Hero, Anti-Hero, or Villain: What Kind of Author are You?

Post one or two of your best works, and let the forums decide: are you a gleaming, shining example to all? Or a dastardly menace that needs to be stopped? Or perhaps a brooding renegade, on the fringes of society. It takes all kinds to run a community. You can't have heroes without villains, and vic…

I'm launching a gag strip I've been thinking about for a while, I figured April Fools' Day was the best possible time.

Tapas's Soundcloud feature is removed

Announcements

I used it often but I guess we could just make Youtube videos where our novel scrolls to our soundtrack, it would probably make for great coverage.

Writing about Baron Samedi

Make him as human as possible. Best example I can think of is Grim from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Dr. Facilier from the Frog Prince would also be a good reference. Someone born in the culture would know more, though.

How do you develop your characters' personalities?

Through actions! I have a basic idea of what they're like, and then I write them responding to different situations. Then I take a break and look over it again, to see if it changes how I see them. You really don't know who anyone is in a vaccuum, it's all about how they respond to different circums…

Would a nippleless body be considered nudity?

Considering people who were unfortunate enough to have been born without nipples (a condition called Nipless), in all sensitivity, we should consider it nude. They're either dressed or they aren't. But hey, there's always body paint. Maybe it's on really thick?

How do people keep up with such large casts of characters?

I make notes about their names, family trees, age, etc. Helps keep things from getting out of hand. I'm surprised how many characters are in my story now, I tried to keep it small. The important thing is to use each character well.

Description box looks different

I can see how directing people to the premium content on entry keeps them from thinking Tapas as a whole is reflected by a single community work, especially when the vast majority of links people will see are from authors looking for new readers. The premium works don't have to advertise to the same…

How risky is it to use religion as an important element in a story?

Coming Soon: Christ Marathon Jesus just wants to run the State Triathlon, but the bullies won't let him. God sends him a kegger so he can make friends at a party. Jesus runs the Triathlon and comes in first place, but the bullies cheat and he's disqualified. He gets a rematch scheduled, but Judas…
