#PennedPossibilities 832 — Imagine This: The zipper of your MC’s costume breaks. How would others react to seeing them in a Halloween costume on November 1st?

#ForYou: Oh, Rhys would go out of his way to offer the MC do undress him delightedly
#AsIf: Most people from his school would laugh with him as just yet another part of their constant bullying
#ArkanCotton: He'd never get into one in the first place, only over his dead body

#WritersCoffeeClub APR-01 in-jokes, hidden messages, easter egg

#AsIf: In the hospital there's a brief blink-and-you-miss-it crossover with #ArkanCotton from one of my other stories
#SubconsciousMind: The story is based on the novel "Geography Club", which, coincidentally gets chosen to be that year's school play in the story
#FindingMe: The story is full of geeky recurring humor that is understood without explanation between the lead chacters

#amWriting #ZuriStories

To film #SubconsciousMind, I just had from Europe to get to Alaska (preferably without flying).

Most other stories (#ExGayHusband, #ArkanCotton, #AsIf, #ForYou) could all be done as low budget productions and could be shot mostly on location

2/2

In #FindingMe: Making #TimeTravel realistic while also have it tie into the overall plot. Also, finding the right time jumps and aging my characters accordingly, wasn't that easy.

In #ArkanCotton: Writing a protagonist who was deeply unlikable, while having an antagonist with reasonable motivations (the trauma, they were based on, had to be properly explained in her backstory) but questionable actions

#WordWeavers APR-08 Are you happy? Why/why not?

#ArkanCotton: "With myself? Absolutely. How couldn't I? With everyone else? Hell no. How could I? This bunch of morons doesn't even acknowledge my genius, besides pretty everything else they do wrong."

#WordWeavers APR-06 Does your MC feel understood? Why/why not?

#ArkanCotton never feels understood because he always feels better and more clever than anyone else and doesn't hold back telling everyone exactly that to their faces.

#PennedPossibilities 259 — Sum up your MC in three adjectives

#SoulBearerLegacy/Balia: Brave, curious, open-minded

#PhantastikPrompts MAR-01 Hast du Insider-Gags oder Cameos eingebaut, die nur für dich oder eine kleine Gruppe von Menschen von Bedeutung sind?

Im Krankenhaus bei "Als ob!" begegnet die Hauptfigur Jannis auf dem Krankenhausflur Arkan Cotton, die Hauptfigur aus meiner gleichnamigen Kurzgeschichte, der sich gerade gegen den Rat des Krankenhauspersonals selbst entlässt. Mehr Berührungspunkte haben Jannis und Arkan nicht
