Pretty much everything keii4ii said. And if you have to have a fanatic/zealot, give them something more interesting than "DO YUH BELIEB IN LAWWWD JAYSIS".
About the only thing I compile for my characters is history and motivation. I already had a sense of who the characters were beforehand because this is another draft, so I try to weave in their quirks organically into conversation or through actions they take. Because I'm not breaking any records…
My fifth grade teacher has inspired me to this day. I'm 31, so she left a hell of an impression. Basically we were a pack of jackasses and she said, "Hey ya idiots, write me a story!" and I wrote some trashy Starship Troopers story because I didn't know how to make up something of my own at the time…
I put on my writing mix, wire my nerves with an irresponsible amount of caffeine, and get to work. Even on days where I'm a whiny, lazy piece of shit, I force myself to do at least 1500-2000 words. This thing ain't writing itself. On top of that, depending on the character, I'll do my research. F…
Hello! My story is about transwoman Nicole, a survivor of an event called The Great Dementia. I didn't want to have a story with the cliche "wandering badass". Nicole needed to start somewhere different. She's a pill-popping, self hating, cowardly survivor who quickly discovers that a self-aware, fl…
Hi all! I've been working almost every day trying to get through revisions and rewrites for awhile now. Draft revisions can sometimes fry my brain. Anywho if you like stories with a darker and self-aware tone give my novel a glance. It's WIP and won't be done until I'm satisfied with it. My best …
Hello! So my character navigates a world where the sky is covered by a strange, lingering haze that caused an event called The Great Dementia. I was inspired by Las Vegas in Blade Runner 2049 and the image below. Days roll by gray and uncounted. I keep an eye on the haze, which hangs in the air l…
Executions. Oh that's just so cheerful.
There's a line I love from the first season of Westworld where Anthony Hopkins' character says this about stories and lies: “I’ve always loved a good story,” he began. “I believed that stories helped us to ennoble ourselves, to fix what was broken in us, and to help us become the people we dreame…

If you’ve picked this up I either shared it with you or I’m dead. If you murdered me, help yourself to what I have. Not much I can do about it. Hope you choke on these protein bars I worked so hard to find. Asshole. Days roll by gray and uncounted. I keep an eye on the haze, which hangs in the air…
If this thing flips over my life would officially become a slapstick comedy. Spare me that. PLEASE.
Fuck me, maybe I'm a coward after all.
Hi! I've posted this story to Wattpad. From what I've seen, a bleaker more adult oriented story doesn't seem to have the same interest as the slash fanfic or the romantic stories. I've seen some solid sci-fi works, even some interesting post-apocalyptic work from time to time on there. I thought …
I'd say mine is ultimately a tale of grief, moving on from the past, and isolation. I wanted the story to start with a dark sense of humor and layer the tension the further down the road she goes. Kinda in the same sense in Apocalypse Now. The further up the river they went the bleaker, more dire th…
Oh okay. Thank you! I saw what I did wrong.
I'm still trying to figure out the interface and all that fun stuff. My name is Natalie and I'm currently working on the third draft for my story "Armageddon Girl". So it goes without saying it's a work in progress, but I try to work on it daily. The first impression I had with the website was "H…
