Lesson 3: Backstory

Lesson 3 – Backstory Ah, Backstory. This one should be easier.* When writing a story, unless you're being weird unique and only plan to sell the work as a piece of Literary Fiction, you have a basic scheme of time: past, present, and future. There are many ways of blending these things—say the hero is recounting his rise to greatness, in which we are grounded in the future, but the story is in the present (so to speak). Examples: Gladiator, the anime Baccano (as far as I can tell—it was kind of confusing), and a number of novels written in First Person. Most of the time you'll find works where the present is the focus, but wh

Lesson 1: Identity and Motive

So, now that we know characters are what makes the story, what makes the character? There's a lot to the execution of a good character. I'm not going to pretend that I know everything about it, but there are two questions that the writer has to answer in order to make a reader care: Who Are You? and What do you want? Bonus points to all those having J. Michael Straczynski flashbacks right now. Let's use his magnificent Space Opera type epic Babylon 5 for an example. He used this technique masterfully, and was clever enough to put the questions right out there for the audience, with the angel placeholders the Vorlons asking the self-definin

Introduction: Character

First lesson about writing: Characters are what makes the story. Think about your favorite story. Ever. Well, I can't think about mine, so I'll go for "Which French anti-hero do I feel like fangirling for today?" Narrowly beating out the story about the tragic relationship between the bohemian sociopath with the amazing set of pipes and unfortunate skin condition (unless he's being played by Gerard Butler) and a Scandinavian soprano is The Count of Monte Cristo. That novel is, in its unabridged printing, thick enough to bludgeon a walrus with. It starts off pretty fast, but gets slow just as quickly. It's not a book for the short of attenti

Rehab for Roleplayers - Part 6

Welcome to Rehab for Roleplayers, a series of articles aimed at helping roleplayers more successfully make the transition into writing fiction. Part 6 – "Where's Ruth?" Tom Cried, Ruthlessly Throughout the rest of this series I've explored various 'roleplay-isms' which are fine in the RP environment but don't automatically translate well into fiction. This article deals specifically with 'attributions', which are the 'he said' / 'she said' part of dialogue. It's a generally accepted practise in fiction writing to keep attributions in dialogue simple and to not overdo it with synonyms for the word 'said', like 'shouted', 'whined' and '

Rehab for Roleplayers - Part 5

Welcome to Rehab for Roleplayers, a series of articles aimed at helping roleplayers more successfully make the transition into writing fiction. Part 5 - Level 99 Druid Saves the Day (and Mary Sue, too) Our old friend Level 9 Druid has been a really fun character, so his player has decided to feature him in a novel. Good for him! However, Druid's Player has never quite understood that other people don't much like his character, and for very good reason: Level 9 Druid never, ever loses. He's handsome, of course. Extremely handsome (even with that strategically-placed and charmingly rogueish facial scar) — oh, and smart, and brave and of

Rehab for Roleplayers - Intro

Welcome to Rehab for Roleplayers, a series of articles aimed at helping roleplayers more successfully make the transition into writing fiction. Introduction: How to Spot a Drow Illusionist I can identify a habitual roleplayer from fifty paces. Those who've been spooked by my asking whether they're a roleplayer within ten seconds of reading their fiction will know what I'm talking about. "But how did you know?" they gasp. When I'm done chuckling, I explain that I know they are a roleplayer, because they write like a roleplayer. There's usually a pause, then, while the writer decides to what degree they're going to feel offended by this sta

Being a Writer

On Why Being a Writer is Neither Glamorous nor Exciting If you watch the blogs and various sites around the internet about writing, you've probably seen at least one list that details a few universal truths about writers, but they all pretty much boil down to several actual truths. All writers write. All writers procrastinate. Writers don't actually write, because we spend all our time doing something else. This probably explains why, in the dark hours of one of the very last days of NaNoWriMo, I'm sitting here writing this, when my NaNo is sitting in another window with a pathetic 31.8k words. Will I finish by 11:59pm tomorrow? Probabl

20 Character Building Questions

Here’s one that comes from the Wattpad forums (or “Clubs,” but whatever. It’s a forum). How to make your character likeable. And this seems like something that a lot of beginning writers get hung up on. Nobody’s going to like your story unless your character is likeable, right? Well, not necessarily. And because it’s late, I’m going to bring up the same examples that I brought up in the thread: Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape. Draco was an odious little brat, but that didn’t stop people from falling in love with him. Snape was an abusive ass, and look at his legions of Snapewives. Neithe

Punchlines and Pay-Offs

Set-Up and Punchline: Using Narrative to Tell a Joke "Three blokes go into a pub. Something happens, and the outcome's hilarious!" -- Bill Bailey That's the basic recipe for any joke, isn't it? Set the scene, add a verb or two, and everyone laughs. But there's a problem with jokes, and it goes something rather like this: "Three blokes go into a pub, and the whole scene unfolds into a tedious inevitability." -- Bill Bailey (again) The formula to telling a joke is a bit more complex than just the basic recipe. The recipe is what you need to tell the joke; milk, eggs, flour, shortening, baking powder, saffron. But if you just look at the r

Borpa the Burp Goddess Info

Borpa the Burp Goddess Info Main Info: As the name implies, Borpa is a burp fetish goddess. Description: She’s a very elegant-looking, human-sized fairy. She wears an outfit that’s very similar to Tinker Bell’s and has D-Cups. Her red hair is done up in a bun and she’s slim with high heels. Personality: She’s bubbly, fun and, like Singulto, loves what she does. She causes a little mischief and loves a free lunch. Relationship to Singulto: The two met one day when Borpa was giving a girl burp-ups in Castelia City, Unova. They became fast friends as they spread their magic throughout the city, with Singulto giving her the hiccups. Powers: Burp Kiss: Kissing a girl gives her incurable burp-ups. Bubble Burp: Casting this spell makes girls burp bubbles. The bubbles often lead to hiccup-burps. Hiccup Touch: Just as Singulto plays with burp magic, Burpa plays with hiccup magic. With a glow from her fingers, she can give girls hiccups. The Burp-up Curse: Once it’s cast, girls get

So the characters is an OC of his and is based off another picture though I don't actually know who it's by. If anyone does know the original, please tell me so I can give appropriate credit. x.x

Other than that...um...least colourful thing I've ever done? XD I don't know. I think the piece actually speaks for itself. Most favourite thing is...well, the body actually, though there's probably something wrong. Least favourite? The mouth and tongue...XD But I'll never be happy with my mouths, I'm sure.

Well, last thing going up until after my Uni assignments go in...so enjoy it. XD

PS: Credit for the sign goes to

I do like the skull and the picture in general <3 Love you for making it. But you know me, I have to give constructive criticism. The arms, legs and skull are all very good :3 And your faces are getting better, love. Still, chest seems a bit out of place and his nipples are fun to poke at. Compared to your other stuff, anatomy is getting so much better. In other news, those nails are SEXY. I want them.
