#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

#PhantastikPrompts AUG-20 Hast du eine Figur erschaffen die dein Gegenteil ist?

Es wäre sicherlich vermessen, zu behaupten, #ArkanCotton und ich hätten nicht das geringste miteinander gemein, aber zumindest war dieser Charakter so angelegt, ein richtiger Widerling zu sein und ich hoffe doch, dass da die Leute, die mich kennen, gewisse Unterschiede sehen können 😅

#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

#WordWeavers JAN-17 Do you prefer long or short works?

I'm not good at writing short stories. I once wrote #ArkanCotton and I might say, it's decent, but I usually really struggle with getting everything into just a handful of pages without it sounding dull and constructed. However, some would consider my long-form texts short stories compared to their novel-ish stories in length while mine are sure not short stories but around twenty bite-sized chapters.

#PennedPossibilities 545 If your MC was asked what ‘humanity’ means to them and how they would describe it, how would they answer? Do they love or hate humans?

Arkan Cotton hates people. He might make an exception if there was a second Arkan Cotton, though, displaying traits, Arkan Cotton could be at eye level with. But maybe not. You want to be around two Arkan Cottons even less than being around one of their kind anyway.

#PhantastikPrompts DEC-11 Würde deine Figur eine barmherzige Tat vollbringen?

Arkan Cotton würde nichts tun, was nicht zu seinem persönlichen Vorteil ist. Seine Meinung von Menschen, die nicht er sind, ist – gelinde ausdrückt – nicht besonders hoch.

#PhantastikPrompts DEC-12 Wie würdest du deine Geschichte beim Publikum ankündigen, wenn sie bei einem Fest als Theaterstück aufgeführt würde?

"Liebe Zuschauer*innen, das nachfolgende Stück eignet sich vom Stoff her perfekt für ein Kammerspiel und doch bin ich immer wieder verblüfft mit welcher Brutalität der Hauptdarsteller die Hauptfigur zum Leben erweckt. Es ist erschreckend und erfüllend zugleich. Aber nun freuen Sie sich selbst auf diesen Choleriker"

#WordWeavers Nov-21 Would your MC be a good or bad upstairs neighbour?

Arkan Cotton is everything but a good neighbour, let alone a decent human being in the first place. He's egocentric and has zero empathy.
