come home. St Paddy's Day party at the casino. Free booze.

ME- I'm coming home.


I'm working on my help_haiti fic. I haven't blown it off, promise. I am working it, just slowly


I'm also trying to find a plot for Temple, Caleb and Agni. I might like to work them up into a longer more plotty (not necessarily less sexy). I know the Knights Templar and Temple's family show up but that's a subplot. hmmmm,need to buy a Pittsburgh history book while home
