Alright. Here we are. I. I love your characters' names. Pretend? Epic. (I'm being completely honest when I say that you inspired this post. When you mentioned a Pretend in my last entry, I just had to know more!)
II. Your characters/snippets had me all,
Seriously.
III. I can't think of how to even begin with this comment.
I love your attention to details, from personalities to histories (to "but he can still get sick as the virus isn't actually part of his body."). Considering how fucking fail I am at giving my characters histories, I am both envious and in awe at your utter detail, patience and skill. (And then there's the very small matter of "serious Victorian sex". Just... PFFTROFLMAO.)
I really love the Dev/John interactions you shared. They're so... UNF. They're perfect and playful, and I love the picture it paints of Dev as a character.
Also: NIFTY! PRETEND, I AM TOTALLY WITH YOU. NIFTY IS THE BEE'S KNEES. ♥ The way Pretend talks reminds me of a Babel Fish translation. It's really endearing. :B
I. I think one of my favorite things is to come up with their names. I put a lot of thought into it.
II. :D I'm so glad to know that! And that you liked my snippits and all.
III. One year in school in the creative writing class we had to create a character. It was an easy grade. Give ten facts, you got a C, twenty facts a B and thirty got you and A (or something to that extent). I write to profiles for them with appearances and personalities and histories to seven and couldn't choose one character to turn in so I turned them all in. Some of my classmate's read them and were astounded. "I never even thought about a history." I replied with, "You have to know their history because how else could you write them and know how they would react to things?"
"but he can still get sick as the virus isn't actually part of his body." Well that just makes sense, doesn't it? I put that in and then like a week later realized that Pretend is kinda immortal because he can heal himself. In theory if he practiced enough he could still survive if his head was cut off or if he got shot. He can heal it instantly or even move his vital organs if he saw it coming. I really needed to give him some sort of weakness other than his horrible attention span or willingness to give his life for those he loves.
I really love the Dev/John interactions you shared. They're so... UNF. They're perfect and playful, and I love the picture it paints of Dev as a character. So much. Oh God, I completely adore writing them. My cousin had described John as a monster with ADD/ADHD. Which is rather true. if you want I could email you what I have written so far, I'd love your input if you want to give it, if you want to read more Dev/John stuff
Also: NIFTY! PRETEND, I AM TOTALLY WITH YOU. NIFTY IS THE BEE'S KNEES. ♥ The way Pretend talks reminds me of a Babel Fish translation. It's really endearing. THERE IS A REASON WHY I WOULD MARRY THIS CHARACTER IF I COULD. OH, I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM. It is rather endearing. I've not yet met someone who doesn't like him. (I've RP'd a lot with him). and he's going to have a bit in the John and Dev story, so is Ontinia and Doryean. Oh and this one guy who I really haven't developed at all, but his name is Dominic, or Dom for short, and I picture him with short, dark, curly hair but he has a power that is across his (or your) chest are kinda subtitles. Only these subtitles say what you really mean. So you can't lie around him. But his power they call 'sub'. So Dom is a sub. And that brings more more joy than it should I'm working on a very short story that is just Pretend's. And when I get done writing it I'll have to have someone who doesn't really know his character read it because I'd want to make sure I get the point of his POV and powers across the right way to someone who doesn't know about them.
...and shutting up now. No more rambling. for now
I lied.. I LOVE that you seemed to like my characters. :D
