Do you like to write stories with villains?
Oh you bet, those are so much fun and hey press me to be more complicated with my plot
Which do you think is the best villain you've written, and which do you think is the worst?
I think... Gosh, prorbably Jen-suk is th best one... The worst? Maybe... Turvis?
How many characters of yours have been inspired by characters in TV shows, books, and movies?
Tbh quietly a few, Martin, Jade, and Jasmine quite specifically
Which is the worst character you have ever created? ("Worst" not as in my name or your most villainous character, but as in your "why did I create this garbage" character.)
Dunno. If I don't like them I don't use them and they get forgotten.

Do you like to write stories with villains?

No. I haven't a clue why, I just...eh? I only wrote villains once or twice, and I just don't like them for no reason.

Which do you think is the best villain you've written, and which do you think is the worst?

Well, I'm writing a collab at the moment, and our villains are a bunch of godlike beings who re-conquer a world they abandoned for thousands of years. Everyone denies their existence, because no one wants the gods to be back, but they exist nonetheless. They're my best villains.

My worst one was probably Carrie (anyone thinking of Stephen King? just me?), who was a blend of my cousin that bullied me in 2nd-5th grade and the two girls that bullied me in 5th grade. She was just a terrifying, skeletal woman who chased after people with armies of enslaved bloodhounds and pitbulls, for no reason other than that I needed a villain that my self-insert could kill (and save the dogs she forced to become soldiers; I love dogs).

Stop trying to be clever, Worst. My worst character was probably Chair, the oddly named self-insert who brutally murdered the personifications of people who had bullied me in real life. Its weapons (I gave Chair it/its pronouns for some reason?) were dual broadswords, like the ones Zuko uses in Avatar: the Last Airbender; an army of friends, souls, and deities from now-dead religions; its oddly wolflike teeth; a bucket of acid; the entire Luftwaffe, a bunch of M4 Shermans, and Ethiopia's military.

I am not making this up. I wish I was making this up, but I was one strange kid.

Do you like to write stories with villains?
Yup! I don't remember very many, though....


Which do you think is the best villain you've written, and which do you think is the worst?
The Vordz are interesting :p
Um... worst villain... Probably Shaska's older brother because HAHAHA MARY-SUE ANYONE? *dies in a hole* wait, I've just had a revelation. SHASKA HAS FLAWS. I'M SO GLAD. MY BABY GIRL CAN'T BE ALL MARY-SUE <33
Now that I think more deeply on the subject, I think her brother's not so much a villain as an antagonist... OH MY GOODNESS I'VE BEEN FORGETTING THIS STORY. FROM MEMORY IT'S NOT AS BAD AS I IMAGINE. THaNK YOU FOR ASKING THIS I FEEL SO HAPPY RN


How many characters of yours have been inspired by characters in TV shows, books, and movies?
Hhhm. I don't think any one character in particular has been inspirationalised just pretend for two seconds that that's a word and let's all move on like that, but I take my story-idea-inspiration from all over the place; jam a bunch of things together and make 'em fit, ya know? :p


Which is the worst character you have ever created? ("Worst" not as in my name or your most villainous character, but as in your "why did I create this garbage" character.)
Crud. Don't look through my old writing-posts, please and thank you, and they'll be conveniently forgotten forever :.D

who is your favorite character you've come up with? describe them to us and tell us why they're your favorite!
honestly, i'm really starting to dig the ideas i'm getting for grayson in my camp nano story, but i'm also really liking rhys in that story too - so i'm not sure if i could even pick a favorite from those two. i mean, once i get more into the story, i'll actually be able to describe them better, but i'm already falling in love and i just wrote the first chapter. i'll probably talk more about my story when the time comes.

Do you like to write stories with villains?
yes! for sure. it's so fun to write them and come up with stories for them.

Which do you think is the best villain you've written, and which do you think is the worst?
i haven't written anything like this, that would include a "villain" in a while, so i'm not quite sure. however, there will probably be a few in the story i'm writing and boy am i excited.

How many characters of yours have been inspired by characters in TV shows, books, and movies?
uhm, a few? it doesn't happen very often, but sometimes i'll steal parts of their personalities and make a whole new character out of them, but it's rare i really do that. more than often, if there's a name i'll like, then you better bet i'll be stealing that from whatever to make a pretty cool new character.

Which is the worst character you have ever created? ("Worst" not as in my name or your most villainous character, but as in your "why did I create this garbage" character.)
literally any of the characters from any of my first stories, they were all absolute trash. i started writing when i was pretty young, so i don't quite remember them well enough, but i do know the first few stories i started writing were about animals and stuff. i can remember some of the characters and honestly it just makes me think back and wonder why in the world i would ever do such a thing.

question of my own that has probably been asked a billion times but why not throw another question up in here?

What's your favorite story you've ever written? Feel free to go into detail and tell us all about it!
Well, believe it or not, I'd say it's the one I'm writing right now for Camp Nano July 2017! I won't give too much away since I'll be posting in the end of July. I'll give you the blurb I wrote ^^ (sorry - but hopefully it's worth the wait?) ---

The dragons of the five kingdoms in the land of Celstite are in danger. The dragons had peace for over a thousand years, but now, after the humans finding a new planet, they have nowhere to hide. It is up to only a few of the humans to change this. For the dragons of Celstite.

What's your favorite story you've ever written? Feel free to go into detail and tell us all about it!
Well, so far I've only done an outline about it, but the story I plan on doing for November is nothing like I've ever tried to write before. Just... The setting and the plot are entirely unique from everything I've ever written and even though I haven't even started I'm really looking forwards to the challenge.

What's your favorite story you've ever written? Feel free to go into detail and tell us all about it!

hemmm...I don't know! It has to be the stories in the series I'm working on right now; long story short, three humans and a cat leave their home, travel across the sea, and become pawns in a war against their own species (except for the cat; the cat is fine).

Describe the story/series you're working on in one sentence.

An angry mercenary meets a turncoat noblewoman; chaos ensues. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[peachycupcake525]

Which is the worst character you have ever created? ("Worst" not as in my name or your most villainous character, but as in your "why did I create this garbage" character.)
Like all of the ones I made before recently.

How many characters of yours have been inspired by characters in TV shows, books, and movies?
About a million in one story I'm writing because it's in the universe of a book but with absolutely no characters from it (although I've realized that I kind of have some copied personalities, which I'm working on fixing)

[The Worst Username]

Describe the story/series you're working on in one sentence.
A radical atheist, an adulterer, an artist, and an angry cat are on the run from a corrupt theocratic government; they end up trapped in a strange land; the humans are used as pawns in a war against their own species.
