Writing Meme Day 22
Arg I forgot about this entirely yesterday. Blame the footy. The footy was awesome and totally worth skipping this for.
1. Tell us about your favourite writing project/universe that you’ve worked with and why.
2. How many characters do you have? Do you prefer males or females?
3. How do you come up with names, for characters (and for places if you’re writing about fictional places)?
4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters!
5. By age, who is your youngest character? Oldest? How about “youngest” and “oldest” in terms of when you created them?
6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol’ pen and paper?
7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?
8. What’s your favourite genre to write? To read?
9. How do you get ideas for your characters? Describe the process of creating them.
10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Everything from serious canon scenes to meme questions counts!
11. Who is your favourite character to write? Least favourite?
12. In what story did you feel you did the best job of worldbuilding? Any side-notes on it you’d like to share?
13. What’s your favourite culture to write, fictional or not?
14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us?
15. Midway question! Tell us about a writer you admire, whether professional or not!
16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing? ;)
17. Favourite protagonist and why!
18. Favourite antagonist and why!
19. Favourite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!
20. What are your favourite character interactions to write?
21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them?
22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you’ve never written or told anyone about before! Serious or not.
23. How long does it usually take you to complete an entire story-from planning to writing to posting (if you post your work)?
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?
25. Do any of your characters have pets? Tell us about them.
26. Let’s talk art! Do you draw your characters? Do others draw them? Pick one of your OCs and post your favourite picture of him!
27. Along similar lines, do appearances play a big role in your stories? Tell us about them, or if not, how you go about designing your characters.
28. Have you ever written a character with physical or mental disabilities? Describe them, and if there’s nothing major to speak of, tell us a few smaller ones.
29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters?

22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you’ve never written or told anyone about before! Serious or not.
As soon as I think of a relatively big idea, I either tell Sallie about it, draw it, write it up or keep it secret because it's a spoiler. As such, if I told you, I'd have to kill you <3
I have always wanted to write a fight between Rumal, Raykin's best swordsman, and Kaen, their best blade archer and hence best fighter with daggers. Problem there, of course, is that I have NO idea who would actually win. I'd be barracking for Rumal, though.
Way back on the first draft of SH, Yan was going to come up against some Kazinian sorcerers who tried to kill him with their magic, which at the time involved taking hold of the victim's heart and stopping it. 'Lol,' says Yan, 'It's already stopped, bitches,' and kills them all. Of course, Kazin doesn't even do magic anymore, so that idea's null and void now.
That's all I've got =/ Screw this, spoiler book, that'll have minific ideas in it that I haven't written. If they had more detail to them than what I've got here, they'd have been written already, so this is all you're getting XD

- Damsel Inconvenienced, rather than damsel in distress. Something about Lynnlita having an Issue that she wants Nol to solve.
- Lynnlita dealing with Raykin's public baths. No, they wouldn't make special concessions for her and bring a personal bath up to her third-floor room at the palace. If she asked Mithé really nicely, he might close the bath house for her maybe.
- Someone vandalising the skull-barrier on the Kazin/Raykin border.
- Army training blind-folded to train the ears~
- Yamin dying her hair black, and failing because whatever she used sorta turns everything else black, too.
- Taking the horses for a swim in the Ra-Lin on a hot day.
- From way back in history: at some point, the Own must've all been killed. Mission, assassins, whatever. And then, war. Hooray!
- The Own talking around the campfire, asking Nimay what her magic can do.
- Learning to fly~
- Discussing magic/flying etc with Mithé, Rau, Laeron etc.
- Gylepi's kids meeting Nimay. Lania, his daughter, wants to be a swordie because of 'May X3
- Boys discussing Haenel's mindset. He's a bit scary =(
- Yan possibly the one who suggested to Mithé that he make Nimay his assassin. Maybe. I'm not quite sure where I was going with that one.
- Gylepi comes home from a mission with presents for his kiddies. Lania is not happy because her two favourite dollies, who are in love, will be jealous of this new dolly and have a lovers' tiff. Gylepi vows to never buy her another dolly ever again.
