#queerwriterschat goth western romance: Adam would probably be threatened by demon exes. high school romance: Paulie would be threatened by reading & thick books, maybe public speaking, with no other option to not include any of those.

#queerwriterschat goth western romance: scariest thing that's happened to Adam… it's when [redacted] high school romance: spoilers, but i don't care about spoiling since it's not written yet & dunno if it will be: Paulie's ex-girlfriend stalks him & does some big threatens

I don't watch enough horror myself to tell you WHAT movies tho. I try and keep my overactive & anxious brain away… even tho I scroll through scare actor reels on IG all the time… and post all the scary makeup stuff

#queerwriterschat goth western romance: Y'know I dunno if my MC Adam likes horror as a genre. He likes dark things & goth music, but for like movies & books, idk. His LI Luci likes it high school romance: My MC Paulie LOVES horror! His fave subgenre is slasher. His LI Gordon does not like horror

#weeknightwriters My interaction hyperfixation has died down immensely having been there for 2+ years, but I'm still around. I run a VC write-in on Tuesdays at 8:30PM ET. Come join me. There's also critique circles, short story discussion, outline exchanges & flash fiction contests.

He loves cinnamon, especially spicy cinnamon like the Fireball candy. & has a wicked bad problem with smoking [do not smoke, kids]. The drawings on the 1st post: 1st one is a picrew by Naylissa of my character Adam as an adult. 2nd one is a drawing by me of teen Adam—haven't drawn adult Adam yet

I swear the amputation is important lol. He had an old injury as a kid. He connects with the LI over both missing limbs. Anyway, as a teen, he used to work in his dad's wood shop, & loved detailing & do wood-burning. Not sure how much he still does now, but I'm sure he still draws. (c)

#weeknightwriters a5 My MC of this M/M (sorta) goth western romance is Adam. In my main story, he was a homophobic bully. Now, all grown up, he's a mellowed wildcard punk goth at heart who lives in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He's missing his right foot (amputated) & works unhappily in retail. (c)

picrew by @Naylissa
black background with a white male character on it. he has long dark blond hair pulled up in a manbun with an shaved undercut. has some blond facial hair, high arched eyebrows, green eyes, and snakebite piercings and double cartilage piercings. he is wearing a black button-down shirt. his right hand is held up in a slight relaxed wave

drawing by me of my white character adam as a teen. he is facing to the left with a hand up for a high five. his tongue with a piercing is sticking out. he has short dark blond hair spiked up and shaved sides. he is wearing a black american idiot green day t-shirt with a black button-up over it half-untucked with a brown leather bomber jacket with the whitish yellow fur on the collar and cuffs. he has on dark brown pants. his left hand is resting on a wooden cane. the background is solid light brown.

… his father's friend's name—important to a backstory; Erik's guardian/boss's ACTUAL name, not the name she goes by, which is Mama. A few teachers' few names, two teachers' last names… I'm sure I'm missing some…

000

#WeeknightWriters a4 Oddly picking out names. I hate them. In my general world, not for this story—tho I do have unnamed characters for this new story—I've yet to name a new boyfriend for my OC Vicky, like I know what he looks like & his job… name? nah. Also my OC Erik's father's name; … (c)

#weeknightwriters a3 I kinda already answered this in a2, but psychology and the tiniest little things which contribute to more than you think. It's all connected.

150

Sounds cute! What sorta familiars?

Well, it's a reference now. 🤣 As a kid, according to my mom The Lion King was my favorite for years. I remember loving The Lion King 2. && Mulan was definitely my favorite princess until Tangled came along.

#weeknightwriters a2 I'm struggling to answer this, so I had to wait to see what other people were answering to get more of an idea I think what I consider the most important is what makes the character tick. What's in their backstories so I can spin their behaviors that makes sense to psychology

290

I am also struggling to answer this question. #weeknightwriters

Oh that is a mood. I don't interact as much as I should. Also was that a Poor Unfortunate Souls reference? 👀

Oooh, sounds interesting! I wish you luck in finishing the draft!

thanks, but i've done the chat before. i just wasn't feeling like participating in the chat tonight. lol but obviously i'm here

yeah, the writing discord server i'm in does them every so often. i tend to never enter them 'cause i'm more of a pantser than a plotter, but i'm trying.

no worries, do what you can 💖

#weeknightwriters q1 oh i definitely create stories AROUND the characters. basically the characters are the stories. their histories & futures intertwine so the stories just happen.

Are they lovers? No, worse I’m the manifestation of her self-torment. But that's what happens when your imagination runs wild and you forget to put words on the page. #Lurktober #Amwriting #Spookyseason

One of my mottos is that writing is what makes you a real writer. To that end, if you use Gen AI to make a book you aren’t a writer. #TheLurktober
