Re: { INKLINGS } A Thread For Writers

Postby Roonil Wazlib » Sat Jun 22, 2013 3:21 am

I have a question: I want to write a story with a completely horrid main character, but I'm not sure if anyone would read it. Would you read a story with a main character that you can't really root for??

Also, I started a writing contest! viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1850205

      new story idea! tell me what you think.

      the smooth white marble halls of the domed temple are serene and silent. in the middle of the one room sits a young girl cloaked in shadow. a crowd of people surround her, all in suspense for what is about to happen. as the girl opens her eyes, and instead of being pale blue as usual, they glowed a bright white. in a strange voice, she spoke a shocking prophecy:



      i haven't thought of the prophecy yet.

I absolutely love Brave New World, and I don't like any of the main characters. I like some parts of them (but not many), especially the parts they play in the story. So yeah, sometimes I do like stories with main characters I don't like. But the story has to be good and interesting. Plus, for me it has to explain why the character is horrid and this fact has to be important for the plot.

I think that sounds like a good idea. :)


Thanks! I'll make it!

Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,



That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

I've read an entire series with a main character I really detested but he totally changed, I grew on him and he's my favorite character from the series now. Sadly, though, he died in the last book sacrificing himself to save the world... :cry:

I suppose I should post here to make sure this is on my post list since the last one got locked.

I guess it should be a relevant post.

Who here likes fantasy stories as far as dragons, elves, medieval stuff is concerned? Not like vampires or werewolves or ghosts, etc. Those are fantasy too but not what I'm asking about o3o
