Am I on the front?

[eden .]

you don't have to be on the front to be able to post. we're trying to keep up with the updating, it's just that there are so many new members in a given week + we have lives that it gets hard sometimes [I've updated the list twice before, and it's terrible XD].
anyways, as long as you were accepted, you can post. sorry that you're not on the front D:

I'm thinking about writing a story about some kind of hero (realistic? super?) that descends into madness...any ideas about how I could pull this off?

Hello! Just poking around and I found this! I have a few CS stories, one is a comic, the others are RPs in a story format.

Hey, I'm working on something similar. Well, not really. It's a little side story of mine about a bit of an anti-hero, and well, he goes a bit mad; at least myself, him and all the other characters think he's mad. He used to be a very carefully planned character with everything he did having some sort of plan or meaning behind it, and he was also usually calm, but since 'going mad' he's a lot more spontaneous and temperamental. I'm really just writing it off the pants with no plan now, so if an idea comes to me I just write him doing it. It makes an interesting contrast, to see how I wrote him in the beginning and how I write him now. That's just been my experience with it, I don't think every 'madness' is the same. I did some research on psychology and various disorders before I started and I would suggest you do the same. It gave me a lot of ideas and also helped me realize my character's motivations and why he might act certain ways.

And also, you might consider having something traumatic happen to the character, that might make them start to go mad. I think that's an effective way to sort of make the leap from sane to insane. It doesn't even have to traumatic, just something meaningful to the character that has an effect on them.

Yes, that's my plan; to have something happen to start him on this downward spiral. I've read many psychology books over the last few months, so I'm quite prepared to write this character's descent. I'm thinking of starting the story at the trigger point for his decline, perhaps having him think back on what he did and what he stood for and how it ended up like it is. I'm only going to plan some of it, mostly let it write itself. There are many kinds of madness...some can't even really be diagnosed as any particular disorder. I intend for his descent to be violent but gradual. The people that he catches, he begins to beat and torture instead of handing them over to police straight away, then he begins killing them, eventually even lashing out at perhaps a fan and seriously harming/killing them. He might become a recluse for a while, trying to sort himself out, figure out what went wrong, and when the cops decide to arrest him, he really snaps.

Hm, there's a lot of ways to do that. Have the villain cause it somehow? Have a tragic even happen to a loved one that is the hero's fault? Many ways.
