    Oh, I'm all for character development. When a story is more about the concept than the people, I tend to get really bored, really fast. However, if nothing really happens to push the characters to their limits (see Sophie on the most recent post of TLT for an example of that) then it's just... empty. Sure, there can be tiny conflicts, but there's nothing fantastical, no real stakes, no greater good. And that is what I long for. For those reasons, I despise realistic fiction. It's sappy. Boring. And because I feel that way, I also feel like a jerk because I know that other people really enjoy it. If you coordinate, there are no surprises. Plus I really like being the one in control. (except for in Fallen - that's the best) Not really of the plot, (like I said, surprises) but of the situation. I like being able to do what I want. It's why most of my characters are so over the top. Astral is The Queen of Shadows, Star is a beloved hero, Thought is a Shard. Ember's super OP, but she's really submissive. Zeoy and Sophie don't really fit the mold, but they're also kind of the same person so.... And additionally, I have my own built in deus ex machina - Me. I feel really bad for not having any male characters besides AJ and Trewee. But, I mean, Star was married and had kids and also experienced my worst fear. Ember is literally made of rock and metal. Thought has lived for over 3,000 years. So... I think I'm doin' okay.

    A few reasons: I had no idea how to insert myself into the plot when I was part of it and that makes me doubt myself ^ also bothers me because everyone else seemed to love it so much, yet I can't get myself into it. Why? I don't like... reality. Why would you read about something real when you're already experiencing a life? Putting the magic of SA into the real world just leaves me unsettled.

    TKND.... bothers me.
  4. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Oh my Shards... Don't you long for the epic duels of the past? Don't you yearn for a story?!
  5. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Yeah, like once every hundred pages. That's no fun.
  6. Zephrun’s Imperium
    What's in a win at all? *gets far off look*
  7. Zephrun’s Imperium
    See, TLT has what you don't: PLOT. (occasionally)
  8. Zephrun’s Imperium
    This is seriously the weirdest thread on the Shard. Oh, and y'all will never catch up to TLT, BTW.

    Star sighed, tisking. "I've got plenty of proof," she said. Oh, I wish she were sober... I'd Narrate it, but... Her eyes widened. "Oh!" she said. She turned. "Pheo," she said, her eyes a little red from crying. "Do you mind getting Ember? She'll be around here somewhere." @xinoehp512

    Star's face fell. "Oh, sweetheart," she said, sniffing. "I don't care what you look like. It's what's in your heart. Remember?" She tried a smile again, but it was weaker this time.
  11. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Star laughed, wiping her eyes. "Heather... That's not very nice." She managed a smile.

    Sophie's stomach did cartwheels. "O-o-oh..." she stuttered. She shook her head. "I can't..." She took in a sharp breath, then another, and another. She shook her head rapidly. "I can't!" she cried. She sobbed. "I can't help him... I'm... Oh..." Sophie fell to her knees, heart aching at the thought of losing Xino, yet petrified of the terror of leaving her safety. She felt like a selfish brat. Xino would die because of her inability to be brave. "I wanna help..." she said. "But I..." She clenched her fists in frustration, unsure how to express how conflicted she was. "Well, why can't you help 'im?" Sorry she's been so whiny; you're asking her to do something really, really hard and she's scared out of her mind. She will do it though. Just needs a little more convincing.

    Star choked back a sob. How could Heather sit in the middle of all of this destruction so nonchalantly? How was she so flippant with her own trauma? The answer - the smashed bottles around her - was too much for Star to accept. She had to believe that Heather could change herself. Of course, now that she was an Inquisitor, that change would be a lot harder to manage. Star truly believed that Heather was strong enough, but she saw the fact that this had happened as a personal failure. Star bowed her head and wept, swallowed in deep regret. Just after she had allowed herself to be happy, to be hopeful, her world was turned over once again. "Why you?" she asked through her tears. "Why not ME instead of you? You don't deserve this... I do... I do..."

    One that Truthless was about to tell, in great detail.
  15. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Actually, she was thinking more along the lines of hot cocoa.
  16. Zephrun’s Imperium
    TVG had a plan to deal with this.
  17. Zephrun’s Imperium
    It made her hated. It made her revered. But most of all, it made her broken.
  18. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Meanwhile, Butt searched for Star, a cloud of non-Sentience still in his head.
  19. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Until, that is, Butt remembered that he loved Star.
  20. Zephrun’s Imperium
    And for the first time, the breadmunks' secret was revealed.
  21. Zephrun’s Imperium
    TVG was happy that Butt was fighting against the plot again. And, in response to his depression, Alcatraz broke...
  22. Zephrun’s Imperium
    ^ Best ninja in the entire world.

    And then beat him with her purse.
  24. Zephrun’s Imperium
    It was Bastille.
  25. Zephrun’s Imperium
    But Butt was also a little dim witted.
