Writing Meme Day 5

( the questions )

5. By age, who is your youngest character? Oldest? How about “youngest” and “oldest” in terms of when you created them?

In the current timeline, Princess Assili's the youngest developed character at age 12. I've written plenty of the twins and Nol from when they were under 10, but I think of them being their current age, not small children. The Own kiddies haven't really been written enough to count, I don't think. They all range between about 3 and 10 years old, from memory.

Oldest... well now we're getting into technicalities. Yan's been around longest, so he's technically ~4100 years old, but he was killed when he was 41 and has been dead since then, so I never really know what to classify him as. ZOMBIE. Oldest living character would be King Mithé at 53. The king and queen of Llayad are in their sixties but haven't been developed yet. Oh god Llayan royalty. I'm going to have to get onto them at some point. Arg.

I just did the whole 'first character' thing a few hours ago so I won't go into those ones, but Yan's the oldest active character in terms of creation date. Twins came about the day after.

Youngest I have NO idea how to work that out. I'll just say the Kazinian princes, Sahid and Shoaib. They've had names, ages and occupations for a good three years, but only just got character and physical designs a month or two ago. They definitely haven't been around three years.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I JUST WATCHED. That is without a shadow of doubt the most fucked up movie I have ever seen in my life, and it's going to take some topping. I just. What. Seriously, what? It included, in no particular order:

Boy raping girl while girl was drugged
Girl then raping boy while boy was drugged
Two old people perving on this rape
Everyone grinning while it was going on
People having hands and feet severed. With no screaming
Man being turned into a chimp because he had sex with a demon's sex slave
Verging on kiddie porn with 15-year-old character (not actor, cos then it would surely have been illegal) and the guy who later got turned into a chimp
Kids chasing after lovesick character and pelting stones at him
Castration. By tying string around the guy's bits and pulling very hard. Oh yes. All on camera
A guy firing a giant golden dick-arrow at a girl's opened legs. Yes, that's exactly what it sounds like.
A guy getting advice from his fiancée about how to seduce a woman who threw her hanky to him out the window
The fiancée then killing herself from grief, and he doesn't get why
Full frontal nudity. Yeah. That was looking pretty tame by about 10 minutes in, when the boy started raping the drugged girl with old man and old lady perving on them.

This was for uni, people. I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

Writing Meme Day 4(ish)

Dah I forgot last night ><

( the questions )

4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters!

The first story I remember writing was when I was maybe~ 8 or 9 years old? It was about a horse that had a friend who was a chicken. I wish I'd kept the notebook I wrote that in, cos that's all I remember of it now =( I think possibly the other chickens teased the horse. Or the other horses teased it. I don't know anymore XD;

Then~ aside from school assignments I don't remember, my next conscious thought of I'm writing a story for ME was Snowdrift, a Pokemon fic I wrote back in 2000. Holy crap that thing's ten years old now. Doesn't seem that long. Anyway, that was quite popular back in the day and I was very proud of it :D Didn't know what I was doing so I had no plan to start with, just sort of winged it the entire way, threw in characters (read: new and random Pokemon) when they were needed and... yeah. It was a 15-year-old's fanfic attempt, about an Articuno whose egg got stolen, so off she flew to get it back. None of the characters really had character to speak of, except the Moltres whose name I forget. I think it was Inferno. She was a bit batshit and I wish I'd done more with her. Everyone else was so bland and boring.

My first character who came as the product of 'I'm going to make a character with CHARACTER!' was Sheena, who I'd link to a picture of but I'm at uni and for some reason the uni network doesn't like bloogum, so I can't look her up. She was the cat girl protagonist from Emerald Feather, written again with no plan in... 2002 it woulda been. She started out teeth bared and badarse, but then sort of got diluted as the story went on, sadly. Don't mistake that for character development and organic storyline, that was just bad writing and lack of planning.

And now I have characters who are people! Which is so much more fun.

Actual day 5 response to come later~ but I must away to my lecture now.
