    Quick clarification question, please.

    It needs to be a character that the author dislikes, correct? Not a character disliking another character?

    Correct, the character should be one that you, the author, dislike. Whether the reasons for disliking the character are in-universe (they're utterly depraved or conniving or *insert other terrible qualities*) or out-of-universe (maybe they were poorly-written or just didn’t click with you) is entirely up to you.

    Forgot to reply to this! :oops:

    @Mira_Jade has been writing fic for Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility over in NSWFF, and she's got a whole mini 'verse now, and the character in question is Mr. John Willoughby, creep extraordinaire (and not in a fun or interesting way). o_O :p I had only seen the movie once before reading Mira's fics, but it didn't really matter because they are amazing, and I highly encourage anyone who enjoys Austen or stories from that time period or just beautiful writing in general to check them out!

    Having a tough time with this challenge—I re-watched an episode of Rebels with my disliked character (Bendu) in it for background and remembered exactly how much and why I dislike him. :p

    I am working on my story, and it's about Edward from "Camp Lazlo", a show I love. It will be up tomorrow. It was hard finding a character I disliked.

    Week 8: Finding Direction. Like Nehru_Amidala, I had a hard time finding a character I hated. I managed to find one that I think is seriously overused and therefore annoying, but that's really not his fault....

    All right, guys, you have until 11:59pm EST tonight to get your Week 8 stories posted if you haven't already done so! In the meantime, we're moving right along to our next prompt...


    * * Week 9 * *

    • Write a poem in any style/form, and of any length.
    • No word limit
    • Entries due Monday, March 14th at 11:59pm EST

    There are many forms of poetry to choose from, but if you're looking for a jumping off point, here are some of the more well-known poetry forms: sonnet (including English and Italian), limerick, haiku, fixed verse, free verse, blank verse, villanelle, and ode. Of course, you can choose to do something entirely different! You have one week to write and post your poems!

    I also want to quickly remind everyone that the long vignettes are due in four weeks, so if you're like me and you haven't made much progress, this is a good time to start thinking about it!

    As always, have fun, and happy writing! :D


    ~~

    Just a bit of clarification, please. Do you want just a poem, or can there be a few lines of story for context? Also, is the poem to be attributed to me as the poet, or can it be attributed to a fictional character?

    Thank you.

    It can be any of those things, however you want to use it, as long as you write a poem. :)


    This is a far more measured response than the initial text message I received from you. ;) [face_whistling] [face_mischief]

    Just as a general rule, I prefer to keep my flail-filled ranting to text message format rather than posting :p [face_not_talking]
