Hey hey, I need some help with my story, I'm at the end of my chapter and I am having trouble with describing a scene that might be too inappropriate for the topic so could someone pm me? Thanks

I have another question of discussion for us authors.

Assuming you all are all readers as well, hopefully of YA, as that is what my question centers around, what do you think of these love interests that keep popping up?

Controlling, vindictive, rude, cruel, and the like?

Like Xavier in Halo, and Patch in Hush-Hush. What do you all think of this? I think it's sad that YA literature is now steering us down that path to that is what our love interests must be!

I myself much prefer the books with a love interest that is kind and caring. Like Duval in Grave Mercy or Po in Graceling.

So basically the question is what do you think about these characters, do you wish they didn't exist, do you like them, does your own love interest have these mean qualities?

It's totally okay if they do, by the way, nothing against your book or Hades and Hush-Hush, I actually like Hush-Hush and the following books, besides Patch, that is.

The cruel people make the story interesting though, and you get the world from a different perspective. Writers think that the sweet guys are overdone and so they're exploring with different kinds of love interests for their characters. Dark, mysterious characters have always been interesting, and vampires have just made a comeback, so it's the natural choice if writers are looking to experiment.

Personally I like the jokester characters. The James Potters and the Leo Valdezes, because they are the most fun to read and you can play around a lot with those characters when you're writing. Cruel, angsty characters just annoy me when I'm writing. I kinda want to punch them in the face occasionally, when they get too self-absorbed.

I agree, sometimes I want to punch a character, even if it's my own.

My friend gets 'offended' by what characters do to her character.
I mean, you really control what happens [but sometimes your characters seem to control you a little bit, and inspiration may go a way you don't want it to, but it turns out well] and so I don't really see why she'd get so offended.

-Well, I do, but she's just so attached to her character, it's like, if I say, "Hey, *insert character's name here* doesn't seem like she's say quite, and definitely not dear reader" she'd get a little offended.
I actually did do that, and she got defensive, (and she asked what I thought of the chapter I was reading, to make sure to keep it or not) so she *did* want critique...

Oh, her character is named something that kind of is weird, and she's so scared that someone will copy her work so I'm not at liberty to disclose the information.

Okay...so I was looking through old stuff and found this xD

it's not the best and yea..it's terrible, but might as well xD

Deception

Alright, so I've got an idea for a story, but I am not allowed to write until I finish the article. Many times I've asked for help, though I've never received it. This is actually what made my muse grow, the feeling of rejection, goes to show my emotions can actually help me sometimes. Anyways, this makes me want to write, so I have to finish my article based on Fairytale witches. So I now must ask:
Does anyone know how to write a good article, do you have any tips? I really just need help starting the article, and a good closing statement. If anyone would help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

[eden .]

so ... if it's an article, it's meant to be factual, right?

are you trying to, like, report on a witch sighting or something? a fictitious article about something that happened?
