me and my collaborator discussing what we're writing:
Che Rex
her: I have a really nasty plan for <our female protagonist>
Che Rex
me: just can't give them a tiny slice of joy in their miserable lives?
Che Rex
her: maybe her new love will give her some happiness
Che Rex
me: yeah, we're gonna have to do something to ruin that

one of the hardest writing lessons to learn is to make bad things happen to your characters.

stefficus

stefficus
: that sounds like a good plan... the possession, I mean.
stefficus
its' not exactly possession, but that's the working title of what happens to hre.
stefficus
the only reason i'm letting her 1. live and 2. come back eventually is because she (apparently? you know how they do sometimes) leaves pets behind and i draw the line there.
stefficus
i need cackling lessons.
Che Rex
we've already kinda... tormented our protagonist's pet 
stefficus
Che Rex

Che Rex

Che Rex
